Temporal Bone on ImmersaDeskThe model, which viewers explore using a wand and a special pair of eyeglasses while facing a 20-square-foot screen called an ImmersaDeskTM, allows surgeons to familiarize themselves with the complex spatial relationships of structures composing the ear. It also offers students of all ages an unprecedented opportunity to "get inside" a hidden part of the body.
