Stereoscopy and haptics human eye AR app

The study of anatomy using virtual reality provides examination and navigation features otherwise difficult in real life due to the size and location of what it is being studied. When studying the human eye common medical school resources include illustrations, pictures, mockups and practices on cadavers and advanced simulators. Current technological trends are seeing the employment of 3D technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality as complementary tools to promote learning skills. The human eye is a spherical structure yet when presented in virtual training environments, the eye is typically lacking stereoscopic features making it difficult for the trainees to develop a deep understanding of the eye´s anatomical structure. In this project we discuss the development of a stereoscopic augmented reality app. The app incorporates haptics, and employs traditional means of eye learning and examination using game elements to promote engagement.
