Do you teach anatomy?
Take a peek at the future of anatomy teaching.

The technical resources team are hosting a digital anatomy showcase event to demonstrate some of the digital resources that are currently available to staff. The event will be an hour long and will showcase a variety of apps and technologies with the intent of making you aware of them and showing you what they can do rather than getting into too much detail about any particular one.

We will be running 3 sessions:
Friday 8 Sept                2pm – 3:30pm            RWB F332
Tuesday 12 Sept          3pm – 4:30pm            RWB F332
Thursday 14 Sept        10am – 11:30am         RWB F332

What we will be showcasing

Mobile apps

There are some great free and paid for mobile anatomy apps you could be using in your teaching including the award winning Essential Anatomy 5. We‘ll showcase a few that you might find useful.

Websites

We will take a look at the latest version of Anatomy.tv which has been revamped and now features real-time 3d anatomical models that can be explored freely. We‘ll also take a look at some other free anatomy based websites.

Virtual Reality

Using an Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset we will show how it is possible to explore the anatomical structures of the body like never before. We will showcase Organon VR – A VR anatomy app that allows you to explore human anatomy in a very exciting way and some custom experiences we have created ourselves showing the bloodstream on a microscopic scale.

Augmented reality

Virtualitee have released an app that uses augmented reality to view someones anatomy through the lens of a phones or tablets camera. We‘ll show you it in action and let you have a play.

Custom 3D videos and apps

The technical resources team has created a variety of custom anatomy resources for various purposes. We will showcase some of these projects from 3d videos to interactive apps.

Anatomical projection

Using a small portable projector it is possible to project pieces of anatomy onto real body parts or onto mannequins.
