TrueVision Systems, Inc. is helping budding ophthalmologists in the operating room by providing a new tool to help observe surgeries. The Santa Barbara CA based company is offering “3DHD” – a technology that projects a 3D image from an LCD screen (think Avatar the movie – hence the James Cameron reference). Its initial design is most beneficial for instructional purposes. Residents and students are able to observe delicate surgeries enlarged in great 3D detail, of course with the help of polarized 3D glasses.

Check out their page for a video in the operating room. Drew Carey bonus points if you know the bands playing in the background, I’ve got the song titles – Amber and Facedown. I’d like to hang with these MDs, they know good music.
