Human Anatomy Augmented Reality Viewer

Abstract

The integration of augmented reality (AR) in medical education has significantly enhanced the way students and professionals visualize and understand complex anatomical structures. This paper presents the Human Anatomy Augmented Reality Viewer, a system designed to provide an interactive and immersive learning experience for studying human anatomy. By leveraging AR technology, users can explore highly detailed 3D anatomical models in real-time, enabling better spatial awareness and comprehension of various body systems. The application supports interactive features such as zooming, rotating, and layerbased visualization of organs, bones, and muscles. It utilizes both marker-based and markerless AR techniques for seamless model integration in real-world environments. The proposed system aims to bridge the gap between traditional learning methods and modern digital education tools, offering an engaging and cost-effective solution for medical students, educators, and healthcare professionals. Preliminary user feedback and usability evaluations indicate that the AR viewer enhances knowledge retention and engagement, demonstrating its potential as a valuable tool for medical education and training.
