Mixed

Reality Classroom

https://techtrends.tech/tech-trends/the-mixed-reality-classroom/

Microsoft has created an ‘Immersive

Classroom’ that teaches students about all sorts of emerging and

exponential technologies such as VR/AR, AI and 3D Printing. it

incorporates Paint 3D, HoloLens and other Mixed Reality headsets, and

3D printing. Other activities also explore coding and robotics using

tools such as Minecraft and Artificial intelligence, where students

get to build their own chatbot.

The immersive classroom is open for

schools to experiment with incorporating digital tools in learning,

and has facilitated the delivery of more than 60 free workshops for

over 1000 students since opening in 2018

and virtual reality can determine neurosurgeon expertise with 90 per

Machine learning-guided virtual reality

simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before

they step in the operating room, according to a recent study.

Research from the Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial

Intelligence Learning Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute

and Hospital (The Neuro) and McGill University shows that machine

learning algorithms can accurately assess the capabilities of

neurosurgeons during virtual surgery, demonstrating that virtual

reality simulators using artificial intelligence can be powerful

tools in surgeon training.

This research, published in the Journal

of the American Medical Association on Aug. 2, 2019, shows that the

fusion of AI and VR neurosurgical simulators can accurately and

efficiently assess the performance of surgeon trainees. This means

that AI-assisted mentoring systems can be developed that focus on

improving patient safety by guiding trainees through complex surgical

procedures. These systems can determine areas that need improvement

and how the trainee can develop these important skills before

surgeons operate on real patients.

Walmart

& Lego offer a new Web-based AR Experience

https://www.walmart.com/lego

Jon Cheney, CEO of Seek, an eCommerce

company specializing in AR, showed off an ever-so-cool AR application

that Walmart uses in its Lego kiosks—sending clearly intrigued

eTail participants to their phones to view the demo. How it works:

Capture the QR code displayed on a Lego kit using your cellphone’s

camera, then aim your phone down at the floor to see how the

completed project will look and work. Cheney says 1,700 Walmart

stores are using the application.

In addition, you can now use this on

any smart phone directly from the website. Try it yourself at
