Check out this surgery being performed with the help of HoloLens

Nosotros've already seen Microsoft HoloLens used in a number of different industrial applications, only the mixed reality headset is as well showing potential in teh medical field. Not only is the headset beingness used to help design operating rooms, but a recent livestream has shown off how information technology tin exist used by surgeons during surgery too.

French surgeons, led by Dr. Thomas Grégory, head of the department of orthopedic and traumatological surgery of AP-HP Avicenne Infirmary, livestreamed what they're calling the "globe'southward first surgical intervention performed with a mixed reality collaborative platform." Using HoloLens, the surgeons were able to superimpose holograms over patients to help visualize portions of the patient's anatomy while operating. And because each surgeon was wearing a headset, each could work collaboratively, viewing the same model in the same position.

Though the process can seem clunky at times throughout the sit-in, it's an interesting await at how an evolving engineering could utilise to delicate procedures going forward. We've held off on embedding the video hither because it includes graphic images of a real functioning, but if you're interested in seeing it for yourself, y'all tin can view the surgery on YouTube at present.
