Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv recently allowed two surgeries – a Caesarian section and an open heart operation – to be filmed in VR technology, allowing for a 360-degree view.
The filming was done in cooperation with Samsung and allows viewers to watch the surgeries from every possible angle throughout.
