Project Overview
This project presents an immersive VR-based neuroanatomy learning system that integrates gamification and AI-augmented learning to make medical education more interactive and memorable.
Learners can explore a 3D life-sized brain, interact with different regions, and experience dynamic visualizations, AI-generated illustrations, and simulated case studies. The project emphasizes spatial memory, contextual understanding, and active engagement.
Neuroanatomy is widely recognized as one of the most challenging subjects in medical education. Students must not only memorize over 140 distinct brain structures but also understand their intricate 3D spatial and functional relationships. Studies show that around 70% of medical students experience significant difficulty when learning neuroanatomy, often developing “neurophobia”—anxiety caused by cognitive overload. Traditional resources like 2D atlases and slices fail to convey spatial depth, making it difficult to construct accurate mental models. As a result, learners struggle to retain and apply anatomical knowledge beyond short-term recall.
