At Microsoft's developers' conference in San Francisco last year, a proof of concept to use HoloLens, the world's first and only untethered holographic computer,to advance medical education, was presented to the audience. Alex Kimpan, Technical Fellow, Windows and Devices Group, Microsoft, announced at this year's conference that the concept has moved into production.

The school piloting the use of holographic computing in medical education is Case Western Reserve University,a private research university in Cleveland, Ohio."At Case Western Reserve, our model is to think beyond the possible and today we and the Cleveland Clinic (a non-profit academic medical center in Cleveland) are constructing a state of the future health education campus. Within this building, our students will learn using the most forward-looking educational programs. HoloLens is a key part of this," said Dr. Pamela B. Davis, Dean, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University.

By using holograms to learn in detail and in an interactive way, for example, the nervous system or the intricate parts of the brain, the school hopes to change what it means to be in class."Anatomy is about mastering complex systems in the body and you can see from the digestive system that there are a lot of small parts in a small space. And students need to understand not only to have these parts fit together, to have it work together. And with HoloLens it becomes easier to get the feel of things," Dr. Davis said.

Microsoft first introduced the HoloLens at a Windows 10 event in January 2015, a sneak peek into a world with holograms. It said it envisions the holographic computer to enable people to "visualize their work, new ways to share ideas with each other, more immersive ways to play, new ways to teach and learn, new ways to collaborate and places we've never been, and new ways to create the things we imagine."
