Resumen de The real you, laid bare
The "digital mirror" is a 3D installation that recreates what one's body might look like on the inside. In an experiment, Xavier Maitre, a medical imaging researcher at the University of Paris-South, and colleagues left 30 participants alone with the mirror for several minutes to gauge their reactions. In this instance, people were shown pre-recorded data of other individuals of the same sex. The team found that about one-third of people felt uncomfortable in front of the mirror and reluctant to let others see. Maitre and his collaborators built the digital minor to explore philosophical questions about how people relate to their body. But in the future, they say they could imagine doctors using a similar system to help people explore a particular part of their body or prepare for an upcoming operation
