Computer scientists at the University of Glasgow have constructed a virtual
rear end of a horse to help train veterinary students. Having sixty untrained
students subjecting a horse to an internal examination puts the animal under
great stress, and may even injure it. Instead, students can now place a finger
inside a force-feedback glove to feel a computed model of a horse’s ovaries. The
system can simulate a much wider range of abnormalities than students would
usually experience. The device is part of Glasgow’s Revelation project, an
initiative launched this week to use virtual reality for teaching.
