This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I (SBIR) research project uses augmented reality devices to combine multimedia technologies with manikin task-trainers to provide a nonlinear, immersive learning platform for nursing education. This project hopes to combine interactive, 3D medical graphics with the hands-on realism of manikin task trainer simulation, capitalizing on the strengths of both technologies. Using mixed reality goggles, 3D imagery of the body's internal anatomy will be superimposed over the view of the user, providing additional 3D didactic information while using a task trainer manikin. The project anticipates that this will enable highly effective synergy between the visual and hands-on component of medical education.Integrating multimedia technologies with manikin simulation presents the opportunity to combine the strengths of both technologies. The potential outcomes of this project will integrate multimedia medical education technology with low-fidelity manikin technology (task trainers) using affordable, mixed-reality goggles to provide an affordable mixed-reality training solution for nursing education. While there have been academic prototypes of an augmented reality application for endotracheal intubation, the project anticipates that this will be the first work to develop fully functional mixed-reality training simulator for nursing education. Using mixed-reality goggles, 3D imagery will be superimposed over the view of the user. This will enable the user to get additional 3D didactic information while using the task trainer. This research project will play a role in increasing learning opportunities in the nursing field. This technology may play a critical role in mitigating the well documented future nursing shortage, by providing high quality virtual nursing educational experiences, without increasing the number of nurse educators.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段（SBIR）研究项目使用增强现实设备，将联合收割机多媒体技术与人体模型任务训练器相结合，为护理教育提供非线性的沉浸式学习平台。该项目希望将联合收割机交互式3D医学图形与人体模型任务训练器模拟的实际操作现实主义结合起来，利用这两种技术的优势。使用混合现实护目镜，身体内部解剖结构的3D图像将叠加在用户的视图上，在使用任务训练器模型时提供额外的3D教学信息。该项目预计，这将使医学教育的视觉和动手组件之间的高度有效的协同作用。集成多媒体技术与人体模拟提供了机会，联合收割机的优势，这两种技术。该项目的潜在成果将整合多媒体医学教育技术与低保真假人技术（任务训练器），使用负担得起的混合现实护目镜，为护理教育提供负担得起的混合现实培训解决方案。虽然已经有了气管插管增强现实应用的学术原型，但该项目预计这将是第一个为护理教育开发全功能混合现实培训模拟器的工作。使用混合现实护目镜，3D图像将叠加在用户的视图上。这将使用户能够在使用任务训练器时获得额外的3D教学信息。这项研究项目将在增加护理领域的学习机会方面发挥作用。这项技术可以发挥关键作用，在减轻有据可查的未来护理短缺，提供高质量的虚拟护理教育经验，而不增加护士教育工作者的数量。
