“In an industry that relies heavily on charts and graphical information, we think Apple’s head-tracking technology would be welcomed by physicians. It could be used to view X-rays, CAT scans, MRI scans, anatomical diagrams and more. For example, a neurologist could review an MRI scan of the brain by turning their head or using hand gestures.”
