Midjourney, the company behind the widely used AI image generator, says it is developing its first hardware project: a full-body ultrasonic scanner. The scanner is described as an ultrasonic device intended to capture information about a person’s body rather than generate images in software. While Midjourney is primarily known for AI tools that produce images from text prompts, both outlets report that the company is now extending into physical hardware. The announcements emphasize the novelty of the effort for a company associated with consumer-facing generative AI. At the same time, the coverage focuses on the fact that the scanner is still a development project, with details limited to the company’s intent and the basic concept of full-body ultrasonic scanning. The reports do not present independently verified performance results, clinical validation, or timelines for consumer availability. Overall, the story centers on Midjourney’s shift into hardware and its stated goal of building an ultrasonic scanner capable of full-body scanning.
