The BBC Two show Your Body Uncovered with Kate Garraway<\/em> shows how future technology could blend with medical appointments, but how close are we to using augmented reality (AR) in our hospitals?<\/p>\n In the show, doctors and radiologists work together with digital artists to create 3D representations of patients\u2019 bodies. Then, the patient wears a Microsoft HoloLens<\/a> to view their limbs and organs, while their doctor explains exactly why and how their condition is affecting them.<\/p>\n You might be more familiar with the use of AR in apps like Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, where digital versions of the Pok\u00e9mon characters are placed in your real world via your smartphone camera. And while both augmented and virtual reality are growing parts of the metaverse<\/a>, we haven\u2019t seen innovative uses of AR brought to our televisions, until now.<\/p>\n
