Three dimensional interactive virtual anatomy laboratory design and its application

Three dimensional modeling and simulation software are becoming more widespread in medical applications. Enabling the user to view the 3D models of biological tissues and materials, to interact with the models with the ability to observe the reaction of the models to different force loading conditions in a virtual environment are the main properties of these kind of software. In addition to these properties, the graphical user interface enables the user to easily interact with the software and access its properties. These software specifications present an opportunity to understand the physical and mathematical reasons of dynamical processes in addition to presenting a visual learning environment to the researchers in health sciences. Considering above and the expectations of Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, the development of a software that will allow the user to view and to interact with the anatomical models in addition to observing the responses of the models under different force loading conditions and material properties in real time, and hardware platform development has been aimed.
