An AR-Based Multi-User Learning Environment for Anatomy Seminars

Understanding the intricate and rapid changes in shape during embryonic formation is vital for medical students. Using the example of embryonic human heart development, we introduce an AR-based multi-user approach to enhance understanding and foster a participatory learning environment. Through a user-centered approach, we created a prototype accommodating two player roles and enabling multi-modal inputs to encourage dynamic group discussions. We invited four anatomy experts to evaluate three system configurations in an interdisciplinary workshop to assess the feasibility of integration into anatomy seminars. The gathered data and feedback indicate the potential of our collaborative concept for integration into the medical curriculum.
