Area of Science:

Medical Education
Anatomy
Virtual Reality

Background:

Traditional human anatomy education relies on lectures and cadaveric dissection.
Modern educational tools, including virtual reality (VR), are being integrated to improve 3D visualization.
VR offers unique interactive capabilities for exploring anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the utility of VR in human anatomy education.
To compare VR-based learning with traditional methods like lectures and cadaveric dissection.
To evaluate student perceptions of VR's educational value.

Main Methods:

A VR platform was developed for anatomy education.
First-year medical students identified and drew anatomical structures on virtual specimens.
Student feedback was collected via surveys on VR's usefulness and educational value.

Main Results:

VR technology demonstrated strong subject support among students.
Students found VR helpful for learning anatomical names, locations, and 3D relationships.
VR was perceived as a valuable adjunct to traditional teaching methods.

Conclusions:

Virtual reality is a beneficial tool for human anatomy education.
VR enhances the learning of complex 3D anatomical relationships.
VR serves as an effective supplement to lectures and cadaveric dissection.
