The virtual autopsy is one of the greatest advances in forensic medicine in the past hundred years. With the aid of three-dimensional X-ray techniques, virtual and bloodless autopsies are now being performed on suspected victims of crime. CMIV (the Centre for Medical Image Science and Visualisation) at Linköping University Hospital, NVIS (Norrköpings Visualisation and Interaction Studio) and the National Board of Forensic Medicine in Linköping are world leaders in the field of virtual autopsies. This project is part of the Swedish Visualisation research programme. Behind the programme are the Knowledge Foundation, the Foundation for Strategic Research, Vinnova, Vårdalstiftelsen (the Foundation for Health Care Sciences and Allergy Research) and the Invest in Sweden Agency. A total of SEK 85 million is being invested over five years.
Touch has a new research project “Immaterials: the ghost in the field” that is dealing with the invisible fields that pickup rfid tags. The clarity and level of professionalism in the documentation is truly wonderful. Be sure to keep an eye on this group. The Touch project is based at the Oslo School of Architecture & Design and funded by the Research Council of Norway. Please see below for a video and description from Touch. read more
There is nothing more exciting than to see a set of polished tools astronauts use in there pursuit to exploring the universe. The aesthetics of space technology have their own construct that may not be taught in design schools, but I am sure it has influenced more professions than we can count. I came across a recent set if photos taken by Michael Soluri, who is a New York City based photographer that had a rare opportunity to photograph a set of tools. The photographs were taken in a clean room, upon which his equipment had to be disassembled and chemically bathed before hand and had to wear a nylon-suit, with boots and latex gloves -as not to contaminate the tools. Please feel free to browse through his photos>>>
