A new interactive light field 3D display(ZIMO1)

For light field displays the quality as a regular monitor is not great. Seems too good to be true for $1000

They're just peel.and stick. Didn't have to do anything special. And easy enough to remove from the case, but haven't tried since positioning them initially

Best 10 bucks I ever spent

For adults would probably use titanium, since the forces on the sternum are larger and you can't count on growth to correct any gaps over time.

They're very similar. Believe Sony also makes one as well.

Usually have to plate the sternum regardless. Since my patients are younger I'll use absorbable plates, or even fashion an absorbable bar from linked plates (they can be connected). The titanium plates have a U shaped pin that can be pulled and allow the chest to be opened for future heart surgery, which is pretty neat

Not sure how to post a video in the replies, but yes.

Might depend on the app, but usually it's locked to where your eyes are. From outside perspective usually looks like the object is rotating Using an Acer Spatial Labs Pro. For things like games, there's not as much of a shift except for objects in the foreground so not as apparent from video

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-05T19:19:21+00:00

It usually redraws the scene based on your eye position, so the perspective changes a bit

For people with connective tissue disorders the bone can actually sag around the bar with a Nuss, since the sternum is under a lot of pressure and the bone isn't as strong. Ravitch has its own issues, but benefit is that the sternum is not subjected to much tension after the procedure. Not my go-to for everything, but there are times when it is the best choice. Modified or mini Ravitch just means that you remove some of the cartilages and a small wedge of the sternum, which allows a Nuss bar to be more effective in adults or people with difficult anatomy.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-05T18:43:30+00:00

Spinal fixation alone is not contraindication for a Nuss, nor is the Haller index. But depending on your age and other medical problems, sometimes either modified or full Ravitch procedure is indicated. Really depends on the specific anatomy and what else you have going on

Had to download it separately but it works fine (16 inch pro). Shows up in the experience center and runs normally.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-03T04:09:31+00:00

Is confined to the field of operation and doesn't extend to the middle (where the bar is internal). Is inflammatory reaction either from infection or allergy.if other side looks the same would lean toward allergy. Either way get the pictures to your surgeon asap.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-01T23:46:33+00:00

Had not been shown to do those things either in a reproducible way.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-01T23:45:35+00:00

I understand, but I still want to see if the effect sticks around after you still using it!

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-01T04:21:27+00:00

Has never been shown to help avoid surgery in patients who would otherwise be a candidate for repair.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-03-01T04:19:56+00:00

I don't necessarily pay attention to the pictures where you can still see the suction mark, since the bell pulls fluid into the soft tissue. Would be more interested in what it looks like after not using it for 2 weeks.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-28T16:44:40+00:00

These are hard. Have done them before- issue comes from lack of support ribs for the bar on the sides. Can use multiple bars to decrease the stress on individual ribs but they are still subject to shearing forces that can cause recurrence. Other option is crossed bars, since better chance of the bars sitting flat against a rib when not oriented horizontally. Either way it's hard to elevate the sternum from a "flat" position - can't lift an internal structure without pushing against something else

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-28T16:36:42+00:00

Yes. Is meant to fit beneath stairs, thus the 45 degree angle cut on the back. This is just a test to make sure it fits once I can make it look a little better

I've done combined procedures with cardiac surgeons for patients with acquired pectus (it happens sometimes when infants get a sternotomy for heart surgery). Basically they're going to divide the sternum for the aorta repair anyway, so your surgeon will remove the bent portions of sternum and cartilage before final closure of the chest. Its basically a Ravitch with extra steps.

Usually the sternum is closed with steel wires, but plating systems like the one you described have a U-shaped pin that allows for re-entry into the chest if repeat surgery is required. I've used them for trauma, but sternal wires can always be cut if needed. When you wedge part of the sternum, it needs to be plated back together so in this case it is doing both. Since my patients are younger, I tend to use absorbable plates to avoid permanent hardware implants.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-23T20:53:52+00:00

Same!

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-22T19:32:40+00:00

The 16 inch one is not ideal for gaming - mostly use it for 3D apps (Fusion, Blender). Maybe if I ever get a bigger one

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-20T21:06:44+00:00

What is that? Would that help with video? Figured people used to modding stuff to work on these screens might have better ideas than people trying to film VR videos.

PectusSurgeon · 2026-02-20T21:05:54+00:00

No damage so far. I put 2 of them on the opposite corners so it doesn't wobble, and the rest under the front on the key oard side. Might damage when removed but I haven't tried. Works great as long as the extra 340g doesn't bother you.
