This is valuable design tool for many different industries. In my experience, MANY program managers simply could not read a drawing, and when shown drawings would approve a design and then complain about it when it actually showed up as hardware.
Getting them on the same page before parts are built is a huge advantage.

The post mentioned other healthcare use cases, including one called VimedixAR, which creates ultrasound simulations to learn safer ways of conducting the procedure.

Of course, some of the most obvious use cases are actually visualizing ultrasound and MRI data, in 3D.

In fact, with a tracked ultrasound wand, you could put on a Hololens and see the baby right inside the mother. Within the limits of ultrasound's accuracy, obviously.
