Visualizing Medical Data In Virtual Reality
Visualizing Medical Data In Virtual Reality
Objective of the project is to Survey VR Data Visualization Software for Research. VR enables learning about tissue structure and anatomy using an immersive 3D visualization. HMDs are already being used in medical situations. Groups at Stanford use the Microsoft HoloLens to visualize breast cancer tumors before and during surgery. VR models can be used to study the vasculature of organs such as the retina, brain, heart etc.
Explore available visualisation softwares, medical data and build VR softwares to aid medical research and study.
