This new zone, located in Za’abeel Hall 4, will be an opportunity for visitors take a break from the busy exhibition to try out some of the latest innovative technologies in healthcare such as using Augmented and Virtual Reality to take a look at 3D organs or enjoying some friendly competition with our mind control EEG car race, for example.
