Job title:_ Research Assistant - Surgery Simulator_
Reports to: Mark Henne

Overview
This project is supervised by Mark Henne, John Hermanowski, and Evan Geller MD.
Research Assistants will work under the guidance of DigiPen faculty to produce a proof of concept for a laparoscopic abdominal surgery simulator in Unreal 5. The project is intended to have a photorealistic look, so that internal organs appear the way they would through a laparoscopic camera. Work will continue through Fall and Spring of the 2022-23 academic year, potentially continuing into the Summer semester of 2023.
Current goals are to create assets for an accurately modeled, shaded and lit Unreal 5 app. Camera navigation will be with static models. Basic dynamic interaction with the models is a stretch goal.
