Ottobock

The Ottobock museum is a biomedical engineer's heaven. It is full of cutting edge medical technology and you get to play with it. There is GUI all over the place that gives all anatomical and physiological background on how the devices become one with the person. It was one of the few times I have seen the theory that we bioengineers have been learning put forth into application. I didn't realize how far we had come in assisting amputees nor did I realize how far we have to go. This visit was just another confirmation that my heart truly rest in the biomedical field. My favorite part of the museum had to be projection of bones, ligaments, and tendons onto my actual arm. Freaky and totally rad.
