A new study conducted by a research team from the Carle Illinois College of Medicine has concluded that mixed-reality devices are becoming more widespread in medicine and medical practices.

The team surveyed the use of mixed reality and hologram technologies in pharmaceutical practices such as surgery planning.

The research also concluded that mixed reality technology would likely make surgical procedures more efficient and safe while also making the training process more available by removing barriers to entry to high-quality training needed to perform complex medical operations.
