The two surgeons were able to discuss the case in a truly interactive fashion since Dantuluri could watch Ponce perform the surgery yet could introduce his hands into Ponce's view as if they were standing next to each other. Using VIPAAR, a remote surgeon is able to put his or her hands into the surgical field and provide collaboration and assistance."
"You see the line, although it's not really on the field. "It's not unlike the line marking a first down that a television broadcast adds to the screen while televising a football game," said Ponce. Ponce saw Danturuli's hands as a ghostly image in his heads-up display. VIPAAR allowed Dantuluri, who saw on his computer monitor exactly what Ponce saw in the operating room, to introduce his hands into the virtual surgical field. The built-in camera transmitted the image of the surgical field to Dantuluri. Ponce wore Google Glass during the operation. Watching and interacting with Ponce via VIPAAR was Phani Dantuluri, M.D., from his office in Atlanta.
