Doctors are "holographically transmitted" to the International Space Station
Doctors are "holographically transmitted" to the International Space Station, with "holographic transmission" technology, the problem of time delay is solved. With holographic teleportation, the problem of latency is solved, and the "holographic teleporter" can stay directly on the space station for real-time communication and treatment. A doctor is "holographically transported" to the ISS.
Doctor 'holographically transported' to ISS1Last October, NASA used "holographic teleportation" to bring flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid to the ISS while the doctor himself was still on Earth, CNET reported. himself was still on Earth.
This was reportedly the first time that this virtual technology had been brought beyond Earth, with a high-quality 3D model of the doctor himself digitally compressed, transferred, and reconstructed between the two locations, all in real time.
Meanwhile, astronauts on the ISS wore Microsoft HoloLens and interacted with the doctor as if they were in the same physical space.
NASA said in a statement, "We'll be using it for our private medical meetings, private psychiatry meetings, private family meetings, and bringing VIPs to the ISS to visit with the astronauts."
Learning that NASA intends to expand its system by adding augmented reality (AR) capabilities, where holographically teleported people can literally move around the space station and look at things as if they were actually there, could help with extraterrestrial telemedicine for astronauts, the ISS construction project, and even benefit future deep space exploration.
Doctors are "holographically transported" to the ISS2Aerospace is a cutting-edge, future-focused technology that often leads to new and emerging applications in many technology industries. In the case of healthcare, telemedicine is the most direct way to ensure the health of astronauts. According to CNET, NASA has successfully used "holographic teleportation" to send flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid to the International Space Station while the doctor himself was still on Earth.
"Holographic teleportation" helps astronauts with telemedicine
On the space station, the most likely medical problems for astronauts are physical injuries like bumps, bruises, and cuts, and to a lesser extent, the effects of microgravity on the balance of astronauts' fluids. These problems are usually relayed to the ground through ultrasound examinations of the astronauts, and treatment recommendations are given by ground doctors.
This is because standard radio communications typically have a delay of up to 20 minutes when communicating with systems far out in the void. But with holographic teleportation, the problem of latency is solved, and the holographic teleporter can stay on the space station for real-time communications and treatment.
Although almost unbelievable, holographic teleportation is not a new technology. Microsoft came up with the idea a few years ago and has been steadily developing the concept ever since. Now NASA's latest effort takes the feat to new heights. NASA said in a statement that astronauts aboard the International Space Station are utilizing the holographic power of Microsoft HoloLens to provide medical care to astronauts in outer space, interacting with each other and doctors.
NASA is demonstrating this new form of communication as a precursor to its wider use in future missions. In the future, as humans travel farther and farther away from Earth, the demand for telemedicine will be even greater, and NASA also intends to expand its system by adding augmented reality (AR) capabilities, where holographically teleported people can literally move around the space station and observe things, providing telemedicine for astronauts, ISS construction projects, and even facilitating future deep space exploration.
Rapid construction of 5G boosts the arrival of holographic communications
In recent years, with the arrival of 5G commercial, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, AR/VR, holographic multimedia, and other new network technologies are gradually becoming a reality, and holographic communications are also beginning to be valued by many scientific research institutions and high-tech enterprises.
As a new type of communication, holographic communication needs to be realized through a combination of various technologies. Users talk in front of a special camera with a lens and a microphone, and the lens converts the user into a digital image for network transmission, while on the receiver's end, a holographic projector projects the image on the screen, thus realizing the presentation of the 3D image.
In the process of realizing the holographic call, it requires the close cooperation of a variety of technologies such as 5G high-speed transmission technology, AR/VR, and 3D projection. Among them, 5G transmission technology will play a crucial role. It is because 5G has excellent characteristics such as high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability that scientists have the courage to imagine the realistic feasibility of holographic calls.
For example, the United States has used 5G technology to complete the world's first holographic phone call. A holographic meeting was successfully completed, mainly through 5G transmission technology in conjunction with a special projector, which was a highly symbolic event in the field of holographic communication.
Weimax holographic 5G multi-scene application construction
At present, the world is vigorously promoting the construction of 5G, to seize the first opportunity. In China, through the holographic technology to realize this "holographic transmission" of the representative enterprises have micro-US holography (WIMI.US). It is reported that WIMI holography, as a holographic communication technology leader, relying on its own 5G technology, AI, AR/VR, edge computing, etc., has explored a series of multi-scenario applications in many fields. Previously the enterprise won the bidding of China Mobile and the media cloud platform phase II holographic remote interactive project, strengthen the close cooperation with China Mobile and other industry partners, help holographic communication application vertical field.
As a 5G holographic communication ` head company, Weimei holography independent research and development and investment in the 5G core field, 5G, AR/VR, holographic communication and other technologies into the success of the winning project, to promote the 5G holographic communication business applications and practice. In addition, Weimei holography to create 5G + holographic industry chain across a wide range of surfaces, the use of comprehensive cutting-edge digital technology, can greatly promote the development of the digital economy and the real economy in-depth integration, contains a huge development potential.
Specifically, Weimei Holography's 5G+TOB holographic applications enable information to break through space and time constraints, and its high speed and low latency features can meet the network requirements of typical applications such as AR/VR and ultra-high definition video, providing users with excellent human-computer interaction experiences. For example, 5G holographic conference, telecommuting and other applications can improve work efficiency and enhance multi-location collaboration; 5G+ cloud performance, 4K/8K live interaction and other applications to provide a more immersive and richer entertainment; 5G+ AR/VR live shopping, smart home and other applications to provide a more convenient and diverse way of life.
What's more, Weimei holography relies on the high bandwidth, low latency, and real characteristics of holographic projection of the 5G network, and the 5G holographic classroom across space and time came into being. Based on 5G + holographic technology, through the superposition of holographic and virtual projection technology, the teacher's classroom is just like a lively virtual classroom, breaking the traditional way of education, so that the students as if they were in the scene in general, and the famous school senior apprentice barrier-free, no delay communication and interaction and so on.
Industry **** knowledge, with the 5G holographic communication network bandwidth conditions change, a big push to enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Weimei holographic plan 5G + AI face recognition technology and holographic AI face for face technology core technology, with a number of technological innovations in the system to support holographic technology services and 5G communication holographic applications to obtain effective growth.
It is not difficult to surmise that Weimei holography has explored holographic technology over the years, and has helped to enhance the application value of holographic technology by applying it to scientific, digital and virtualized applications in multiple fields. And promote the application of the application to promote the development, promote a number of major categories of application scenarios rise, laying a good holographic panorama of the whole society.
In summary, the high-speed development of 5G communication technology has laid the cornerstone for the unfolding of more applications. In particular, 5G paves the way for holographic communication. Along with the arrival of the 5G era, holographic communication is gradually showing signs of being realizable.
Although the current level of holographic communication is still a bit far from the ideal effect, the technological breakthroughs in this direction have brought confidence to all consumers to look into the future. I believe that in the first year of 5G large-scale commercialization, the industry will have more scenarios of application development in 2022. In the future, holographic communication technology will make a big difference.
Doctors "holographically transported" to the International Space Station3In October 2021, Dr. Josef Schmid, NASA's flight surgeon, industry partner Fernando De La Pena laca, CEO of AEXA Aerospace, and members of their team were among the first to be transported from the International Space Station to the International Space Station. team members, became the first humans to be 'holographically transported' from Earth to space.
"It's a whole new way of communicating with humans over long distances," Schmid said.
How is holographic teleportation possible?
This time, NASA used equipment: Microsoft's Hololens Kinect camera, and a PC with customized software from Aexa Aerospace.
In fact, the Microsoft HoloLens headset has been developed for a long time, but it's the first time it's been used in an extreme remote environment like space.
Kinect is a series of motion-sensing input devices manufactured by Microsoft, containing RGB cameras, infrared projectors, and detectors that allow for real-time gesture recognition, body bone detection, voice recognition, voice control, and more.
And Aexa is a provider of customized software for mixed reality for the aerospace, medical, and petroleum industries.
"Holographic teleportation" is a capture technology that reconstructs, compresses, and transmits high-quality 3D models of the human body in real time, said Surgeon General Schmid.
The Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headset allows for the transmission of 3D scenarios that allow users to see, hear, and interact with remote participants as if they were actually in the same physical space.
In this way, surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid and others were 'holographically transported' to the ISS. As a result, surgeon Josef Schmid on the ground and European astronaut Thomas Pesquet on the space station, realized the first real-time 3D image conversation.
Now, our human entities can 'travel' away from Earth, and although our physical bodies are not there, our humanness feels like it is.
More applications
Why would ground crews want to 'holographically teleport' with astronauts?
You'd think that astronauts who get to go to space would be considered 'national treasures', with only a handful of people qualified.
However, when astronauts are flying for so long, what else can they do if they get sick?
It's important to realize that when they go into space, they don't take a personal doctor with them.
It is in this context that 3D telemedicine, which connects the ground to space, was born.
This time, in October 2021, 'holographic teleportation' from Earth to space allowed medical professionals to have their first consultations with astronauts.
Holographic lensing for healthcare, with images not related to the news
With NASA currently demonstrating this new form of communication, 'holographic teleportation' could have wider applications in the future.
The next step in NASA's plan is two-way communication, in addition to people on Earth being 'holographically teleported' into space, but also for astronauts to be 'holographically teleported' back to Earth.
Moreover, 'holographic teleportation' will be combined with augmented reality to truly enable remote guidance.
With the system in place, we'll not only be 'wandering' outside of Earth, we'll be 'living' on the space station.
Additionally, 'holographic teleportation' could have a significant impact on the future of deep space travel.
As the Mars program advances, the communication delays that exist to and from Mars are a hurdle to overcome.
So with 'holographic teleportation', isn't that improved.
NASA says that 'astronauts need to be in touch with Earth, mission control, wherever humans are exploring'.
Therefore, transmission technology is critical for future space missions.
