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
