Virtual Reality For Operations

I was just watching this program and they used virtual reality to see if they could fix a heart without having it to be in a real person. This is so interesting because it means that surgeons can practice operations without it having to on a real person. They had all of the tools that they needed to operate and they could even use their hands with all of there fingers, this is a lot further than we have currently got on any gaming platforms. The only thing that could come close to this would be the oculus rift that they are releasing where it tracks the user's hands through lots of cameras.

This is such an advancement because surgeons can see if their operation will go well without having to risk someone's life to get it to work. They can run through operations with no risk at all which will take the nerves off the surgeons which will help them to perform better in real life. I have never seen this done before so it has got to be something new that they have just come out with.

I will keep you posted as I learn a lot about new technologies and hopefully teach some of you reading something new to bring up in conversation.
