Using VR to meet your unborn child

This is pretty badass, I must say:
Of all the potential use-cases for VR, Samuli Cantell has arguably come up with the most unusual after persuading his pregnant girlfriend to undergo 4D ultrasound scanning of their unborn child in order to generate a 3D model that could be viewed in VR.

And while he concedes there was no substitute for meeting baby Freja in real life, i.e. when she was actually born, he says he found the experience of viewing a 3D model of her in VR “very emotional and calming, yet unreal“.

Now that would be a potentially embarrassing photo for mum to pull out when she brings home her first boyfriend/girlfriend/transgender.  (in no particular order)  🙂

If that is supposed to be a VR 3D model of a little baby girl... why does it have such a big penis ?

In another 20 years VR will be so advanced babies will be educated while in the womb and have the ability look at their parent before deciding whether to sign pre adoption orders.


This reminds me of this study
http://www.theonion.com/article/study-finds-newborn-infants-can-tell-if-parents-ar-27698

"From the moment they open their eyes, newborns can tell if their mother
had no other options and was forced to settle for their father, or if
their father is a sad sack who has no friends and gets drunk on a single
glass of chardonnay,"

"In fact, we've determined that as early as the second trimester, a
fetus picks up on the income and social standing of its mother via the
umbilical cord." The study also concluded that the screams of newborns
stem from the sudden realization they will be stuck with their loser
parents for at least 18 years."
