WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
The cost of healthcare can be reduced through the use of more efficient medical visualization, image processing and diagnostic tools. The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, a leading international applied research institute, has made groundbreaking developments in these areas.
Come and join us for an insight into these exciting and efficient technologies and a Q&A session following the presentation.
New Displays and Interfaces: Using the virtual reality of 3-D co-operation spaces allows for better orientation and teamwork, and a faster analysis or response to a given situation. The speakers will show different 3-D approaches in theory and practice and demonstrate touchless control and applications for medical purposes.
Image Processing and Diagnostics: To analyze and categorize the huge amount of data provided by the new imaging technologies is a great challenge. Fraunhofer developed solutions for creating, archiving and processing great amounts of visual data such as images derived from electronic endoscopy, wireless sensor networks, auto-stereoscopic 3-D displays, picture and video retrieval systems, as well as new ways to find and compare similar disease patterns.
See the following exhibits:
* New 3-D Displays: Experience 3-D without wearing glasses
* iPointPresenter: Touchless gesture controll
Connecting the different areas of competence creates a great variety of novel approaches and solutions with significant economic transfer potential. There will be enough time to discuss the requirements and needs from the medical perspective.
