*Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro In Operating Rooms*
<https://time.com/7093536/surgeons-apple-vision-pro/>
Over the last month, Horgan and other surgeons at the University of
California, San Diego have performed more than 20 minimally invasive
operations while wearing Apple's mixed-reality headsets. Apple released the
headsets to the public in February, and they've largely been a commercial
flop. But practitioners in some industries, including architecture and
medicine, have been testing how they might serve particular needs.
Horgan says that wearing headsets during surgeries has improved his
effectiveness while lowering his risk of injury-and could have an enormous
impact on hospitals across the country, especially those without the means
to afford specialty equipment. "This is the same level of revolution, but
will impact more lives because of the access to it," he says, referring to
his previous breakthrough in 2000.
