Researches at the University of Tokyo are displaying a brand new technology that will prove very useful to the medical field. The Volume Slicing Display allows a doctor to look at full head and body scans with the help of a normal piece of Plexiglas and a projector. The doctor holds the plastic sheet above the projector and it will display the image onto the sheet. To make this technology unique, the projector can detect exactly how the sheet is held and will alter the sliced image accordingly. This means that if the doctor tilts, bends, raises, or lowers the sheet, they will see a completely new image with every movement. Not only does this allow the doctor to see and part of the body instantly, but it also eliminates the need for expensive and numerous print outs. Instead each patient will have a sheet of Plexiglass with a barcode on it that will only display that patient’s information. The researches are currently displaying the technology at SIGGRAPH2009 in Asia.
