In just a few short years, you will not have to go to the surgeon, the surgeon will come to you. OK, maybe we are not there yet, but using VR as a teaching element in many industries is surely upon us. The gist of this demonstration was that the doctor used a VR glove to control a robot arm on the other end. I hear they are doing real life vasectomy operations next week and are looking for volunteers. No charge if something goes wrong.



Mahdi Yahya, President of Room One, said: “The connectivity revolution is bigger than the industrial revolution. We are only at the start of what is possible. Remote surgery over the Internet; the creation of fully immersive virtual worlds; homes, cars, and phones that speak to each other instantly over the network. As creatives, designers and technologists, it is our duty to realise this future.”
