Application with augmented reality to improve the teaching and learning of medical students

Abstract

For several years the problem of teaching higher education students has been analyzed. There is little application of emerging technologies despite the fact that this technology is currently being adapted to different areas of knowledge. In the case of medical students, they need to carry out practices for learning the human body, which are carried out in a short time in specialized laboratories. What was done is the application of a system with augmented reality that shows 3D models of the different parts of the human body, with a didactic design, easy to use for the comfort of the student. With this application, students improve their learning through the visualization and interaction of the human anatomy at any time of the day just by having a mobile device. With which a better learning experience was obtained and awakening the greatest interest in the career.
