During Alumni Weekend in September 2019, three BHSc Bioinformatics students demonstrated their summer research projects. Alex Vanc, Ryan Lee and Erin Brintnell were on hand at the Lindsay Virtual Human Lab showcasing their research. Alex's project, "LINDSAY Virtual Human 2.0" culminates past projects in their lab to give the user an in-depth, exploratory experience of the entire human body. Users can navigate between physiological systems, learning about their macroscopic function, before entering more detailed projects on each system. Ryan’s project, “The Giant Walkthrough Gut”, explores the digestive system using VR to improve learning outcomes and educate the public. Users can traverse the entire GI tract and interact with stations to learn in an immersive and eye-opening environment. Erin’s project, LeukaemiaSIM educates pediatric leukaemia patients on the physiology of blood cells in a fun and interactive environment. In the game users interact with characters which take on the persona of white and red blood cells.
