By providing visualization and interactive 3D
models, it allows students to understand any
abstract concept on any time, at any place
easily.

Problem Statement

5. Objectives
This paper aims to discuss the development
and testing of an augmented reality (AR)
application for teaching as well as learning
anatomy, nervous system, different bones,
eye etc. for human body.

• Final AR mobile app was distributed amongst 63
random college and medical students
• Features include:
Labeled human skeleton
Separately selected chest area
Labeled arm area
Labeled nervous system
Selected eye area
Human brain

9. Algorithm
For this particular paper there weren’t any special
algorithms used. But contrary to algorithms, an extension
of Unity3D named Vuforia is used. We know that Unity3D is
mainly a game engine which is used to make beautiful
2D and 3D games. But the case of this mAR, Vuforia of
Unity3D is used because, Vuforia provides necessary tools
for creating all categories of AR experience. Vuforia
extension was integrated into Autodesk Maya as well as
Unity3D (version 2019, 30a2 (Alpha)) for rendering and
tracking AR. All 3D components (in .fbx file format) were
exported to Unity3D software and incorporated with
Vuforia. Unity3D gives all necessary tools for labeling and
describing objects to provide relevant information to
students.

10. Results

There aren’t any concreate accuracy of
performance mentioned in this paper. What is
present though is the user feedback from 63 different
students. Out of all 63 students, 50% of them strongly
agreed, 40% agreed and 10% gave neutral
feedback that through visualization AR based system
provides better understanding. 35% strongly agreed
and 50% agreed that this system is useful to enhance
their learning. 35% participants strongly agreed, 25%
agreed, 5% neutral, 20% disagreed and 15% strongly
disagreed that this application will be more effective
if it contains more models as well as features.

11. Conclusively the researchers claimed that their application
provides an interactive way for both medical and school level
students to learn and teach complex concepts of human
anatomy and nervous systems. I completely agree with them.
They have applications for both Android and IOS platform with
is very helpful because it reaches to a broad area of
userbase. In fact, I would want them to make a desktop
version of the same application with advanced features that
can work as a simulator in which students can practice and
hone their human anatomical knowledge.
