Comment on Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro

Lol wut. Surgeons bitch when they’re wearing so much as a headlamp. A bulky-ass VR headset will never be a thing in the operating room beyond the odd techy doctor who’s in a VR infatuation phase.
The Davinci surgical robot has a VR headset kinda built into it so surgeons can see in 3D when they’re doing robotic assisted surgeries, but that’s not something they wear : it’s a little station they sit at and just lean forward into, no straps or weight or anything.

Ergonomically, I’m not sure that’s better. Sure they don’t have weight on them that the headset would add, but being able to freely move your head without holding it against a stationary headset would be quite an improvement.

Surgeons are some of the worst people I’ve had the displeasure to interact with, and I meet people all over the US for work. I can’t imagine the difficulty people have of teaching a living god a new way of doing their work.

For it to have any chance you’d have to get it introduced in med school and brought with so those gods can demand the hospital cater to their wills.

/shrug. No insight on the effectiveness of the design; that’s just what’s in use now.
