    AbstractApple unveiled its highly anticipated mixed-reality headset, called the Apple Vision Pro on June 5, 2023. The primary user interface relies on eye tracking, hand, gestures, cameras, and sensors, eliminating the need for physical controllers such as keyboards or touch screens. The refined capabilities of this technology can be utilized for diverse purposes, including but not limited to medical and surgical education, and remote medical consultations. All things considered, virtual reality is a highly promising area for the future of medicine, from improving medical education and vision screening to physical and psychological rehabilitation. We look forward to further innovations in this exciting area for years to come.© 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland.
