Latest information from College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine department, University of Edinburgh, says about the development of first full colour, animated 3D hologram teaching tool of its kind in the world. Viewed from different angles, the life -sized teaching device shows muscle structures, skeleton, internal organs, blood vessels and nerves.
Currently, visitors to the University's Anatomy Museum will be able to study the new teaching tool, which is the largest anatomical hologram ever made. The 3D image of a female body is made of three synthetic layers and stands 1.7metres high.
"Teaching the true 3D structure of the human body to medical students can be challenging when teaching material is largely all in 2D. We hope that this Hologram and others that we make in future, will introduce our students to a novel and innovative way of visualising 3D anatomy."
This is a major achievement and can help the students to understand the complexity of human anatomy, along with their conventional 2D textbooks. The Hologram was produced in collaboration with University anatomists and Scottish company Holoxica, one of the world's leading research companies in holographic 3D displays.
The hologram was commissioned by the University of Edinburgh's School of Biomedical Sciences. It will go on display at different sites across the University in the coming months.
