An overview of 3D video transmission and display technologies for telemedicine applications.
Digital 3D visualization provides a fundamental platform to render both the real world and computer generated objects in a highly comprehensive form. It has a number of significant applications in telemedicine, such as telesurgery, patient monitoring and remote surgeon training. Towards utilizing the 3D visualization technologies for these applications, we present an overview of state-of-the-art 3D display devices and discuss related data transmission technologies to support the remote 3D display.
