Having worked with patient simulator systems, and at this point having used an oculus system to explore various virtual reality (VR) recordings for several months, this reviewer thought the above title might be worth reading and reviewing for the readers of IEEE Pulse. Per the publisher’s website advertising, the readership of this text might be “Extended reality technologists and engineers, students in biomedical engineering and extended reality, Instrumentation and measurement technologist and engineers, Computer Scientist; Health care professionals with an interest in using extended reality in surgery.” From the preface, we are promised an “elaborate introduction to extended reality,” a discussion of “future research, potential impacts, and benefits and benefits of XR adoption in health care” (XR is here defined as extended reality), as well as cases and case studies relating to the technology. The text comprises 15 chapters contributed by 34 individuals, two of whom are among the four named editors. A brief review of the chapters1 follows.
