LifeVision 3D System Given Highest Ratings by Physicians at SAGES Meeting (2009-05-04)
LifeVision technology is a new glasses-free 3D solution for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Approximately two-thirds of all surgeries performed today still use a more traditional open approach and most of today’s laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries are viewed on a flat, two-dimensional (2D), High Definition display. The added comfort and realism provided by a glasses-free 3D image will make it is easier for a surgeon to consider the MIS option. Physicians testing the new LifeVision™ technologies at The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) meeting in Phoenix, AZ, gave the newly developed prototype nearly perfect ratings in nine categories and enthusiastically supported its use in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries.
