Holograms for Medical Students
Instead of Cadavers
Published on Jul 13, 2016
Microsoft is big on using HoloLens to advance science and education,
but what will that actually look like? You might have a good idea after
today. The company has posted a video showing how Case Western Reserve
University would like to use the holographic computer to teach medicine.
Students could walk around anatomical models to see how bones, muscles
and organs work in the context of a human body without resorting to
cadavers. They could also produce simulations that let future doctors
fail in a relatively low-stress environment -- there's no live patient
here, after all. Although it'll probably be a while before you have to
don HoloLens to complete a PhD, this clip shows that it's no longer an
outlandish concept.
In a partnership with Microsoft, medical students at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University are learning the intricacies of the human anatomy with holograms.
The goal is for a team of students and faculty to create a comprehensive anatomy curriculum using HoloLens, Microsoft's augmented reality headset that projects computer-generated holograms onto users' view of the physical world.
Radiology professor Mark Griswold was one of the first people at CWRU to test HoloLens. Griswold's "world had changed the moment he first used a prototype," according to a press release from the university.
"I think this will improve students' confidence in learning anatomy dramatically," says Griswold in the video below. "With HoloLens, you can imagine having a class standing around a model, almost like a tour group in a museum, where they're all interacting completely naturally."
The technology proved itself instantly to students, too.
"You can take any anatomical part and show any of it," said CWRU medical student Satyam Ghodasara. "You can move it around, you can make it kind of translucent so you can see through the outside, and that really helped me understand how cardiac anatomy worked. It was a way of seeing it that you couldn't do with an actual heart."
From arts to astronomy, archaeology to engineering, augmented reality could have huge implications for how people learn. “The whole campus has the potential to use this," said Griswold. "Our ability to use this for education is almost limitless."
Even NASA has plans for the HoloLens. They want to send headsets to space so Earth-bound scientists can better collaborate with their colleagues in the cosmos.
