Aug 15, 2024 One key player in the 3D technology space in medicine is AR/VR/MR (augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality). Parallel to the advancement of 3D printing, but on a somewhat divergent path, these technologies are increasingly popular with clinical end users, with applications ranging from education, telemedicine, surgical planning, intra-operative guidance, and even immersive therapy for mental illness. With the premiere of many new, more user-friendly hardware supporting AR/VR/MR from the big tech and the rising force of artificial intelligence, these technologies are no longer just complementary; they are becoming a force to be reckoned with in future healthcare. Join this exciting event, where we invite innovators, clinicians, researchers, and entrepreneurs to showcase the almost infinite possibilities in which these technologies drive innovation and improve healthcare outcomes.
