Research project
Virtual Anatomy explored how the medium of real-time 3D could be used to create novel resources for anatomy education.
3D medical visualisation software is almost always based on a model of inspection whereby an object can be remotely rotated and magnified as if at arm's length. In this project we looked at the possibility of using immersive environments and interactivity of the type found in computer games as a way of actively engaging students with the complex spatial features and relationships involved in anatomical knowledge.
