More than 20 surgeries have recently been completed by headset-wearing surgeons at UC San Diego Health

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.

    Seems similar to factory mechanics using Google Glass to look up schematics etc.

    Of course, Google being allergic to commitments discontinued it anyway, despite its successes in industrial applications.
