Course Information

Overview

Mixed-reality technology is advancing rapidly, with headsets capable of accurately rendering 3D objects in fixed locations, tracking objects, and enabling interaction between virtual and real objects. There are tremendous opportunities to use mixed reality for medical applications, from education to diagnosis to procedure guidance.

This course introduces students to technology, and first guides them through a technology development project. Next, working closely with clinicians, students will design a prototype solution to actual medical challenges, and present solutions to both clinical and technical experts.
