This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II Project combines 3-D computer graphics and gaming technology to provide a non-linear, immersive learning environment for science education in the human anatomy and physiology domain. Modern computer-simulations present a unique ability to present scientific information in an easy to understand manner. Technology advances in computer graphics present opportunities to present higher quality visual models in an interactive fashion that can convey the scientific process in a way which makes learning science fun and interesting for the students while capturing their enthusiasm for science. The proposed project will develop a toolkit consisting of 3-D visualizations for teaching human anatomy and physiology and interactive simulation environments for exploring the human body from a first person point of view. It is envisioned that simulations will be used in conjunction with traditional lectures while the interactive environments will provide immersive reinforcement learning. Phase II development will be validated by an independent evaluation that measures the products effects on achievement and interest in science.This project will play a role in increasing achievement and interest in science. In order for the nation to remain competitive in the life sciences, the nation must produce an adequate number of students who pursue degrees in life sciences. The proposed research is targeted at improving students' interest and achievement in science, and thus greatly impact the disturbing drop in recent years in United States' student interest in pursuing science education and careers, and the rapid increase in demand in the labor market for science-based degrees for the labor market.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第二阶段项目结合了3-D计算机图形和游戏技术，为人体解剖学和生理学领域的科学教育提供了一个非线性、身临其境的学习环境。现代计算机模拟提供了一种独特的能力，能够以一种易于理解的方式呈现科学信息。计算机图形学的技术进步提供了机会，以互动的方式呈现更高质量的视觉模型，以一种使学生学习科学有趣和有趣的方式传达科学过程，同时激发他们对科学的热情。拟议的项目将开发一个工具包，其中包括用于教授人体解剖学和生理学的3-D可视化，以及用于从第一人称角度探索人体的交互式模拟环境。据设想，模拟将与传统讲座结合使用，而互动环境将提供身临其境的强化学习。第二阶段的开发将通过一项独立的评估来验证，该评估衡量了产品对科学成就和兴趣的影响。该项目将在提高科学成就和兴趣方面发挥作用。为了保持国家在生命科学领域的竞争力，国家必须培养出足够数量的攻读生命科学学位的学生。这项拟议的研究旨在提高学生对科学的兴趣和成就，从而极大地影响近年来美国学生对追求科学教育和职业的兴趣的令人不安的下降，以及劳动力市场对以科学为基础的学位的需求的快速增长。
