Holographic Screens as a Replacement of Monitors During GI Endoscopies

Nowadays, the application and development of spatial technologies have shown an increased interest in different fields of medicine, especially in procedural specialties. Many studies have shown the utility of augmented and virtual reality; however, studies evaluating mixed reality are scarce.In gastroenterology, some proposed advantages of MR are the 3D space guidance, its increased situational awareness, remote assistance, and the reduction of surgical monitors in the units. Based on this, the researchers proposed a multicenter trial to assess the added value of MR through a holographic device during gastroenterology endoscopic procedures.
