The operation will be shown live in VR format.

April 14, the owners of virtual reality headsets will be available live broadcast operations. The patient's diagnosis is colon cancer.



The operation will take place at the Royal Medical Hospital under the direction of Dr. Shafi Ahmed. The target audience of the “project” is primarily students and the professional community. A 360-camera will be placed above the operating table in such a way that viewers have the opportunity to observe and zoom in on objects.

The doctor specifies that this will be one of the common operations, risk-free, during which it is planned to remove the tumor to a patient who is 70 years old. However, in the case of any unplanned situations, the broadcast will be immediately stopped. The scheduled broadcast time is 2 hours.

The team has been working since 2015. Last year, for example, a video was posted with a demonstration of "training" before the operation:
