For $3500 in the medical field having vitals of the patient in front of you while looking at the area you’re working and getting complete control of the operation area without having to move your hear sounds like a winning combo.
It’s way too heavy for that. Imagine that thing while operating for several hours. It’s a sure way of getting neck pain. Early laparoscopic optics used lightweight visors directly on the face, doctors were extremely weary. The tech was dropped almost immediately, instead they now project the image on a big TV screen. The Vision Pro is a non-starter at a surgery room, or even as a remote control for robotics.
Isn’t a surgeon’s “HUD” a killer app?
It’s probably a good product, but in niche applications, not for the masses.

Medical industry on the whole try not to use “killer apps”. It’s sort of defeats the purpose
I mean “groundbreaking”.
