VALHALLA, N.Y., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Alan Kadish, M.D., President of New York Medical College (NYMC) and Touro College and University System (TCUS),
announced that NYMC has been granted a new patent, #10,863,274, in
holographic Wi-Fi transmission. The newly granted patent will be
used in several areas of medical imaging, education and
telemedicine, as well as commercial applications in industrial
markets and the entertainment industry.
"This patent adds to our extensive portfolio of patents in the
area of holography, which will be one of the emerging technologies
of communication. Its adoption is even more important as the
world changes its behavior because of the worldwide COVID-19
pandemic," says Dr. Kadish. "Adding to the strength of our
portfolio in this area is the adoption of 5G wireless network
technology. It will allow our Wi-Fi transmissions for
holograms to stream on a broader scale and at a lower cost
therefore making it available in the mainstream market."
Lisa Pamintuan, Director of
Technology Business Development, Touro
College and University System, added, "People who see
holograms today are struck by the seamless blend of virtual and
augmented images with reality itself."
The holograms as seen in venues, which have fascinated viewers
around the world, can now be controlled by a device as simple as a
smartphone using the high data transmission enabled by 5G wireless
technology systems. "The public has seen examples of holograms in
concerts and in arenas but the day to day use in home
entertainment, telemedicine and education can now be unleashed and
will change communications in all aspects of daily life," says
Pamintuan.
