i’m going to be at the nextmed MMVR (medicine meets virtual reality) conference next week in long beach, california, if anyone wants to stop by and say hello. come down to the hyatt regency, i’m sure it’s lovely. i’ve been asked to put up an exhibit of prints from my book, my heart vs. the real world. at first i was expecting to have to make framed prints, but it seems they have the exhibit area (called “the well”) set up in a way where we each get a 6 by 8 foot bulletin board and prints will be tacked up with thumbtacks. since it’s a bulletin board i figured i might as well treat it as a bulletin board and scatter things around somewhat organically. above is my clumsy photoshopped mockup for that display. click on it to see it bigger.

here’s a description of the conference, from their site:

MMVR is the premier conference on emerging data-centered technologies for medical care and education. It brings together an interdisciplinary, vanguard community of computer scientists and engineers, physicians and surgeons, medical educators and students, military medicine specialists, and biomedical futurists.

MMVR presentations offer a critical review of current progress: from initial vision and prototypes, through assessment and validation, to clinical and academic utilization and commercialization. Extrapolating from the state of the art, MMVR examines and guides the future of healthcare.

This year’s MMVR will feature expanded spontaneous interactive environments. The Well will merge formal exhibits with casual demonstrations. Salon will mingle the visual arts, science, and medicine.

At MMVR, developers and end users collaborate to design the next in medicine. MMVR turns vision into proficy™.
