Product Description:

The heart of this program is an animated journey through the eye--you fly into the cornea, around the lens, through the vitreous, and deep into the layers of the retina.

Interactive QuickTime VR panoramas allow users to explore each part of the eye as if they were inside.

Detailed movies illustrate the function of the various eye components and the complexity of the retina.

Sounds of muffled heartbeats, aqueous fluids, and neural activity effectively transport you into the eye.
