Logitech wants your XR controller to practise surgery on

Before a pilot flies you to Cancún, they've logged hours in a simulator crashing planes that don't exist. Surgical training has had a harder time getting that same safe-repetition advantage, until now. Logitech has a concept that turns its XR controllers into medical instruments, letting surgeons practice procedures in virtual space using the same tactile hardware they'd eventually hold in an operating room. It's the kind of sideways thinking that makes you wonder why nobody did it sooner. The controllers already have the ergonomics. The haptics are already there. So why not teach a scalpel grip with the same gadget you'd use to swing a lightsaber? The concept is early, and Logitech isn't shipping kits yet, but the razor clam here is the deliberate repurposing of existing hardware.
