Boosted by virtual reality and AI, telesurgery is on the rise
“The goal is surgeons who have the world’s best expert surgeon virtually at their side in every case and the experience of thousands of cases,” says University of Washington’s Dr. Sam Browd.

telesurgery is the ability to take detailed, in-depth data in the operative room and share it in real time, anywhere, and with imperceptible latency, so assisting surgeons can have the experience of depth perception and immersion as if they were in the operative room next to the lead surgeon.

Chinese augmented reality glasses maker Nreal valued at $700 million after fresh funding
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/23/chinese-ar-glasses-firm-nreal-raises-100-million-in-new-funding.html
Apple CEO Tim Cook has called AR the “next big thing” and the iPhone maker is reportedly working on a headset. Facebook, Microsoft, Google and other technology companies are all investing in augmented reality too.
Xu said he welcomes the competition from these titans. “I think the best product will win,” he said.
Nreal has its own operating system called Nebula that runs on its headsets. Like Apple with iOS on iPhones, developers can make apps for Nebula which people can then use via Nreal headsets.
Having compelling apps on AR headsets will be key to their success and Nreal is trying to lure developers onto Nebula. The company currently has 8,000 developers on the platform.

Some fluff on the metaverse
https://skarredghost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/skarredghost.com/2021/09/21/metaverse-fluff/amp/
I remember some years ago reading an article on The Verge saying that like 40% of startups that claim to do AI actually don’t do AI. They just use the name AI because it is cool, but they don’t actually use it. The same goes for the metaverse. I’ve seen things like a company that does AR/VR software writing on Linkedin “WE CREATE METAVERSES”.
