ANATOMY IN AR
Explore anatomy models in AR
OUR MODELS
LIBRARY
Explore a range of pre-installed annotated models, such as a comprehensive atlas of human anatomy featuring bones, muscles, and vasculature, along with a detailed animated model of the human heart.
ANIMATION
Models can be fully animated based on blend shapes. Users have full control over animation speed and playback.
SIMULATION
Import and view simulation data in the app. Essential Vision supports flow, displacement and turbulence simulations.
CREATE YOUR OWN
Import your own static or animated models from VTK files or Unity assets.
NAVIGATION
GESTURES
Interact with models using intuitive hand gestures.
LAYERS
Move, scale, and manipulate individual model layers. Explore and add annotations directly in the model.
LOOK INSIDE
Look inside models with a movable intersecting plane and by adjusting the transparency of individual layers.
MRI DATA
Within the app, directly overlay MRI data onto the corresponding models for enhanced visualization.
SHARED EXPERIENCE
COLLABORATE
Connect multiple devices to interact with models at the same time. Use teacher and student roles for the classroom setting.
SIMPLE CONNECTION
Connect devices locally by scanning a QR code, or remotely by joining a session with a unique meeting ID.
GUIDED LEARNING
COURSES
Follow guided courses to explore models at your own pace. Use quizzes to assess students' comprehension in a personalized learning experience
INTERACTION
A variety of interactive question types require students to actively engage with the anatomical model.
CREATE YOUR OWN
Generate automated courses that lead through an annotated model. A companion app for creating custom courses and quizzes will be added in the future.
