3D VR Colonoscopy allows better colorectal cancer prevention
At UCSF's 3D Imaging Lab, radiologist Judy Yee, MD, pulls up an image that looks more like a birthday party balloon animal than a patient's colon: a vibrant, color-segmented tube, torqued and twisted in on itself. Created from thin slices of a CT scan, the image appears in 3D on the flat screen. It can even morph into video "fly-through" views, enhancing polyps, lesions, and other precancerous anomalies.
The best of fashion technology
This year’s launch event of London Technology Week, Europe’s largest festival of technology, is set to bring together some of the UK’s leading fashion technology designers for a first of its kind fashion technology showcase. London based fashion designer Brooke Robertshas been commissioned by London & Partners, the Mayor of London's promotional company,to curate the exhibition which will be displayed at the launch of London ...
Mixing solids & liquids enhances optical properties of both
By immersing glass particles in a fluid, researchers at MIT’s Media Lab and Harvard University are exploring a new mechanism for modifying an optical device’s diffusivity, or the extent to which it scatters light. In its current form, the new diffuser could be used to calibrate a wide range of imaging systems, but the researchers believe that their mechanism could ultimately lead to holographic video screens or to tunable optical devi...
Holographic flexible smartphone renders 3D images
Researchers at the Human Media Lab at Queen’s University have developed the world’s first holographic flexible smartphone. The device, dubbed HoloFlex, is capable of rendering 3D images with motion parallax and stereoscopy to multiple simultaneous users without head tracking or glasses.
Rogue drones spawning a raft of counter technology
There have been several high profile incidents of UAVs, or drones, entering into areas where they shouldn’t be – leading to concerns that they could be employed by criminal or terrorist groups.Whether that threat is real or whether there is an element of scaremongering going on, there is no doubting the rapid rise in the number of commercial drones taking to the skies.
Technological solutions for the European creative industries
The EU-funded CRE-AM project, which held its final conference in Brussels on 23th February 2016, has built a vital bridge between the European creative industries and the ICT sector to foster new technologies, tools and policy initiatives. The project has provided a number of recommendations and roadmaps, and constructed several stakeholder-focused online platforms, that aim to encourage the EU's future ICT R&D agenda to develop new tools tha...
Microsoft & the NFL explore the future of football
What if game day was no longer confined to a television screen, but covered a room and took over the coffee table? Microsoft has teamed with the NFL to demonstrate what might be possible with HoloLens, which the company hails as the world’s first fully untethered holographic computer.
Microdisplay technologies enable the AR/VR revolution
If the buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show is any indication of things to come (and it usually is), 2016 is expected to be the year of VR. Much anticipated VR headset launches, announcement of investment in enabling technologies and developments of optimised components made VR the words on everyone's lips at CES 2016. By Dr Harry Zervos, Principal Analyst, IDTechEx.
New holographic technology implemented in vehicles
Cambridge researchers have developed a new type of display for vehicles which is the first to use laser holographic techniques to project information such as speed, direction and navigation onto the windscreen. The technology is now available on all Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. According to researchers, these new systems provide a fully immersive driving experience and could even improve safety by monitoring driver behaviour.
SICK Glare Puts the Gloss On High-Performance Detection
SICK has developed the Glare sensor to deliver effective glossy material detection and discrimination for a wide range of automation, product handling and packaging processes.
