Augmented Reality in Healthcare

Augmented Reality in Healthcare

Augmented Reality in Healthcare Report Publication date: June 2013 Report size: 55 pages Report price: $ 995 Overview:  Augmented reality (AR) has gained a lot of attention for its potential use in many industry verticals including manufacturing, public safety, education, advertising, and entertainment. With the commercialization of high speed data network such as the Fourth Generation (4G) cellular networks via Long Term Evolution (LTE), the use of AR applications in healthcare represents a particularly compelling value proposition for cost reduction and of course saving lives. Many AR applications in healthcare provide the benefit of visualizing three dimensional data captured from non-invasive sensors. Applications range from remote 3D image analysis to advanced telesurgery. This report provides analysis of the current status of AR applications and future opportunities in the healthcare sector. The report includes case studies of AR in healthcare. Target Audience:  • Healthcare organizations • Mobile application developers • Wireless infrastructure suppliers • OTT application and service providers • Wireless carriers and other service providers • Augmented Reality (AR) application developers http://www.reportlinker.com/p01352439-summary/Augmented-Reality-in-Healthcare.html...

Human Engine

Human Engine

We have build the first AR app with 4D captured content for iOS. We use standard hardware (DSLR, depth camera, scanner, etc) to record an actor’s performance as a sequence of 3D objects. The ultimate goal of the Human-Engine is to be able to simulate realistic humans in real-time while incorporating 4D capture data from real humans as well as artistic input from a character designer. The technology can be used as content for Augmented Reality projects, virtual worlds, 3D games, virtual shopping platforms (for example a virtual dressing room), etc. http://human-engine.com...

Retrospective Exhibition of Augmented Reality Eyewear at AWE 2013

Retrospective Exhibition of Augmented Reality Eyewear at AWE 2013

Exhibition Showcases 35-Year History of Wearable Displays and Computing, Open to Expo Attendees on June 3-4 SANTA CLARA, CA – June 2, 2013 –  AugmentedReality.org, the producer of Augmented World Expo, the world’s largest gathering of augmented reality (AR) professionals, today announced the opening of a unique exhibition highlighting 35 years of AR eyewear and wearable computing in the Santa Clara Convention Center on June 3rd and 4th. The exhibition, entitled “Thirty Five Years of Head-­Worn Displays and Wearable Computing: A Special Retrospective,” will feature the largest collection of personal display devices ever assembled, with 25 unique head-­mounted personal displays spanning more than 35 years. This showcase event examines the notion that a major search engine company may not really be the first company to introduce personal displays that you wear on your head. The exhibition underscores the idea that now is a unique time to explore the evolution of the personal head-worn display and wearable technology category, from a perspective of engineering, functionality, industrial design and usability.  It also highlights the importance of looking into the future to contemplate how these technologies will completely change the way humans interact with the physical world. The collection will include original artifacts from the world’s first wearable computers and augmented reality vision systems and legacy products developed for the consumer market from Vuzix, Microvision, Reflection Technology, Micro Optical, Virtual IO, Sony, Minolta, myVu, and others. The event is open to all Augmented World Expo attendees with a general Expo pass. This is the second stop of the traveling exhibit, which will go on a global tour to create worldwide awareness to the evolution of augmented reality eyewear as humanity enters the era of wearable computing. The next stop of the exhibit will be at the VeillanCeNTRE in conjunction with IEEE ISTAS 2013, opening June 26th. The showcase is sponsored by Meta, a startup developing the first device allowing visualization and interaction with 3D virtual objects in the real world using your hands. It was made possible by the generous contribution from the private collections of Paul Travers, Dan Cui, Steven Feiner, Steve Mann, and Chris Grayson, and passionate volunteers who are helping advance the industry. The exhibit will coincide with the launch of the AR Eyewear Working Group discussion which will bring together the world’s leaders in the field to join forces in advancing AR to advance humanity. For more details on the fourth annual Augmented World Expo (Formerly ARE) click HERE.   Special thanks to the volunteers who helped bring the vision to life: Pete Wassell, Chris Grayson, Christine Perey, Vincent Lee, Pamela Vitale, Borislava Krasteva, Ryan Janzen, and Drew Austin.    ...
