This summer, our Cystic Fibrosis-CRISPR mixed reality project for the Microsoft HoloLens was featured in DU Magazin.
DU – Zeitschrift der Kultur (“You – magazine of culture”) is a German-language print magazine that has been running since 1942 in Switzerland, and features Carl Jung as a past contributor. The May-June issue this year focused on digital health and we’re thrilled the editors asked to include our MR project in the magazine.
This HoloLens experience educates users on CRISPR/Cas9 targeted genome editing and its promise for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Setting the story within a body affected by cystic fibrosis allowed us to visualize the science over a wide-ranging scale. From the exterior of the human body down to the molecular level, each chapter on the journey educated the user through animated holograms paired with narration.
The HoloLens mixed reality platform is a powerful tool for medical education and training that provides accelerated learning through increased engagement and retention.
Learn more about how mixed reality can communicate complex biomedical science in our post, In Your Field-of-View: the HoloLens 2.
