Medical students often struggle with understanding complex anatomical structures through traditional textbooks and 2D images. Our AR Medical Study Tool addresses this problem by providing an interactive, 3D visualization of the heart and liver, allowing students to explore these organs in detail. By using AR, students can rotate, zoom, and examine the models from different angles, creating a more immersive and hands-on learning experience. This helps bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world anatomical understanding, making the learning process more intuitive and efficient.
We faced a few key challenges during the development of the project:
Model Accuracy: Ensuring that the heart and liver models were detailed and anatomically accurate to serve educational purposes.
AR Compatibility: Making the application compatible with different AR platforms (ARCore for Android and ARKit for iOS) to provide a seamless experience across devices.
Optimization: Handling the rendering of complex 3D models in real-time while ensuring smooth performance, especially on lower-end devices.
User Experience: Designing an intuitive interface that allowed students to easily interact with the models without requiring a steep learning curve.
To overcome these challenges, we worked closely with educational resources and optimized the models for real-time performance without sacrificing detail.
