New da Vinci Robot Displays Your Internal Organs in 3D HD!

8:20AM April 7, 2009 | Mark Wilson

It’s the ultimate home theatre system that you’ll (hopefully) never be conscious to see.


The old da Vinci was alright, but the new da Vinci Si surgical system displays your intestines in 3D HD (a perspective created through a double-camera, double-display stereoscopic system) so that a surgeon can marvel at the efficiency of your GI tract and feel like those vital organs are right there.

So would you prefer a surgeon to perform your next operation, or a surgeon behind the da Vinci? We’d prefer a normal surgeon donning old school blue and red 3D glasses. [da Vinci via medgadget]

    That’s a nice question. But even more interesting:

    Or would you prefer the best surgeon in the world via a robot, or an available surgeon in your direct environment?
