Summary:
«What happens when technology becomes more advanced than the technologist? Christopher Lafayette, founder of Gatherverse.org, posed the question at the end of his keynote address at the current IME West show in Anaheim, CA, stating that technology has caught up to the same intelligence level as the people creating it.»
«In his presentation, “Medical Technology within the Metaverse – The Fundamental Shift,” he discussed the current and future state of immersive medtech in the metaverse and what it means for vendors, technologists, and medical practitioners. The metaverse generally refers to the concept of a highly immersive virtual world where people gather to socialize, play, or work. In Lafayette’s opinion, however, the concept means so much more, and gained major awareness during the pandemic because of increased virtual use, telemedicine, demand for personal protection equipment, changes in hospital operations, diagnostic technologies like PCR and antigen tests, and investment in medtech.»
