Stereoscopic Augmented Reality Approach for Brain Anatomy Learning: A Literature Review

Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) has a potential as a new generation technology that attracted the attention of educators. The mixed of AR technology in educational content enhance the capability and attractiveness of learning for students in real life. Learning and teaching anatomy is a difficult task, partially due to the complexity of the subject and limitations of traditional pedagogic methods such as lectures, textbooks, laboratory, and anatomical dissections. This paper presents a literature review for further exploration on a stereoscopic augmented reality approach for brain anatomy learning. The intend work is potential users will interact with the system and the 3D model of brain anatomy by using VR box and VR controller. However, implementing 3D model in stereoscopic augmented reality to visualize the inner part of brain anatomy is challenging especially involve interaction between user. The 3D reconstruction based on multi-view will be used to develop high accuracy and moderate level of details that will suit AR visualization.
