Abstract

The goal of the Vesalius Project is a high-resolution, interactive 3-D atlas of human/animal anatomy, stored on a laser videodisc and displayed on graphics workstations--an an "electronic Gray's Anatomy." Students will use this computerized atlas interactively to learn the structure of the body and to understand their own bodies in health and disease. The Human Factors Research Laboratory at Colorado State University has designed and is conducting a comprehensive evaluation program for the project.
