Mixed Reality Abdominal Anatomy Project
This project is a collaboration between myself, Philipp Schnell and Javier Suquia from the University of Dundee School of Computing, and Dr. Neil Harrison from the University of Dundee Medical School.
Original 3D models were created by BodyParts3D, © The Database Center for Life Science licensed under CC Attribution-Share Alike 2.1 Japan.
VR and AR have the potential to improve students understanding of anatomy, and when used alongside examination of real patients could enhance the appreciation of how these areas fit together.
For this project, I adapted abdominal (major organs and vasculature) models from BodyParts3D, using Zbrush and Maya (remeshing, sculpting, polypainting, and creation of texture maps).
Philipp and Javier from the Computing department at the University of Dundee then created the app in Unity.
