Holographic Healthcare Training Now Available for Med Schools

Holograms, the representation of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, were invented by Hungarian-British electrical engineer and physicist Dennis Gabor in 1947 while working on an electron microscope. However, optical holography did not advance until the invention of the laser in 1960. Gabor received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 “for his invention and development of the holographic method.” Since then, holographic technology has evolved and today is used across several industries, including education.

Virtual Labs Core to Blended Learning Environment

A virtual or simulated lab is part of the experience of incorporating a virtual learning environment (VLE) into today’s blended learning, a core component of Education 3.0. A simulated lab is particularly necessary as a tool for teaching courses in Life Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. A virtual lab is, indeed, a safe way where students can run experiments, blow up the lab, and learn something out of it that will prevent them from accidentally doing the same in the real world. Contrary to

Augmented Reality: Mobile AR Applications

Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) is AR that goes with you wherever you go with your smartphone. Augmented Reality technology --also known as spacial computing-- has been around for some decades already. However, AR technology has only been considered an emerging technology and included on technology trends lists during the past few years. Yet, the first AR technology was developed at Harvard University back in 1968, when electrical engineer, computer scientist, and pioneer of computer graphics Iv
