One of the most significant issues facing amputees leaving rehabilitation units is the loss of connectivity with peers and caregivers. The new Amputee Virtual Environment Support Space (AVESS) being constructed within Second Life is a great resource enabling social networking between returning amputees and caregivers. Emerging haptic devices and sensors could greatly increase the immersive nature ...

The major goal of this project is to develop an integrated system for enhancing a war fighter"s experience in an Amputee Virtual Environment Support Space. The concept demonstration delivered to the sponsor at the conclusion of this Phase-I will show the sponsor that we have developed techniques for innovatively connecting COTS products and advanced behavior recognition techniques to enable non-v ...

For this Phase I SBIR, Vcom3D will design a Web-based medical game for the development of the cognitive skills required to provide highest quality of care from far-forward locations through evacuation to level 1 trauma facilities. The training will empha

Throughout history, the ability of a fighting force to respond to battlefield casualties, perform triage, and evacuate their wounded to a treatment facility has been crucial to the long-term success of the force. Until now, the ability of medical personn

A synthetic human body has been developed which mimics normal human anatomy and the properties of living tissue. This SynDaver Synthetic Human (SSH) employs a functioning circulatory system capable of massive hemorrhage, a respiratory system capable of v

Control-X proposes the development of a highly specific device that integrates several classical approaches to study of vestibular, visual, and balance disorders for the detection and treatment of secondary pathologies resulting from concussion or mild tr

Humanitarian organizations hold the same objectives: to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity. Humanitarian organizations large and small respond in numbers to large-scale disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or the devastation in Ha

Computation of the radiative transfer model for a hyperspectral sounder with thousands of spectral channels is very time-consuming. Consequently, operational data assimilation systems can assimilate only a few hundred channels. The radiative transfer model is very suitable for GPU implementation to take advantage of GPU massively parallel computing capability, where radiances at various channels c ...

The gray whale migration generates many hours of video that must be examined carefully to identify passing whales and get an accurate count of their numbers. Unfortunately, humans lack the necessary attention span. To solve this problem, a detector will be developed that can process hours of video, detecting whale blows while minimizing false positives and negatives. With an accurate record of ...
