Microsoft HoloLens Augmented Reality Glasses for Surgeons

19.12.2017

Microsoft Corporation spoke about an innovative medical project that is being implemented using HoloLens augmented reality glasses.

The HoloLens platform provides for the use of the concept of "holographic computing". Unlike traditional virtual reality systems, where the physically tangible world around the user is completely covered by the picture, HoloLens glasses allow you to see the surrounding space thanks to light-transmitting lenses.

A new project using Microsoft HoloLens technology was organized by the Madrid Gregorio Marañon Clinic (General Hospital Universitario) together with the Spanish company Exovite. Augmented reality glasses help surgeons remove malignant tumors in the muscles.

The system, called HoloSurg, provides a set of virtual interactive panels projected into the surgeon's field of view, and allows you to see both real and virtual objects.

These panels display vital patient information such as a surgical atlas, 2D and 3D X-ray and tomography images, allowing surgeons to pinpoint the location of tumors to be removed.

The system allows you to display information in any place convenient for the doctor, scanning the room with all the objects in it and creating a three-dimensional map of the real environment. Moreover, virtual panels can be resized, and gestures and voice commands are used to move them.

Mixed reality allows surgeons to quickly access critical information while maintaining the ability to interact with the real world, including with other doctors and patients themselves. Traditional VR headsets do not provide this capability.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Movement of self-driving cars without marking 29.09.2016

Hitachi Automotive Systems has developed a new software and hardware system that will help self-driving cars keep moving in the right lane, even if the markings are not visible.

Cameras that monitor the situation in front of the car, in certain situations, can transmit insufficient detail to the on-board computer to accurately determine the markings on the road. This can happen, for example, in bad weather, when the markings are simply impossible to see.

In such a situation, the Lane Mark Fusion complex, created by Hitachi specialists, is called upon to help the autopilot. The idea is to use existing camera data to determine the lane lines: it can be saved during previous trips on the same road, or, say, written into the computer's memory by a navigation software developer.

Lane Mark Fusion can keep your vehicle moving in the correct lane, even if the lane itself is not visible, using lane marking information and GPS readings.
