Karger Publishers, a global provider of scientific and medical content, has joined forces with Ludenso, a leader in augmented reality (AR) technology, to give researchers and clinicians the ability to visualize journal article data with 3D and AR.
A pioneer in the field of medical research, Karger publishes more than 100 journals covering over 25 medical disciplines. Using Ludenso’s platform, Karger now provides a new service to its authors, adding a new dimension to how they present their data, engage with diverse audiences, and expand the reach of their research.
Authors who include 3D models, such as molecular structures and tissue illustrations, as part of their manuscript submission will have the opportunity to turn them into interactive AR-viewable objects.
According to Ludenso’s 2023 Impact Report, 50% of readers surveyed said they retained more information using AR. Other studies show that visual aids such as 3D images may help improve reading comprehension and engagement.
Karger’s new offering, authors can include increase reader engagement with 3D models; improve reader comprehension through visualization; and expand article reach by making research more accessible.
Ludenso is an innovative start-up with an AR platform to enrich academic publications and learning experiences. The partnership with Karger Publishers will be the first time that Ludenso’s technology has been rolled out in the context of scientific journals, giving a tangible benefit to Karger’s authors and the scientific community.
