The OCT device uses computational tomography, a fancy way of saying that it makes heavy use of computing power to present the 3D images in a usable way. I was amazed that the sophisticated laser and other optics, along with a powerful computer and fancy software, could all be purchased for under $50,000. Even though I'm a technology guy myself, I still can't quite wrap my brain around the incredibly rapid advances. I wouldn't have guessed you could buy this capability for under a half million dollars. At the rate this seems to be going, you'll probably be able to do it on your iPhone 8, with a $10 laser/lens attachment, using voice control :)
