Midjourney, known for its text-to-image AI, announces its first hardware product: The Midjourney Scanner. Multiple outlets report that the device is a full-body ultrasound system that uses a ring of sensors to capture imaging as a person is submerged in water, described as a “dunk” or dunk-tank setup. The company says the scanner can produce a full body image or body-composition map in about 60 seconds and is designed to avoid radiation and magnetic fields associated with some medical imaging technologies. Midjourney CEO David Holz presents the scanner and frames it as a lower-cost, more accessible alternative intended for spa-like experiences, while the company also plans to create a related medical division, Midjourney Medical.
Coverage also notes that details remain limited. The Verge highlights that despite demonstrations and additional behind-the-scenes footage, Midjourney has not yet provided extensive independent proof of clinical performance, and some technical and practical questions are still unanswered. Reports agree that the company is moving into medical imaging for the first time and that the hardware effort is new for Midjourney.
