Abstract
The LINDSAY Virtual Human Project encompasses anatomy teaching and physiology simulation for medical education. We have built a novel visualization and simulation framework that allows instructors and students to interact with three dimensional anatomical models and physiological simulations in real time. These tools allow the creation of learning objects in a number of forms, intended for use by both instructors and students. These tools are inquiry‐learning ready and include features designed to make the creation and dissemination of learner‐centered content easy and accessible. The software uses a unique, visual programming language that harnesses the power and versatility of agent‐based modeling. Users can therefore create, save, and modify presentations and simulations, and the objects created can be stored and linked hierarchically to explore anatomy and physiology at multiple scales. We aim to take advantage of recent exciting advances in portable touch interface technology. Our presentation software is currently in beta‐release, with planned full release in Spring of 2012. Our simulation software is planned for beta‐release in Summer of 2012.
