"Take veterinary students on a trip to an actual hog farm and let them witness firsthand the outbreak of foreign animal disease as it manifests."
LENGTH: 24 minutes
PROJECT: "CSF:The Differential We Can't Afford to Forget"
The United States Department of Agriculture and the National Pork Board realized that educating today's student veterinarians is substantially more complicated than it was 20 years ago. Today's students are of the iPod and texting generation and to catch and hold their attention had become a serious problem which called for a new method of communication, something unique and novel enough to break through all of the distractions that have become a part of contemporary life.
Immersive 3D became the solution to that problem
PRESENTATION: Twin-projection & polarized glasses. The entire "show" went on the road traveling to dozens of veterinary colleges and universities situated around the country. After the video was shown a short quiz was conducted and the results proved that information presented in 3D rendered a more lasting impression on the brain than standard 2D.

Stereomedia custom designed a traveling package consisting of two foam-fitted cases, one for the 10' screen and stand, the other case contained projectors and stand, dvd player, audio system and storage for polarized glasses.
An INTERACTIVE 3D/DVD is currently being created to offer the student a more personal teaching exercise.
The veterinary student will now have the power to navigate through a variety of options and scenarios that illustrate the disease in a realistic view. The proposed viewing system will use a special stereoscopic flat panel LCD monitor and polarized glasses. The system will also include a DVD player, headphones along with a study guide & quiz in a foam-fitted traveling case.
