Jim Hayes Portfolio : Primal Pictures DVD interface
Introduction :
Winner of the British Medical Association 2007 book awards (Electronic books category), I built this DVD based director application as generic gui for all primal pictures products. It uses a custom C++ Xtra (plugin) to access the underlying sqlite database and perform the required imaging operations. It is the basis for all new primal pictures DVD based applications
URLs :
As a DVD based product, there is no direct online equivalent.
However, a demonstration may be found on the Primal Pictures website here :

Anatomy screen:
The main view of the application, this shows the 3D view of the current anatomical model.
The user may navigate 360 degrees around the view of the current layer, and move up or down layers.
Slide screen :
The Slide screen shows various categories of single images, which may have selectable anatomical structures.
If so, a selectable list of those structures is displayed.
MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) screen.
Shows a layered series of MRI images which are synchronised (at the users choice) to a rotatable, layerable 3d Anatomy model. Selecting an anatomical structure in either also selects the same structure in the other view.
Movies screen :
The movies screen displays QTVR animateable movies and plain movie files.
Quiz setup screen :
This screen allows the user to select options on the interactive anatomy quiz before starting.
Quiz : "Where is question"
The users has to identify the named anatomical structure and click to select it in the 3d view.
Quiz : "what is" question.
In this type of question, the user must identify the highlighted object from a choice of anatomical names.
"MCQ" (Multiple choice questions) quiz:
separate to the 3D anatomy quiz, this additional learning exercise tests the users knowledge of anatomy with text based multiple choice questions.
