This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I (SBIR) research project uses augmented reality devices to combine multimedia technologies with manikin task-trainers to provide a nonlinear, immersive learning platform for nursing education. This project hopes to combine interactive, 3D medical graphics with the hands-on realism of manikin task trainer simulation, capitalizing on the strengths of both technologies. Using mixed reality goggles, 3D imagery of the body's internal anatomy will be superimposed over the view of the user, providing additional 3D didactic information while using a task trainer manikin. The project anticipates that this will enable highly effective synergy between the visual and hands-on component of medical education.Integrating multimedia technologies with manikin simulation presents the opportunity to combine the strengths of both technologies. The potential outcomes of this project will integrate multimedia medical education technology with low-fidelity manikin technology (task trainers) using affordable, mixed-reality goggles to provide an affordable mixed-reality training solution for nursing education. While there have been academic prototypes of an augmented reality application for endotracheal intubation, the project anticipates that this will be the first work to develop fully functional mixed-reality training simulator for nursing education. Using mixed-reality goggles, 3D imagery will be superimposed over the view of the user. This will enable the user to get additional 3D didactic information while using the task trainer. This research project will play a role in increasing learning opportunities in the nursing field. This technology may play a critical role in mitigating the well documented future nursing shortage, by providing high quality virtual nursing educational experiences, without increasing the number of nurse educators.

这项小型企业创新研究阶段（SBIR）研究项目使用增强现实设备将多媒体技术与Manikin Task-Trainers相结合，以提供一个非线性，沉浸式学习平台，用于护理教育。该项目希望将交互式3D医学图形与Manikin任务培训师模拟的真实现实主义相结合，利用这两种技术的优势。使用混合现实护目镜，将在用户的视图上叠加到人体内部解剖结构的3D图像，并在使用任务培训师Manikin时提供其他3D Didactic信息。该项目预计，这将使医学教育的视觉和动手组成部分之间具有高效的协同作用。与Manikin Simulation融合多媒体技术为结合两种技术优势的机会提供了机会。该项目的潜在成果将使用负担得起的，混合现实的护目镜将多媒体医学教育技术与低保真Manikin Technology（任务培训师）整合在一起，以提供负担得起的混合现实培训解决方案，以进行护理教育。尽管已经有一个用于气管插管的增强现实应用程序的学术原型，但该项目预计这将是第一个开发功能齐全的混合现实培训模拟器进行护理教育的工作。使用混合现实的护目镜，将在用户的视图上叠加3D图像。这将使用户在使用任务培训师时获得其他3D教学信息。该研究项目将在增加护理领域的学习机会中发挥作用。这项技术通过提供高质量的虚拟护理教育经验，而无需增加护士教育者的数量，可以通过提供高质量的虚拟护理教育经验来减轻记录良好的未来护理短缺。
