Efficient 5G transmission of volumetric data using 3D character rigging techniques is able to be achieved by capturing volumetric data using RGB, depth or other special purpose cameras or sensors, reconstructing in 3D and then performing character rigging. The ability to render future or novel frames using rigging is able to be used in order to predict future and past models. By sending the rigging vectors and the compressed errors of difference between actual and predicted models, higher compression rates of volumetric sequences are able to be achieved compared to traditional methods. The decoder on the other side of the 5G channel reverses the process to synthesize original frames.

A wireless surgical loupe enables a user to use the wireless loupe to perform a procedure, transmit information acquired by the wireless loupe and display patient information on a wireless loupe display. The transmitted information is able to be used to aid the operating room procedure, enhance education and be recorded for later use.
