"allow a surgeon anywhere in the world to view an operating surgeon’s viewpoint and give them advice."

Have they shipped telepresence where the camera feed of one headset is live streamed to another? For getting expert advice remotely this does sound like a killer app (or should I say lifesaving?) , like having a voice in your head who is situated in the same viewpoint as you

If there's one thing surgeons like, it is advice from other surgeons.

I’m guessing that /s applies here; but since I’m married to a surgeon and through her, understand that the truth around that, and around advice-taking and -giving behaviour in and out of the OR is far more nuanced than you might imagine.

That's cool. I actually am a surgeon.

Ideally make it a group session. If there’s one thing surgeons like even more, it’s advice from a bunch of other surgeons dialed in from lunch, all giving advice at once.

It's available now but you have to request permission from Apple.

But once you do you can access the camera feed, compress and stream across the world.
