Big news this week! Team 14 finally has a proper name and so it is time for a proper introduction.

NeuroMediSim

After brainstorming and trying our best to stay away from copyright problems, we finally have a winner for our group name: NeuroMediSim. The name captures the two most essential aspect of our project which is neurology and simulation. Our brilliant Marshall designed the logo to perfectly represent the team and the project itself.

A game for professionals

Many neurologic conditions utilize visual clues which to an experienced neurologist lead to an almost instant diagnosis. Unfortunately, the opportunities for learning these conditions is limited due to the relative rarity of many of these conditions. Our team’s objective is to design and create a simulation game with realistic scenarios where the participants must utilize their knowledge to determine the type of neurologic condition by utilizing visual clues as they would in real-life situations. So how are we planning to achieve this?

Motion Capture

Our team is exploring all the available and practical means of motion capture to generate data from real-life demonstration and then translate into 3D animation for the most accurate game experience. It may not be as cool as shooting the Avengers but still, pretty exciting right?
