Virtual Reality Boosts Anatomy Education: New Study Highlights 3D Organon’s Impact
A recent study from the Universidad Adventista de Centroamérica (UNADECA) in Costa Rica highlights how virtual reality (VR) is transforming anatomy and physiology education. Published in Elsevier, the research titled “Impact of Virtual Reality on the Learning of Anatomy and Physiology” was led by Walter Colindres, Jairo Martínez, and Dodanim Castillo.
The study demonstrated that VR tools, specifically 3D Organon, significantly enhanced student learning by offering immersive, 3D anatomical experiences. By interacting with virtual organs and systems, students were able to visualize complex anatomical structures in ways traditional methods cannot offer.
Key Findings from the Study:
-
Improved Student Engagement: VR-based learning increased focus and interest.
-
Enhanced Knowledge Retention: Interactive 3D models reinforced theoretical concepts.
-
Hands-On Learning: Students benefited from manipulating virtual anatomy in real time.
3D Organon served as the central platform for this immersive learning experience, offering a comprehensive VR anatomy solution used globally in medical and allied health education. This research supports the growing body of evidence that immersive technologies can significantly enhance learning outcomes in health sciences.
“Virtual reality is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s a practical tool for education today,” said the research team. “3D Organon helped us deliver a deeply engaging and effective learning experience.”
As educational institutions continue to adopt VR in medical education, tools like 3D Organon are poised to play a central role in shaping the future of anatomy and physiology instruction.
