Augmented reality, or the ability to superimpose computer generated images over real visual environment, is still an exciting new field looking for useful applications. Case in point is an example of combining ultrasound with augmented reality technology to produce something that we’re not sure is actually useful. Victor Skobov, a student and computer tinkerer, got a hold of an old ultrasound machine and managed to convert its output into an augmented reality overlay that displays what the machine is seeing next to the transducer. Here’s Victor showing off the interesting capability while you think of what to do with it:
