The LINDSAY Anatomy Explorer is centered around highly detailed anatomy male and female models developed by SciePro<\/a>, a company that punches way above its weight with Sebastian Kaulitzki as their highly ambitious CEO. Both fe\/male models are fully licensed by the university, giving us the flexibility to modify them and create customized teaching & learning scenarios, so that contents can be tailored for specific student engagements or specialized ways of delivery. To maximize accessibility, the app runs directly in a web browser, with support for desktop and mobile devices as well as augmented reality headsets.<\/p>\n Users can interact with the anatomy models by adjusting the visibility of the different body systems, making it easy to focus on what\u2019s most relevant to one’s learning or what an instructor would like to focus on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In its current version, one can also capture high-resolution snapshots of the models in their current state. These scenes can be recalled for presentations and be used to build guided lessons, immersive scenarios, or assignment-based walkthroughs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the models are presented within the Unreal Engine<\/a> game development system, custom modules can be developed to support specific lectures or lab experiences as “digital anatomy worlds” similar to computer games. For example, interactive teaching & learning modules can focus on different aspects of the nervous system, create a walk through the brain, and use the slicing tool that lets users explore the body in cross-section from multiple planes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To further enhance engagement, a built-in tool allows the model to be \u2018exploded,\u2019 separating components to reveal their internal structures in greater detail. <\/p>\n We are currently developing a curated, descriptive database designed to grow over time, with AI integration in mind. Large language models will help enrich the content and allow users to ask questions or explore topics more deeply through conversational AI.<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/8LQo_eFyp0E” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lindsayvirtualhuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LINDSAY-App-Head.png” title_text=”LINDSAY App Head” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lindsayvirtualhuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LINDSAY-App-wt-Elements.png” title_text=”LINDSAY App wt Elements” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] The LINDSAY@BME anatomy app is being developed by a team of teaching professors, researchers, and students, as well as modelling and software developers.
