3D-Simulation des Head-up-Displays von Siemens VDO Automotive

Dienstag, 09.05.2006 Leistungsfähige Computer und Software können heute die Welt in verblüffender Detailgenauigkeit virtuell abbilden, wie die neue Ausgabe des Forschungsmagazins Pictures of the Future berichtet. Siemens unterhält ein Virtual Reality Labor in München, in dem etwa eine Fabrik für Elektromotoren in China vor der Verwirklichung in allen Einzelheiten unter die Lupe genommen wurde. Das Bild zeigt die 3D-Simulation des Head-up-Displays von Siemens VDO Automotive, das Informationen direkt ins Blickfeld eines Autofahrers auf die Windschutzscheibe einblendet.

Continuing the proof of concept, here I am at the records counter at the Ann Myers Medical Center and logged into an Electronic Medical Records / Clinical Information System from within the SL client. This time I've brought up a patient's record. I could see how this would further enhance medical simulation and training. Basically, hijacked the SL client's help window and logged into an Open Source medical software demo (ClearHealth.) More at my blog- john-norris.net Knoh Oh Second Life Healthcare Tourist

Surgery at Palomar West

Palomar Pomerado's plans for a new hospital, and with the help of Cisco, a simulation. Lots of near-future goodies like robotic surgery, MRI scanning robots, Internet access from your bed... Here's me having gall bladder surgery. Painless! The tour is a bit rough, be sure to get and wear your ID bracelet and take the elevator from the lobby. Wait for and follow the instructions. It's hard to do a free form feeling tour, much easier if you put everyone in a "doom-buggy," but this was as good a try as I have seen. The content was certainly professional. I'll be looking forward to see what is in store for the sim. Currently it is a nice glimpse into the future, but I'd also like to see what can be done to help/educate people now.
