Abstract

Abstract. Recently, digital tools have become increasingly popular in the study of human anatomy due to their ability to create interactive, three-dimensional models of anatomical structures and systems, as well as to simulate complex physiological processes. Virtual reality (VR) technology has attracted considerable attention in anatomy education because of its potential to create immersive and realistic learning experiences. The purpose of this scientific article is to discuss the implementation of innovative methods using digital tools such as sensor panels specifically, VR technology, in the study of human anatomy. The article describes how a VR-based anatomy course that combines traditional teaching methods with digital tools like virtual dissection, interactive lectures, and collaborative learning affects the quality of teaching. The VR-based anatomy course aims to provide students with an engaging learning experience, and it uses a VR headset to allow students to explore virtual anatomical models in a three-dimensional environment. These models are created using high-resolution medical imaging data, providing a level of detail and accuracy that traditional teaching methods cannot achieve. Interactive lectures allow students to ask questions and receive immediate feedback from the teacher, while collaborative learning activities encourage students to share knowledge and expertise. The use of touchscreen panels and VR technology has also been shown to improve the retention and recall of information, as well as enhance spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. The VR-based anatomy course presented in this article provides an excellent example of how VR technology can be effectively integrated into anatomy education to provide an immersive and effective learning experience. While further research is necessary, these findings suggest that VR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn about the human body.
