A new partnership involving Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) and the University’s Faculty of Education, brings medical training using 'mixed reality' technology one step closer. The project aims to make consistent, high-level and relevant clinical training more accessible across the world.
Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using ‘holobricks’ that can be stacked together to generate large-scale holograms.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have designed a new type of pixel element and demonstrated its unique switching capability, which could make three-dimensional holographic displays possible.
Holograms made of tiny particles of silver could double the amount of information that can be stored in digital optical devices, such as sensors, displays and medical imaging devices.
‘Smart’ holograms, which are currently being tested to monitor diabetes, and could be used to monitor a wide range of medical and environmental conditions in future, have been developed by researchers.
A breakthrough in the use of carbon nanotubes as optical projectors has enabled scientists to generate holograms using the smallest ever pixels.
Good health is a basic human requirement for a high quality of life. Diagnostic tests and procedures are vital tools in the armoury of the physician to help confirm or rule out affliction with a medical condition.
