During lockdown, we piloted a variety of augmented reality (AR) experiences
in collaboration with subject matter experts from different fields aiming at
creating remote teaching and training experiences. In this paper, we present a
case study on how AR can be used as a teaching aid for medical education with
pertinent focus on remote and social distanced learning. We describe the
process of creating an AR experience that can enhance the knowledge and
understanding of anatomy for medical students. The Anatomy Experience is an AR
enhanced learning experience developed in collaboration with the Medical School
of the University of Edinburgh aiming to assist medical students understand the
complex geometry of different parts of the human body. After conducting a focus
group study with medical students, trainees, and trainers, we received very
positive feedback on the Anatomy Experience and its effects on understanding
anatomy, enriching the learning process, and using it as a tool for anatomy
teaching.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, 9th International Conference of the Immersive
