Interenet2 Visible Human Project
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.
