Scientists succeed in implementing the world's first 3D teleportation
A group of researchers from the University of Western Ontario in Britain succeeded in implementing the world's first international 3D teleportation, through a technology called Hollowport.
Holoport technology is a combination of holograms and teleportation, in which a three-dimensional image of a person or thing is instantly transmitted to another remote location.
To implement this technology, several companies collaborated together, with the major technology company Microsoft working on "HoloLens", while the company Aexa Aerospace provided the software that enables a special camera to create 3D images of the object and its environment, which can be seen using the "HoloLens".
This new technology enables users wearing HoloLens to interact in their environment as if they were physically present in the same room.
“We moved someone from Ontario to Alabama to London, and then every student here on the project was able to instantly transport themselves in 3D to Huntsville, Alabama,” said Adam Serik, faculty member at Western Space.
Now researchers at Western, in collaboration with a Canadian company, are working on the medical applications of this technology. The team, which is largely made up of future medical students, is keen to use this technology to facilitate medical examinations in remote areas, and they believe this could change a lot in healthcare in rural areas.
However, the current obstacle is that while making a diagnosis, doctors rely on a wide range of criteria, such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, etc., as physical touch is a large part of the medical examination, so the research team is keen to incorporate touch technology that allows the transmission of information And understand them using touch in their future project.
In addition to medical care, new technology could also help improve virtual meetings, where 3D presence could one day become the norm. “Wouldn’t it be nice if you were on the space station for 3 months, and you could go down and sit in the room at home for a family dinner,” Ceric said in a press release.
