Workshop: XR in Medicine: From the Dev Floor to the Operating Room
DescriptionThis SIGGRAPH Frontiers workshop brings together leading minds in immersive technology and clinical practice to explore what it truly takes to translate XR from lab demos to life-saving tools. Through concise presentations, clinical case studies, and a live, collaborative design session, attendees will engage directly with surgeons and physicians to uncover real-world needs, constraints, and opportunities. Rather than pitching solutions, this session fosters dialogue—inviting developers, researchers, and medical experts to co-design the future of XR in medicine. If you’re interested in meaningful impact, this is where innovative graphics meet practical care.
