The Simulation Innovation Playground (Part of Tech Week GR)

Tuesday, September 15, 2026
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Health Campus
Alumni, Community, Faculty, Staff, Students

Experience a hands-on showcase of innovative technologies transforming education and training. Explore virtual and augmented reality, high-fidelity birth simulation manikins, 3D printing applications, the Anatomage Table, and the Evo AuRA wearable simulation vest.

Designed to be highly interactive, attendees will have the opportunity to experience immersive VR and AR environments that bring learning to life through realistic, engaging simulations. Explore advanced high-fidelity birth simulation manikins and discover how they replicate real-world clinical scenarios, providing learners with valuable hands-on practice in a safe and controlled setting. Attendees can also interact with the Anatomage Table, a life-sized 3D anatomy visualization system that enables virtual dissection and detailed exploration of human anatomy.

Learn how the Evo AuRA vest enhances experiential learning by transforming low-fidelity manikins into mid-fidelity simulation experiences through realistic physiological feedback. Come ready to explore, experiment, and discover what's possible when innovation meets learning.
