A Hacker Made This Augmented Reality Ultrasound With 80s Tech

“I thought that it wouldn’t be that hard [to make an AR ultrasound], that there wouldn’t be much coding involved,” said Skobov, who converted the video signal from the ultrasound machine in Unity Engine, before projecting that image in augmented reality from the physical machine’s prode.

Skobov envisions that this kind of contraption, if taken up commercially, could be used by medical staff as an enhanced monitoring system. “Maybe it could be some kind of patch that could always be on the patient, and doctors could take a look at it to know what is going on,” he said.
