This podcast discusses a study that used the Web of Science to examine the increasing use of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) in medical education. The study explores the growth of research in each of these technologies, focusing on their applications in various medical fields and the specific competencies they are used to train. The authors find that VR research has grown significantly since the 1990s, driven by computing power and display technology advancements. On the other hand, research in AR has seen a rise since the advent of smartphones in 2008, which provide the necessary hardware for AR applications. The study also highlights the potential strengths of each technology for specific medical training scenarios, such as the use of VR for communication skills training and AR for practicing procedures like lumbar punctures.

This week we have the really mundane reason for Monday’s massive AWS outage. Closer to home, an AI-generated deepfake video showed an Irish election candidate withdrawing from the race, complete with a convincing fake Sharon Ní Bheoláin presenting it on RTÉ News. The question everyone’s asking: who made it, and how do we stop this becoming the new normal? Plus, we’ll look at why your driving licence is going digital by 2030.

Grace Dinan from JunieXR on live extended reality

I am originally from Belgium, where I had the privilege of growing up to the iconic sounds of the best DJs of the 90s. From an early age, techno music was a constant in my life, following me everywhere, whether in the electrifying atmosphere of clubs or through headphones during more personal moments. Mixing has always been a personal passion for me, an art that I practiced in solitude. Today, after a significant break, I feel a deep desire to share this passion with the world. I am ready to dive back into the world of mixing and convey the unique energy and emotion of techno music that has so profoundly marked me.

Je suis originaire de Belgique, où j'ai eu le privilège de grandir au rythme des sons emblématiques des meilleurs DJ des années 90. Dès mon plus jeune âge, la musique techno a été une constante dans ma vie, me suivant partout, que ce soit dans l'ambiance survoltée des clubs ou à travers les écouteurs lors de moments plus intimes. Mixer a toujours été pour moi une passion personnelle, un art que je pratiquais en solitaire. Aujourd'hui, après une pause significative, je ressens l'envie profonde de partager cette passion avec le monde. Je suis prêt à replonger dans l'univers du mixage et à transmettre l'énergie et l'émotion uniques de la musique techno qui m'ont tant marqué.
