“…The previously proposed AR Magic Mirrors are screen‐based systems that enable users to explore anatomical structures in conjunction with medical images in relation to their own body (Blum et al, ; Ma et al, ; Stefan et al, ; Ma et al, 2016a, b; Bork et al, , b). A similar system has been proposed by Giraud et al () for artistically animating medical volume datasets.…”

Early exposure to radiological cross‐section images during introductory anatomy and dissection courses increases students’ understanding of both anatomy and radiology. Novel technologies such as augmented reality (AR) offer unique advantages for an interactive and hands‐on integration with the student at the center of the learning experience. In this article, the benefits of a previously proposed AR Magic Mirror system are compared to the Anatomage, a virtual dissection table as a system for combined anatomy and radiology teaching during a two‐semester gross anatomy course with 749 first‐year medical students, as well as a follow‐up elective course with 72 students. During the former, students worked with both systems in dedicated tutorial sessions which accompanied the anatomy lectures and provided survey‐based feedback. In the elective course, participants were assigned to three groups and underwent a self‐directed learning session using either Anatomage, Magic Mirror, or traditional radiology atlases. A pre‐ and posttest design with multiple choice questions revealed significant improvements in test scores between the two tests for both the Magic Mirror and the group using radiology atlases, while no significant differences in test scores were recorded for the Anatomage group. Furthermore, especially students with low mental rotation test (MRT) scores benefited from the Magic Mirror and Anatomage and achieved significantly higher posttest scores compared to students with a low MRT score in the theory group. Overall, the results provide supporting evidence that the Magic Mirror system achieves comparable results in terms of learning outcome to established anatomy learning tools such as Anatomage and radiology atlases.

Fig. 1: To assess the impact of anatomical and injured avatars on well-being and performance, participants experienced four different avatars in a plain Virtual Reality environment. The left panel shows an injured human avatar. The middle panel illustrates how a participant experienced the avatar. After this embodiment induction, participants completed a line-following task located opposite the mirror to sample motor performance. The right panel shows a healthy skeleton avatar performing this task.

Screen-based Augmented Reality (AR) systems can be built as a window into the real world as often done in mobile AR applications or using the Magic Mirror metaphor, where users can see themselves with augmented graphics on a large display. Such Magic Mirror systems have been used in digital clothing environments to create virtual dressing rooms, to teach human anatomy, and for collaborative design tasks. The term Magic Mirror implies that the display shows the users enantiomorph, i.e. the mirror image, such that the system mimics a real-world physical mirror. However, the question arises whether one should design a traditional mirror, or instead display the true mirror image by means of a non-reversing mirror? This is an intriguing perceptual question, as the image one observes in a mirror is not a real view, as it would be seen by an external observer, but a reflection, i.e. a front-to-back reversed image. In this paper, we discuss the perceptual differences between these two mirror visualization concepts and present a first comparative study in the context of Magic Mirror anatomy teaching. We investigate the ability of users to identify the correct placement of virtual anatomical structures in our screen-based AR system for two conditions: a regular mirror and a non-reversing mirror setup. The results of our study indicate that the latter is more suitable for applications where previously acquired domain-specific knowledge plays an important role. The lessons learned open up new research directions in the fields of user interfaces and interaction in non-reversing mirror environments and could impact the implementation of general screen-based AR systems in other domains.
