A project from the National Library of Medicine, called the Visible Human Project,
that has created complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional
representations of the normal male and female human bodies. As an
outgrowth of this project, the University of Michigan has created two-
and three-dimensional navigational browsers through which students can take a virtual tour of the human body over an Internet2 connection.
Heather Weisse, applications coordinator for MAGPI
(Mid-Atlantic GigaPoP in Philadelphia for Internet2) at the University
of Pennsylvania, said video conferencing is another useful application
of Internet2.
Internet2 and K-12
Internet2 is
worldwide, however, it is only referred to as Internet2 in the United
States. You can find out who's doing what from several sources, but I
would recommend that you start at http://k20.internet2.edu/. Depending
where you are located, your second call should be to the non-profit
service provider that provides egress to Internet2 for your region.
They can answer a lot of your questions and provide a lot of help.
