| Abstract: |
The article offers information about the V-Frog program in Buffalo, New York. It is a virtual-reality program that allows students to dissect the frog's internal organs and explore tissues using an endoscope. Users can also observe the beating of the frog's heart, all made possible with just the click of a mouse. The program is used in schools because they avoid the use of chemicals and sharp objects as well as the controversy over the use of animals. The program was developed by Kevin Chugh, computer scientists at Tactus Technologies in Buffalo, New York. |
