Abstract

In medical colleges and universities, human anatomy is a basic and important course. Due to complexity of course content and limitation of traditional teaching method, much inner abstract teaching content is hard to describe, and many operations in anatomy experiment of important parts can not be conducted in teaching practice, which makes anatomy teaching and studying more difficult. The appearance and application of virtual reality (VR) technology provides an effective way for anatomy teaching. Through omnidirectional display of human body, VR provides a real, vivid and live learning environment for students and help them obtain the concept and perception of human body's structure and characteristics in a comprehensive and stereoscopic way, which not only solves the teaching difficulty but also arouses students' curiosity, increases their learning interest, implements organic integration and application of modern technology in anatomy teaching and embodies its innovation and practicality. Applying VRT Technology in anatomy teaching can enrich teaching method, set teaching content free of objective condition, deepen the understanding of content on basis of strengthening practical skill and improve efficiency.
