App Design and Implementation for Learning Human Anatomy Through Virtual and Augmented Reality

Abstract

The influence on the teaching of Augmented Reality (RA) and Virtual Reality (RV) techniques is analyzed in the process of teaching-learning of the Human Anatomy subject, in health science students. For this purpose, two own applications have been designed, for mobile devices and Virtual Reality glasses, with the purpose of incorporate these techniques in teaching, for the study of human anatomy, that facilitate the students a better learning of anatomical body contents through these technological procedures. In this way it is intended to achieve a better transmission of knowledge to students in an effective, visual, interactive and close the main contents related to human anatomy. We believe that these technological tools constitute an excellent complementary medium to the traditional atlases, facilitating the learning of the anatomical structures.
