Head Mounted Displays

Researchers at the University Teknologi Petronas, Malaysia, are developing a Smart Veins Locator, that will allow them to see a patient's veins through their skin, regardless of their skin color.

Sony's new "head-mount image processing unit" gives surgeons virtual X-ray vision by means of an endoscope feeding images to a pair of head-mounted monitors. This setup allows surgeons to view high definition 3D images from inside the patient while carrying out laparoscopic surgery.
