As highlighted in the paper Apple Vision Pro for Healthcare: “The Ultimate Display”? – Entering the Wonderland of Precision Medicine, Apple’s Vision Pro is a significant leap in Mixed Reality (MR) and healthcare.

• Vision Pro combines Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) using Video See-Through (VST).
• Unique features include an inside-out screen for external eye visibility and a ‘Digital Crown’ for blending digital and physical environments.
• It’s untethered save for the battery connection, offering agility in medical settings unlike competitor Varjo XR-3.
• This device could address clinical AR challenges and enhance doctor-patient interactions.

The importance of the Vision Pro lies in its potential to transform the medical domain by addressing long-standing usability issues. It could also usher in a new era of patient care where technology assists in improving the quality of face-to-face interactions.
