Institutions adopting new technology such as HoloLens and GigXR apps often wish to adapt existing analog instructional resources and methods into a mixed reality format. GigXR offers assistance in converting existing learning materials based around tools like plastic models, cadavers, manakins, or simulated patients to be mixed reality accessible and ready for deployment in your classroom, lab or simulation center.
Through this service GigXR will provide:
Consultation and brainstorming to determine learning objectives best supported by GigXR apps
Conversion of existing lessons or learning resources into prepared sessions ready for classes
Assistance with authoring effective supporting materials for mixed-reality experiences
Deliverables We’ll Build For You
Reusable MR Teaching Sessions
Our platform can create templates of specific lessons called “Session Plans.” We will help you create and customize Session Plans as a persistent, yet versatile, resource supporting your curricular needs that can be shared with other educators at your institution. You can publish to our shared library so other institutions can use them, elevating your status as a pioneer of XR
Assignments or Worksheets
Instructor time and energy are precious resources! We will craft effective student-facing worksheets and assignments to accompany your Session Plans that provide learners with clear instructions for independent or team progression through their mixed-reality learning experience. You’ll be able to assess learner understanding with worksheets tailored to your learning objectives.
Facilitator’s Guides
Existing case study materials tailored to live Standardized Patients or manikin-based experiences naturally need adjustment to best facilitate working in a mixed-reality environment. We will integrate your best-loved case studies to the new holographic 3D experience, with documentation of step-by-step app navigation, scenario progression, and scaffolding for probing student learning
Transformation Examples
You have a standard assignment targeting a comparison of male and female reproductive anatomy accompanied by a worksheet which students complete as they examine the similarities of internal and external reproductive structures. After discussing the assignment with you and receiving your existing assignment sheet, we will create a multi-stage Saved Session Plan which will effectively support the assignment in HoloHuman and work with you to create a revised worksheet, ensuring your key learning objectives are supported. We’ll also show you how you can create similar assignments in the future
You have a case study of a patient with heart failure which you would like to enhance by using HoloPatient to give your students a feeling of realism that the description on paper just doesn’t have. After discussing the study and your goals with you, we will customize vital signs for one or more of the holographic standardized patients in HoloPatient and work with you to prepare a case study tailored to your needs, including detailed instructions on facilitating and sharing the experience with your students. We’ll also show you how to create similar materials in the future.
You wish to embed into your lecture slides some vibrant 3D images showing the relative positioning of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and digestive system components in the thorax. We will discuss with you the specific structures, angles, and positioning that will best support your instruction, and then export clear high-resolution images from HoloHuman to enhance your instructional materials. We’ll also show you how to create and export similar graphics as your needs evolve for future lessons
