4. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the AXR headset has two micro-displays and where each of the two micro-displays has a resolution of at least 4K.
5. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 4 where the micro-displays are capable of active pixel phase shift.
6. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the digital microscope viewer has two micro-displays and where each of the two micro-displays has a resolution of at least 4K.
7. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 6 where the micro-displays are capable of active pixel phase shift.
8. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the microscope cobotic arm is a six-axis cobotic arm.
9. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the monitor is a 3D autostereoscopic no-glasses monitor capable of providing 4K resolution to each eye of a user.
10. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 9 where the monitor comprises:
an LCD panel; and
an optical filter, where the optical filter comprises a thin substrate on which one or more optically active layers are applied.
11. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 10 where the thin substrate is a film or a glass layer.
12. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 10 where the one or more optically active layers comprise lenticular lenses, parallax barriers, or both lenticular lenses and parallax barriers.
13. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 10 where the LCD panel has a resolution of 8K, and the optically active layers comprise lenticular lenses capable of producing two 4K displays such that the monitor is capable of displaying a 3D image to a user without requiring 3D glasses.
14. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 further comprising:
an eye-tracking subsystem associated with the monitor, such that the eye-tracking subsystem comprises at least one eye-tracking camera mounted on the monitor cobotic arm and where the eye-tracking subsystem is capable of tracking a user's eye position via the eye-tracking camera;
a wireless system associated with the monitor; or
both the eye-tracking subsystem associated with the monitor and the wireless system associated with the monitor.
15. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the monitor cobotic arm is a six-axis cobotic arm.
16. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the camera cobotic arm is a six-axis cobotic arm.

18. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 further comprising SLAM technology and a plurality of sensors coupled to the processor such that the processor is capable of moving the microscope cobotic arm to position the microscope viewer in front of a user's face upon a cue by the user.
19. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the microscope cobotic arm, the monitor cobotic arm, and/or the camera cobotic arm use a low-friction, zero-gravity controller.
20. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the digital microscope viewer comprises two eye cups.
21. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the AXR headset is capable of protecting a user's eyes while in the vicinity of medical lasers.
22. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 1 where the AXR headset further comprises a clip-on face mask.
23. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 22 where the clip-on face mask is an N1 filtration capability mask and/or uses photocatalytic (UV energized titanium dioxide coated surface) active pathogen oxidation techniques.
24. The surgery visualization theatre of claim 22 where the clip-on face mask is capable of using a combination of photocatalytic pathogen oxidization and post filtration to capture any spuriously created ozone before inhalation.
