MediView XR Earns CE Mark for AR Surgery Guidance (November 2025)
AR is reaching extreme settings. Arizona State University researchers (Nov 2025) unveiled an AI-powered AR “smart glass” system that can provide real-time medical guidance in remote locations – even in space or rural deserts with no internet. The headset overlays step-by-step instructions into the wearer’s view, acting like an emergency assistant for astronauts or field medics.
