Visuo-haptic learning of the inner ear: using the optical glyphs and augmented reality of the InvisibleEar©™

Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

The anatomy of the inner ear is small and intricate. It is a complex area to describe with traditional teaching tools such as prosections and illustrations. The InvisibleEar mobile application (app) designed for teaching, uses a handheld mobile tablet device equipped with an integrated camera, and applies digital 3D models of the anatomical structure visually superimposed over illustrations or physical models thus highlighting hidden information or negative space.
