We've created a new video to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the OpenSim project. The short movie describes how and why we simulate movement and demonstrates how modeling is being applied to help plan surgery for children with cerebral palsy.
Please check out the video and share it widely with your colleagues, students, family, and friends. Help us make OpenSim "go viral"!

The video is featured as part of an exhibit on understanding human movement at The Leonardo, a new art, science, and technology museum in Salt Lake City. The exhibit also has an interactive soccer ball kicking "game", where the real-life player tries to score a goal in OpenSim by adjusting the virtual player's muscle forces. If you are in Salt Lake City, we encourage you to visit the museum:

If you can't make it to Utah, you can download the example from SimTK.org:
