IN THE NEWS

Apple Vision Pro Reselling

The limited release of Apple Vision Pro is creating scarcity outside the United States. From the Apple site and store, the Vision Pro goes for $3,499 but in reseller marketplaces in Asia, its listing more than $5,000+.

Another is the Chinese listed the Vision Pro for 36,000 yuan, or $5,000, while a Singaporean reseller listed it for 8,500 Singapore dollars, or $6,300.

I decided to take a look at the current reselling price on eBay and the price rang between $3,900 to $5,800.

HEALTHCARE

Osso VR launches controller-free options for surgical training VR

The Osso VR announced launch of Hand Control -a control-free option for its virtual-based surgical training system.

The Hand Control feature uses cameras in the headset to track users’ hand and figure movements within virtual reality. It leverages Meta’s latest hand-tracking APIs. Also, it supports all standard controller interactions and users can choose between hands-free or traditional controllers.

“At Osso VR, we’re all in on creating a super-realistic setup for surgeons using our devices

Think of Hand Control as an extra tool in their toolbox, helping them learn and train with maximum realism and impact,

We’ve put in the work to ensure that any new features we launch only work to improve user experience, and Hand Control allows physicians to replicate precise movements and techniques.”

- Dr. Justin Barad, an orthopedic surgeon who is the founder and CEO of Osso VR
