Vancouver Garage Interns help BC Cancer Foundation research cancer by using holograms
BC Cancer Foundation and Garage interns at Microsoft in Vancouver teamed up to create a mixed reality solution using HoloLens to visualize tumors at single-cell resolution for cancer research. The Holographic Cancer Cell Visualizer is an interactive prototype that allows scientists to study in 3D holograms the make-up of tumor cells and spatial relationships between cell types, something that has....
Mobile Chest X-Ray Analysis uses machine learning models to demonstrate how smart medical apps can be created
In today’s ever-growing society, there are areas of the world where resources are thin and not as readily available to those who need them most. With the help of artificial intelligence technologies, resources and knowledge can be distributed and accessed in novel ways.

As I walked into the Microsoft Garage at the New England Research and Development Center (NERD) 12 weeks ago, I had no idea I would leave with a boatload of new skills, work on a team to....
Mixed Reality gives neuroanatomy lessons a boost
With its unique hemispheres and intricate connections, the brain is one of the most exceptional, yet complex organs in the human body. The intricate structure has posed a unique challenge for generations of students looking to understand and ultimately master how its many parts fit, and work, together. But this fall — thanks to Microsoft HoloLens and mixed reality technology—....
