Summary
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) effectively enhance anatomy education, showing equal or better student performance and high satisfaction. Further research is needed on long-term learning and cost-effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Anatomical Sciences Education
- Medical Technology Integration
Background:
- Growing demand for innovative anatomical science teaching tools.
- Advancements in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) present new educational opportunities.
- Limited adoption of VR/AR in current anatomy curricula.
Conclusions:
- VR/AR technologies show significant promise for improving anatomy education.
- Heterogeneity and confounding factors necessitate cautious interpretation of results.
- Further investigation into learning depth, retention, and cost-effectiveness is recommended.
