Final Exhibits

During the week of exhibits, the students displayed their final projects for everyone to see. While they were all noteworthy, there were two that stuck out in my mind.

With Bailyn's building blocks of Digital Humanities, she outlined the entire course from start to finish. While it not only reviewed the topics we discussed in class, it also served as a reminder for how much we really did this semester and how much we really learned. She started from the very beginning, and worked up until the very end of the class, following the class schedule and assigned readings. While she mainly focused on hyperlinks, the prezi was able to show so much more than them. It was nice to see all of the work that was put in to the entire year, all wrapped up in a single presentation.

Morgan's presentation of the technology of how doctor's can see the body was a very eye-opening experience. It showed how with increasing technology, doctors can now operate and direct surgeries without even looking at their patient. They are accurate enough to reproduce the images of
the body and present them as a sort of hologram. While scans and x-rays can produce images of the body now, they are only 2-D images. With this new technology, bodies are now able to be presented in a 3-D atmosphere, with all of the defects included.
