Many projects for grades have become revelations in the past, and another in the same ranks is a PhD project from Jorge Lopes of the Royal College of Art design. The medical technology breakthrough leaps beyond the ultrasound images to give an expecting mother a life-size model of her unborn child in her lap. Being a mother holding a newborn child in the arms is an experience out of this world and seeing the unborn in the ultra-sound images, an experience beyond words – then what do you have to explain holding that unborn child replica?
The Brazilian using the rapid prototyping some freaking method he has worked out a way to convert ultrasound and MRI imagery into life size living embryos of the child. Is it art or far stretching science, perhaps difficult to guess, but in totality it is a creative development that looms unrealistic, but is very realistic.
The tech could help visually impaired mothers to feel their child before it is born, and develop even stronger bond like never before. The technology has potential for many other applications and like students from the RCA themselves – they are using this for new medical devices, car components, jewelry and architectural models.
