3D Organon VR Anatomy

Implementing virtual reality technology to teach medical college systemic anatomy: A pilot study

“…Although the 3D Organon software cost was higher, its contents (which include comprehensive labeling and the ability to disassemble objects) were more extensive compared with BodyMap. In addition, previous research demonstrated that the 3D Organon software featured the ability to observe virtual bodies from any angle and depth, to provide an immersive experience, and to disassemble and freely rotate anatomical structures 12 . Hence, 3D Organon VR Anatomy software was used herein.…”

“…VR anatomy instruction video strategy for large class sizes with limited equipmentAccording to the Likert scale survey and free-form text responses, students agreed that the VR anatomy instruction video was beneficial for learning anatomy and could help them understand complex 3D anatomical structures and systemic anatomy concepts. Due to VR's immersive perspective and ability to disassemble objects, the use of VR in anatomy education may help students understand complex 3D structures, as shown by previous research 12. However, students herein disagreed that the use of VR anatomy software could replace the anatomy dissection laboratory, despite recognizing the benefits of the VR anatomy instruction video.…”

“…In addition, previous research demonstrated that the 3D Organon software featured the ability to observe virtual bodies from any angle and depth, to provide an immersive experience, and to disassemble and freely rotate anatomical structures. 12 Hence, 3D Organon VR Anatomy software was used herein. After discussing the contents of the 3D Organon with other experienced anatomy instructors, the authors determined that systemic anatomy education was more suitable than regional anatomy for VR-based teaching, and that 3D Organon software was the most appropriate for this study.…”

“…First, observers can freely adjust their observation viewpoint. Second, virtual anatomical structures can be disassembled and flipped for examination 11–13 . Hence, medical students' understanding of the complex human structures could be enhanced by supplementing traditional two‐dimensional atlases with 3D spatial representations.…”

“…VR, applied in anatomy education, may provide learners with a powerful immersive experience. 12,15 However, immersive experiences can be influenced by crucial factors, including vision, hearing, and olfaction. 16 VIMS has been reported to be a common side effect of virtual environments.…”
