Develop an Otoscopy unit with a handheld eyepiece that simultaneously relays a video feed to a more distanced observer for teaching otoscopic examinations in dogs and cats.

Project Overview

The current designs of handheld otoscopes for animal practice do not allow video transfer to a distant view compared to a video otoscope, which is practiced differently in simulations. The goal is to design a handheld otoscope with video capabilities to allow student-performed examinations to be visualized to the faculty for assessments.
