Epson App Challenge Telepresence HD - 医療現場でBT-200sが採用されると....

As for HMD made efficient, the introduction into the medical treatment site is begun, too. Both hands cannot be used while operating. The advantage in which patient's information necessary for the operation and additionally necessary information can be immediately seen then and there in the state is large. Such use will increase rapidly in these several years though it is still thought that it is a verification stage. 

高性能化したHMDは、医療現場への導入も開始されている。両手がふさがっている状態で手術に必要な患者の情報やその他必要な情報を、その場で直ぐに見ることができるメリットは大きい。まだまだ検証段階だと思うが、このような利用方法はこの数年で急激に増加するであろう。







inSight Augmented Medicine presents “Telepresence,” a Moverio application that allows medical experts to provide first-person guidance and instructions to individuals at off-site locations. Expert medical care is often unavailable at remote “field locations” such as a ship out at sea, an off-shore oil rig, or a research base in Antarctica. Telepresence can bring expert medical support from a “home-base” clinic directly to the field. However, Telepresence is much more than just a video conferencing tool. It enables experts to view and direct medical procedures as if they were actually there.

Using the camera from the Epson Moverio BT-200s, Telepresence transmits a live video stream of the action out in the field onto a tablet operated by the expert at home-base. This provides medical experts a first-person view of the situation in the field, and they can then draw with their finger on the surface of the tablet. Their drawings, instructions or text are then transmitted back across the network to the field where the wearer of the Moverios sees the drawings appear in the transparent lenses of the glasses.

Our principal focus for this application has been its potential uses in the medical space; however Telepresence could be a benefit to any industry where first-person instructions or guidance from a home-base location is needed out in the field.
