Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro (time.com)

As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.

How so?

They're using it in a way that it was designed for (creating little virtual mirrors of real displays/data to reference) when performing surgery.

It might not have been what Apple intended it for, but it's hardly the end of the world like "surgeon peforms surgery according to LLM" would be.

It might benefit the surgeons and patients, if it helps reduce fatigue, mistakes, and/or miscommunication, like the article suggests.
