Presentation Transcript

    2. Virtual Soldier Research Program at The University of Iowa Funded primarily by the US Army, we conduct basic and applied research for creating new technologies dealing with digital human modeling and simulation.  We are a group of 36 people (faculty, staff, scientists, engineers, clinical researchers, and graduate students) that have come together to create this new technology.
