MARSS 2024 Suzhou: A Convergence of Talent, Realtimes Showcases AR Medical Innovation

The Medical Augmented Reality Summer School (MARSS) of 2024, a leading global academic conference, will be held from September 1 to 7 in Suzhou. This scholarly exchange is hosted by top institutions such as the MIRACLE center of the University of Science and Technology of China Suzhou Institute, CAMP of Technical University of Munich, IMR of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and CAIR of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hong Kong. It has attracted over 60 top international experts in the medical AR field, doctors, scholars, and industry leaders from countries including Germany, Switzerland, France, the United States, Australia, Japan, and China to discuss the future and development of medical augmented reality technology.

As an international high-level academic event, MARSS not only showcases the latest technological achievements but also provides a platform for interactive exchanges and comprehensive cooperation, aimed at promoting the innovation and practical application of global medical augmented reality technology. To achieve this goal, the conference specially invited many internationally renowned experts, including Professor Nassir Navab, a pioneer in AR surgical navigation, Professor Ken Masamune who focuses on robot-assisted medical AR technology, and Professor Pheng Ann Heng who is dedicated to integrating deep learning with AR to improve medical diagnostics and treatments.

During the academic activities, participants will delve into how augmented reality technology can revolutionize modern medicine, improve surgical precision, and enhance patient safety through keynote speeches, seminars, and a hackathon. Additionally, there are special discussion sessions to foster exchanges and future collaborations with international peers. The hackathon is a highlight, where participants will develop practical AR solutions for real medical issues under the guidance of experts through team collaboration and rapid iteration.

Realtimes sponsored this seminar and delivered a keynote speech, providing support for the seven-day hackathon with their AR imaging processing smart platform. The RTSS-B205 smart platform, equipped with the Holoscan platform, boasts exceptional imaging capabilities and a rich interface configuration, making it highly suitable for various medical imaging fields. For instance, in AR/VR medical imaging analysis, the device can process complex image data and provide real-time, high-precision outputs, thus assisting medical professionals in diagnostics and treatment planning. Additionally, its robust AI computing capabilities make it an ideal choice for executing large model AI inferences, effectively supporting a wide range of AI applications from voice recognition to complex image processing.

Moreover, the RTSS-B205 also performs exceptionally in the robotics field. With its fast processing performance and rapid data transmission capabilities, the device can process input data from multiple sensors in real-time, ensuring that robots can make quick and accurate decisions. This is especially crucial for autonomous driving systems that operate in uncertain and dynamic environments. Despite its compact size and light weight, it possesses a powerful processing capability of up to 275 TOPS and supports dual independent gigabit ethernet, along with M.2 Key M and Key E interfaces and Mini PCIe expansion functionality, supporting multi-channel video input with an adapter board, further enhancing its flexibility and applicability.

Overall, the high performance and stability of the RTSS-B205 make it an ideal choice for supporting complex and demanding application scenarios. Whether in the medical, AI, or automation fields, this device provides the necessary technical support to meet the challenges of modern high-tech applications.
