A new mixed reality technology (which mixes the interactivity of virtual reality and the visual power of augmented reality), will allow medical students to practice diagnoses and treatments with patients made with holograms.
This innovative method promises to improve the experience of human patients who, although they are not in the real world, are in the virtual one. Students will be able to treat their patients using technology that mimics medical situations and they will have to make decisions in real time regarding the treatment, according to their creators.
