Exploring the Human Body in 3D
Lakeland University biology students are getting a new perspective on the human body — in three dimensions.
Thanks to a gift from Lakeland graduate Cliff Feldmann, the Anatomy and Physiology Lab now has virtual reality goggles that allow students to explore the human body in ways a textbook or traditional model can't.
Students can examine organs and tissues in three dimensions, peel back layers of the body and even see dynamic processes such as a beating heart.
The technology also makes learning a shared experience. Through the ArborXR platform, instructors can project what an individual student is seeing, allowing classmates and lab partners to follow along and work together.
Feldmann has continued to support Lakeland students and invest in opportunities that enhance their education. His generosity is helping provide students with new tools and experiences that bring what they're learning in the classroom to life.
It's another hands-on learning tool that gives Lakeland students the opportunity to experience what they're studying rather than simply read about it.
