The January 27 meeting of your North Central Florida chapter of AITP will feature Andrew Robb of UF's Virtual Experience Research Group presenting the Virtual Human:
The University of Florida’s Virtual Experiences Research Group (VERG) studies how virtual people can make real people better people. Virtual humans can be used to prepare medical students and practitioners for the challenges they face during real patient interactions. Virtual humans can teach medical students how to diagnose rare diseases, help recognize and overcome language barriers and racial biases, and safely train people to better handle conflict in the workplace.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
