Virtual
Reality Dissection System Helps Study Anatomy, Spare a
Cadaver (VIDEO)
To help students at University of Michigan to literally immerse themselves in the
Study of
Anatomy, a new
Virtual Reality application has been developed based on a real cadaver. The app works inside the popular

Cadaver and getting close to the relevant details.

Virtual Reality dissector:
