Tactus Technologies

Tactus Technologies is pleased to introduce V-Frog™, the world’s first virtual reality (V.R.) based frog dissection software designed for biology education. Using a simple mouse and basic personal computer, a student can pick up a scalpel, cut and open the skin of the frog, and explore the anatomy and physiology, just like he or she would with a physical frog.

V-Frog™ promises to deliver an educational experience comparable to conventional frog dissection, without incurring the many problems that a conventional dissection poses. V-Frog™ was developed through a competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Features of V-Frog™ include:
• 3D Navigation
• Organ and Tissue Query
• Comparative Anatomy
• Activations (watch the beating heart, digestion, and many more)
• Dissection (cut, peel, and remove organs)
• Probing
• Endoscoping

New Features of V-Frog™ 2.0 include:
• Additional Species (Flatworm, Sponge, and Jellyfish)
• Faster Simulation
• 3D Stereo (Cardboard, Shutter, and Polarized): Contact us for hardware requirements

System Recommendation:
• Windows XP/ Vista/ 7
• 2GB RAM
• 300MB Disk Space
• 512MB, OpenGL 2.0 Video Card
• Contact us for 3D Stereo Requirements
