The Avatars:Online Virtual Bodies

:)Welcome to the beginning of our virtual reality experience. Virtual reality is a realistic simulation of an environment, including three-dimensional graphics, by a computer system using interactive software and hardware. Sounds pretty cool!!We hope you continue with us on our journey throughout the interesting project we will be discovering. We are very excited with the choice we made. Our group consists of Michelle Ottensman, Tad Hedman, and Bobbi Jo Richmond. Our project of virtual reality of a heart transplant was through a powerpoint but we could not upload it to our site. We did find a site though that has 19 easy steps to a heart transplant if you follow the link below.

A little about us!!

• *Hi, I am Bobbi Jo. I am 20 years old, and soon hope to be in the nursing program. We are doing a virtual reality of the heart, like a heart transplant. I am interested in doing this because the heart is such an important part and function of everyone's body. The area of medicine I would like to cover would be to explain to others how exactly the heart functions and what it takes to function. (Like being healthy,active,and stress controlled)
• *Hello, my name is Tad M. Hedman. I am enrolled in the full-time nursing program. I reside in Gladstone, Michigan. I , as well, am looking forward to getting into this project. Nursing is a challenging, yet rewarding career choice.This project as well, is turning out to be challenging, When we complete it I will have acquired some virtual reality knowledge. We, as BobbiJo stated are going to do a virtual reality stuff with the human heart. The area of medicine we hope to use for the framework is all cardiac. Stay tuned for an exciting ride .
• *Hi, I am Michelle and I am an R.N. student and my goal is to explore and learn more about virtual reality especially how it is used in the healthcare field. I want to be able to see how, and if it can help me as a Nurse. I hope this will be exciting and useful to others also.
