Yes, that’s correct, Stormtrooper.

Over the last couple weeks, I have been working with Brian on the Human Visualization Project. While brainstorming with the doctors searching for the idea we want to focus our energy on, we have thrown around a lot of ideas ranging from games to training modules.

During one of our recent meetings with the medical illustrators, the idea came up that we do something with the central nervous system. With seemingly endless branches and paths a signal could take to reach the brain, we wanted to try and help make that easier for students to learn. We fired up Luster and decided to see what we could do.

Our goal: the user should be able to interact with the different branches of the nervous system by clicking them and following which path a nerve signal would travel if it was stimulated on the skin.

Since we were lacking some assets at the time, we decided to make things a little interesting. Enter Stormtrooper! The following video illustrates someone using what we created in Luster.

Hope you all enjoyed that, we’ll be posting some more pictures & videos of the real thing in the next couple weeks so check back to see how it’s going!
