Feasibility and Ergonomic Impact of A Virtual Reality Headset in Endoscopic Procedures

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a virtual reality headset (VRH) during endoscopy and its impact on the endoscopist ergonomics. We will use the Apple Vision Pro during approximately 140 endoscopic procedures during which ergonomics will be assessed.

Inclusion Criteria:
