A Midjourney hardware engineer named Marcin posted a 19-minute video walking through the assembly of the company's custom ultrasonic scanner, from dense server-room cabling to live 3D captures and team conversations. The footage offers a rare desk-level view of the hardware work supporting Midjourney's new medical imaging effort, which uses a descending platform and half a million transducers to create whole-body scans in roughly a minute.
Marcin is a hardware engineer at Midjourney (and a YouTube star). So we asked him to make a video!
I watched the Midjourney scanner get built from my desk; here's a look behind the scenes
Only a small number of trial scans have occurred so far, and the first public location, a San Francisco wellness center with ten units, is still scheduled for late 2027. The video captures current assembly steps rather than finished deployment scale.
Pricing, exact per-scan costs, and any head-to-head performance numbers versus MRI or CT have not been disclosed. Regulatory plans start with a wellness exemption and move toward broader diagnostic clearance later, but those filings are still ahead.
Users praise Midjourney's behind-the-scenes scanner hardware build video for its authentic look at real engineering work and hard effort instead of polished promotion.

It's really fun having Marcin at Midjourney and it's super cool to finally see him do a video at the office.

@MickeySteamboat more coming! we're going to do this out in the open
@marcinplaz pls also post on yt
@DavidSHolz This is a really neat behind the scenes. people should be paying close attention. pretty historic
@i_mika_el we wanted to have both! polished, technical and behind the scenes
@chiropractic haha its a very high budget diy project 😱
@marcinplaz actually so banger
@marcinplaz @K9Cognoscente thots?
@midjourney the hardware side of this is so fun to see. feels like the kind of behind-the-scenes video people usually only get after a product is already legendary
Better yet let's shoot for the fence right if you bubble curtained the pool with specific bubble sizes like a fish tank and the system moves in mechanical autonomous motion with those bubbles could it help propagate specific tomographic waves even in between the patterns of bubble, through the patterns or will the patterns chain the wave into more 🤔
Or ruin the effect the interesting part is in the video you said bubbles were worse like noise filtering that I get but if the software is intentionally using that noise I think that could be a separation 🤔
All speculation but better to question everything than nothing

Marcin is incredible! Super smart, super nice. It's been really lovely to have him at the office all this time. also this is indeed what the office looks like :)

@marcinplaz Great video, good to see the scanner actually in action.
I was recently doing alot of tomography research into natural evaporation and the micro molecular geometry and how I could potentially pass waves farther and much more denser using these pockets 🤷
Everything is a wave or a wave consolidation or dissipation literally Everything 🤣😉
@DavidSHolz but can we make it more better?
@midjourney @yernarmerkhanov it is. it's one of the most vital developments ever. this direction is the only way forward. 🥺
@thjonml we're not discouraged!
@marcinplaz this reminds me of weekend mornings as a kid watching science segments on tv in the best possible way
@marcinplaz Come on MTS today and talk about this live!
