Abstract

Traditional anatomical models and textbook depictions have long been fundamental to medical education, providing accurate representations of human anatomy. These tools effectively convey structural details and remain essential in foundational training. However, their static nature limits exploration of complex physiological processes and spatial relationships, particularly in dynamic systems like the human heart. This study aims to enhance medical education by developing an interactive 3D model of the human heart within a virtual reality (VR) environment through: • Creating a High-Fidelity, Interactive 3D Model of the Human Heart • Enhancing Spatial and Anatomical Comprehension • Simulating Dynamic Cardiac Functions and Physiological Processes • Improving Learning Outcomes and Knowledge Retention • Supporting Medical Diagnosis Training through Interactive Simulations • Providing Interactive Learning Environments
