For the first time in medical history, students are using mixed reality technology and 3D holographic subjects to train for their practical medical tests. The students are using a new and advanced training system that leverages mixed reality headsets and life-like holograms of subjects with medical issues to enhance their practical skills. Check out the details below!
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS (CUH) recently took to Twitter to share that medical students at Addenbrooke’s Hospital are the world’s first to use a new virtual training system for a new way of learning. The training system is called HoloScenarios and is being developed by CUH, the University of Cambridge, and an LA-based technology firm GigXR. You can check out the tweet along with a short video attached right below.
