VIRTUAL-REALITY BASED 3D TELEMEDICINE FOR TROPICAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITIES (Old ID 23115)

Principal Investigator

Virtual-reality (VR) technology has recently inspired the creativity of the public. Meanwhile, recent advances in light-field (LF) photography open a new horizon for digital video streaming, where LF capture and glasses-free 3D display capabilities are perfect for a wide range of 3D interactive applications. As such, this proposal aims to propose an immersive VR-based 3D telemedicine system for distance healthcare through providing more accessible and affordable healthcare to tropical population. Building upon cutting-edge 3D image sensing technology, this project will help bridge the gap between metropolitan cities and tropical and regional communities in access to and quality of healthcare services.
