Resumen
[EN]Virtual Reality is becoming widespread in our society
within very different areas, from industry to entertainment.
It has many advantages in education as well, since it
allows visualizing almost any object or going anywhere in a
unique way. We will be focusing on medical education, and
more specifically anatomy, where its use is especially interesting
because it allows studying any structure of the human
body by placing the user inside each one. By allowing virtual
immersion in a body structure such as the interior of the cranium,
stereoscopic vision goggles make these innovative
teaching technologies a powerful tool for training in all areas
of health sciences. The aim of this study is to illustrate the
teaching potential of applying Virtual Reality in the field of
human anatomy, where it can be used as a tool for education in
medicine. A Virtual Reality Software was developed as an
educational tool. This technological procedure is based
entirely on software which will run in stereoscopic goggles
to give users the sensation of being in a virtual environment,
clearly showing the different bones and foramina which make
up the cranium, and accompanied by audio explanations.
Throughout the results the structure of the cranium is described
in detailed from both inside and out. Importance of
an exhaustive morphological knowledge of cranial fossae is
further discussed. Application for the design of microsurgery
is also commented.
