The Creators Update hits October 17.Īlso on October 17, something exciting for both fans of mixed reality and Halo is happening. Obviously, this means you can’t be a Windows 7 or 8.1 holdover but you’ll have to fully commit to Windows 10. Mixed reality will be available on all Windows PCs beginning with the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Several developers have announced headsets for the software giant including Samsung, Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo, to name a few.

HALO provides everything one needs for quantification of IHC for clinical and pre-clinical studies (of course with supervision of a pathologist).Microsoft held a conference today introducing the world to Windows Mixed Reality. normal tissue, as well as tumor epithelium vs. Within 20 minutes I was able to set up AI detection of tumor vs. In addition the HALO AI module is extremely easy to use. HALO is a must have for any pathologist or scientist involved in quantifying immunohistochemical stains. The customer support is AMAZING and I routinely get same day or next day help from the technical support reps. This even allows for remote use when working off site. The workflow is simple, with sacanned images being imported directly into HALO with or without annotations for analysis. Literally within 10-15 minutes of "tuning" one of their "out of the box" detection algorithms, I can perform image analysis for most simple immunohistochemical markers. Indica Labs' HALO is by far the most accurate, versatile and user friendly digital image analysis platform that I have used. "As a Pathologist specializing in digital image analysis, I have had the opportunity to use several different digital image analysis platforms. They have the experience (and courage) to tell us if the staining is just not suitable or a more complex classifier is required."įor the Pathologist HALO is by far the best digital image analysis platform available The team at Indica Labs are quick to respond when we have a challenging analysis project - they will WebEx in and help optimize the parameters. Most users run a batch analysis overnight and collect and review their results in the morning. Halo is very easy to get up and running - within a 2 hour session we can get a new user started with their own classification and cell counting application. But now we have over 50 users per month working on Halo and the other platforms have been virtually shut down. For whole-slide analysis, we formerly used Genie (from Aperio), and InForm (from Perkin Elmer), and we have collaborators using Definiens (no longer available) and Visiopharm. We have a large core facility, scanning over 15,000 brightfield and 2,000 fluorescence slides per year (plus many confocal microscopes, etc.). "Halo is simply the best whole-slide analysis software available. Halo is the simply the best whole-slide analysis software available.
