Digitising Juvenile Crania: The Creation of a 3D Anatomy Learning Tool

摘要: Anatomical specimens can be digitised and incorporated into interactive learning applications using modern visualisation techniques. This allows for the preservation safekeeping of original historical specimens, while at same time facilitating much wider access to these materials. is particularly important within a higher education setting, as 3D models are believed aid student understanding complex anatomical structures in way not conferred by 2D textbook images traditional teaching. Historical from University Glasgow’s Anatomy Museum were creation tool help students better understand growth development juvenile cranium. The aim this research was assess whether could provide useful teaching Anatomy-based subjects, more complex, non-static, subjects such development. A group 12 anatomy trialled application overall feedback received positive. majority participants strongly agreed that app helped them learn about human skull they positively rated use position structure features on Further required if type provides an advantage cranial over methods.
