Midjourney launches 'Midjourney Scanner' to capture...

Midjourney’s latest move is decidedly tactile. While the company made its name turning text prompts into cat pictures, CEO David Holz just unveiled a hardware venture: the Midjourney Scanner, an ultrasound‑based full‑body system that wraps a ring of sensors around a person to capture vertical slices of muscle, fat, bone and organs. Here’s the thing: Holz says the device could be used once a year—or even daily—because it “aims for image quality comparable to MRI in many ways.” He envisions checking how diet and workouts reshape his own body, noting, “I’m not the most measured man on Earth yet, you know, but maybe I want to have that daily [measurable information].” A recent batch of job postings frames the effort as an attempt to “build and launch the world’s first full‑body ultrasound CT scanner, ultimately bringing safe, fast, and high‑fidelity preventative scanning to billions via a magical spa experience.” The scanner is being developed with ultrasound specialist Butterfly Network, which confirms the technology leverages its sensor platform. The venture marks a shift from digital art to physical diagnostics, and the upcoming spa concept hints at how Midjourney plans to package the service.
