Successful surgical intervention
depends on the surgeon's ability to conceptually visualize complex anatomical structures
(such as the pelvic floor) three-dimensionally. Tele-immersive applications, combining
teleconferencing, telepresence, and virtual reality, combined with the advanced network
capabilities of Internet2 networks, allow both teacher and students to enjoy improved
visualization of 3-D structures. Tele-immersion participants interact using two or more by networked ImmersaDeskTM systems and using special eyeglasses with sensors that track each viewer�s movements and cause the system to automatically orient the model in relation to the viewer. The teacher and students�even in geographically remote locations�are able to share and interact with a 3-D anatomical model, converse, see each other, and point in three dimensions using an electronic wand.
