Miss Baillie's invention solves one of the biggest problems in veterinary medicine. That is, once your hand is up a cow's butt you can't really see anything you're doing

    Wow.. that's quite a Wii interface there...

    I suppose that this would be extremely helpful in learning veterinary medicine.
    As gross as it seems, I'd far rather practice before doing it for real...


    Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ... by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it? No, I meant... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull....

    That cow in the first photo is watching the screen, thinking "So THAT'S what a silicon controlled rectifier is!".

    Right?

    I like the fact you can try this in the comfort of your own living room.

    At my daughters agricultural college she tells me they actually have a living cow that has had a glove surgically attached extending into its stomach area so students can put their hands into the glove and feel the actions inside the cows stomach!

    That's where robotic arms come in. Then the circle will be complete.
