Lab opens opportunities at university in Dayton
The Dave and Norma McCarthy Virtual Reality Laboratory is now open at the University of Dayton (UD). This lab will help students prepare for healthcare professionals to study the human body in three-dimensional (3D) format and learn additional skills needed in their field.
The lab has advanced 3D anatomy tools and seven virtual reality stations that will allow students to practice interpreting MRI and CT scans and explore complex biological systems. Brochure printing is one way to offer more details about such labs and their benefits for students.
Lecturer in the Department of Health and Sport Science at UD, Kimberly Ritterhoff, said that this technology will provide students with more time to explore the material and more ways to learn about it.
Having the virtual reality stations is the first time that all the technology will be in one place, as it has been purchased over the past five years and dispersed throughout the university. Consequently, it will create an integrated and cohesive space.
Interim dean of the School of Education and Health Sciences (SEHS), Corinne Daprano, said the lab is currently being used for the course in human anatomy and additional health professions and programs in the school plan to incorporate it in the future. Daprano added that whether students go into athletic training, physical therapy, medicine, or another field, this lab will give them the experience with the tools that are used in the real world today.
