Image: Left: Overview of the ARM. A digital camera captures the same field of view (FoV) as the user and passes the image to an attached compute unit capable of running real-time inference of a machine-learning model. The results are fed back into a custom AR display, which is inline with the ocular lens and projects the model output on the same plane as the slide. Right: A picture of the prototype, which has been retrofitted into a typical clinical-grade light microscope (Photo courtesy of Google).

Google Builds AR Microscope for Cancer Detection

A team of researchers at Google LLC has developed a prototype Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM) platform that could help accelerate and democratize the adoption of deep learning tools for pathologists around the world. The platform comprises a modified light microscope that allows for real-time image analysis and presentation of the results of machine learning algorithms directly into the field of view. The ARM can be retrofitted into existing light microscopes in hospitals and clinics using low-cost, readily available components, and without the need for analyzing whole slide digital versions of the tissue.
