Muscle Actions – are dynamic displays where you can view elongation and shortening of muscles as well as their impact on the skeletal system or the body as a whole. Cross Sections – which can then be compared to MRIs with anatomical markers.
Gross Anatomy Labs – this is where AR comes to life. There is also a section for saving any custom content that you may want to refer to later. As vision is the most dominant sense for most people, seeing the video content, helps in retention of information. Under views includes 3D photos and videos. Tapping on a featured photo brings up the name (with optional voiced pronunciation), a short description, and potential diagnoses related to that part of the body. Drawing or marking on a model can be done right on the iPad and saved as well as adding a note for future reference or teaching. Each item is tagged and can be faded or dissected for a view of the structures underneath. Standard iPad gestures of zooming in and out, panning, and rotating for view can be assessed on all models. In the visual table of contents, one can search for a specific anatomical model or topic in the search box. In addition, seeing how the body moves on such a detailed level, may give valuable insight into what is obscuring someone’s sense of well-being – and that is why we do what we do – to help others in distress.Īll the controls and features of the 2017 atlas are available on opening so that navigation is a snap. As a clinician, being able to view the systems in their entirety and through its component parts promotes understanding in how the body works in a synchronous manner. Imagine being in an anatomy lab and being able to view a structure from any plane. It is simply breath-taking in its accuracy and detail. In the new edition, Visible Body has added in an Augmentative Reality feature in viewing the various systems and their interrelationships that is groundbreaking and will prove to make a positive impact in how we study and can learn from 3-dimensional structures. Visible body app developer update#
If you already own the 2017 Body Atlas, the update is free which is very generous on the part of the developer considering its new content.
The major update of Visible Body Atlas from 2017 to 2018 is a must-have for all students, Health Care Professionals, and others that are interested in learning about life sciences.
Visible Body Atlas 2018 and frankly, all their A&P apps have always been my go-to reference for exploring the human body and its function.
