LINDSAY Virtual Human

In this channel you find videos about our work on the LINDSAY Virtual Human project at the University of Calgary.

We use computer game technology to tell stories about the human body. We build 3D, immersive and interactive computer models of human anatomy and physiology across spatial and temporal scales. Anatomical structures are illustrated from the body level to systems (nervous, endocrine, muscular, immune, digestive, cardiovascular, etc) down to organs, tissues, cells, proteins, and other sub-cellular structures.

Transdisciplinary Work:

Research on LINDSAY is conducted by interdisciplinary teams from the Department of Computer Science in the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts, and the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Tools:

— We use 3D models from Zygote Media Group, royalty-free models, or construct our own.

— Simulation engines we have been using so far are: LINDSAY Composer, Unity, and Unreal Engine.
