I often drive by this property in Kamloops and wonder what it could be.

I imagine North Kamloops would have some serious interest from some AAA restaurants or retail to set up shop at this location.

[George Chow @GeorgeChowBC]

This project looks at how a sonographer or radiologist could remotely guide someone to perform an ultrasound, using a mixed-reality headset and tactile inputs to follow along.

I was excited to learn more about this tech and its potential from the research team at UBC:
