A form of representation suits VR

A form of representation I feel would be suited for VR medium for doctors during a surgery.

It creates an interface to the world where the doctor can comprehensively assess the patient’s physical situation, instead of just seeing from a single dimension screen and being influenced by the surrounding environment. It is common nowadays that a doctor’s hands are operating a surgery while turning his/her head to another direction to see the instant image on the screen, this is an “inhumane” design for doctors because it loses the coherency of eyes and hands. What’s more, there are multiple other external conditions might influence a doctor’s judgement – the light in the operation room, the anxious patient, or even the breathe of the surgery assistants. Therefore by implementing VR into this specific situation will minimize the external influence so the doctor could have a better performance.

By operating with the precise equipment attaching to VR, the doctor will be able to focus on minor details in the surgery (eg. sewing the wound) and eliminate the failure of false judgment.
