Inside the HoloCamera: How 3D Capture is Transforming Medical Training
Medical educators at the University of Maryland, Baltimore led by Dr. Cheri Hendrix and computer scientists at the University of Maryland, College Park led by Amitabh Varshney collaborate to teach physician assistants with the help of an immersive virtual reality tool called HoloCamera.The HaloCamera is a volumetric capture studio, which is the same technology used in virtual reality and augmented reality games and providing character modeling in movies. This revolutionary technology uses 300 cameras and AI-powered data to create lifelike 3D simulations, helping medical students and professionals experience patient care in an entirely new way. Watch as virtual patients come to life, allowing physician assistant students at the University of Maryland School of Graduate Studies, located in Baltimore, to see real-time anatomy and symptoms up close, and take control of their medical education like never before.#Halocamera #MedicalTraining #3DTech #AIinMedicine
