Building a Ventilator Simulator with Power Point



I worked on this project for a mobile app wire-frame three years ago and recorded the process (over 70 short videos) thinking someone else might want to use this technique. This technique is for anyone that has ever wanted to build a simulator however does not have a computer programming background. These videos demonstrate how to build a interactive operator interface for an mechanical ventilator using MS Power Point. These lessons can be applied to create simulators for education, presentations, mobile app prototyping, etc.
