In February, Mary Thelander from the Occupational Therapy department scheduled a Technology Demonstration with the Health Science’s Library for her class. The four available technologies presented were 3D printing, Anatomage table, Data visualization wall and Virtual Reality headsets.

Mary Thelander included in her lectures the topic of 3D printing and it was supplemented with physical models that some of the students created.

The OT students were exploring the different muscles that the Anatomage has within its library for movement of the limbs.

The library had combined the Data Viz wall and the demonstration of the Meta Quest 3 headsets. Initially the program Organon was explored to see individual sections of the Central Nervous System before trying the Cubism.

The photos speak to the amount of fun that the OT students were having.

Faculty are welcome to schedule a Tech Demo with the Emerging Technology Specialist. The library also has six Quest 2s that are available for two-week checkout, while the six Quest 3s are only three-day checkouts. https://libguides.health.unm.edu/tech-at-hslic
