The Emerging Technologies Program at HSLIC continues to grow and thrive: Anatomage digital anatomy tables are even more available; Virtual Reality headsets have been updated to the latest models; and our 3D-printer is being used in new and creative ways every week. Check out our latest promotional video here!
We now have two Anatomage Tables at HSLIC. The School of Medicine generously made their Anatomage Table available 24/7 by locating it at HSLIC next to the one already locating in the group study area on the 3rd floor. Teams of students can work on different projects by using both tables at the same time. For example, take a look at the Biomedical Engineering Class using the tables here.
In 2022, HSLIC increased our Virtual Reality headset inventory to include 6 Meta Oculus 2 headsets; this semester we replaced those with updated Meta Quest 3 headsets. These new headsets have much higher resolution and an exceptional pass-through viewing option. These features make it much easier to navigate both physical and virtual spaces. They also have comfortable Elite Straps that include an extra battery for extended use. 3D printing this semester has been used for everything from samples of New Mexico parasites, to teaching models of the Circle of Willis arteries in the brain. Through the generosity of their maker, Eugenia Papodopoulos, we also have 3D printed prosthetic arms and hands on display. We hope these will inspire our students to keep exploring the boundaries of new technology!
