Using 3D modeling software, the photos were interweaved to create 3D animation. Using game development software enabled students to adjust lighting, zoom and manipulate the images, just like in a traditional laboratory. The images were programmed to create a virtual simulation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The final product is \u201can interactive web application that utilizes a custom 3D microscope and incorporates animation and real-life slide photos,\u201d according to Victor Yee, an\u00a0Ecampus assistant director of course development and training.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Also see:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/campustechnology.com\/articles\/2018\/10\/25\/youtube-to-invest-20-million-in-educational-content.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>YouTube to Invest $20 Million in Educational Content<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from campustechnology.com by Dian Schaffhauser<br \/>\n<em>Excerpt:<\/em><br \/>\nYouTube, a Google company, has announced plans to invest $20 million in YouTube Learning, an initiative hinted at during the summer.
