3D Everywhere: 2019 Web3D Conference to Address Innovations in Medicine, Graphics, Access

This year’s 24th Annual Web3D Conference will bring together experts from the fields of medicine, imaging, computer graphics, and health informatics to discuss the critical importance of 3D data and visualization in healthcare: from patient and provider education, to diagnosis, therapy, collaborative care, and medical decision-making. 

In this era of great transformation, there is also great opportunity. This year’s Program includes a Medical Web3D Workshop and Keynotes from two renowned researchers. Dr. Arno Harholt of ICT will present “Virtual Humans for the Web and Beyond” and Dr. Ed Hammond of Duke and HL7 will present “Toto, I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore. The world has changed”. 

Attend Web3D 2019 to connect and contribute to the new ecosystem of Medical Web3D for education & consent, diagnosis, simulation, therapy, and 3D printing! With the requirements of a Lifetime of 3D, durability and interoperability of information is at a premium in healthcare. Discover how ISO-IEC International Standards for 3D Graphics on the Web, can help you share your interactive 3D data between any source and delivery platform. 

Web3D 2019 will be held July 26-28 at the Hotel Indigo, Downtown Los Angeles. The Web3D Conference is sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and organized In Cooperation with The Web3D Consortium and EuroGraphics. Corporate Sponsors are The Khronos Group and 3DMD.com.
