Traditional acupuncture education relies on 2D diagrams and static models that fail to teach safe needle depth and angular precision. AcuMap transforms this training by using Virtual Reality (VR) to turn subjective guesswork into measurable clinical skill.

Traditional acupuncture education faces a critical challenge: students must learn to locate invisible acupoints and meridians using only 2D textbooks and static models. AcuMap, developed by Medical Augmented Intelligence (MAI), solves this by utilizing Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) to make the invisible visible.

Virtual Anatomy Platforms are interactive 3D software solutions that allow university medical programs to teach human anatomy without the constraints of physical cadaver labs. These tools range from desktop applications to fully immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environments.

Animated Human Body Models are dynamic digital tools that allow medical students to visualize physiological processes in real-time. Unlike static 3D models, animated platforms show movement—such as the cardiac cycle, muscle contraction, or respiratory mechanics.

Moving beyond flat textbook diagrams, Accurate 3D Body Models are transforming medical education by providing anatomically verified, spatially correct digital twins of the human body. Unlike artistic interpretations, these models rely on medical imaging data to ensure true-to-life proportions.

Transitioning from flat textbooks to 3D mastery is essential for modern medical education. This guide reviews the leading human body map apps for 2025, comparing traditional screen-based options against the latest immersive Virtual Reality (VR) tools.

A 3D Body Atlas is a digital visualization tool that allows medical students to explore human anatomy through interactive, rotatable models rather than flat textbook diagrams. These tools are essential for mastering spatial relationships—understanding how nerves, vessels, and organs connect in 3D space.

Virtual Reality (VR) Medical Training is the use of immersive, computer-generated environments to simulate anatomy, surgical procedures, and patient care scenarios. It bridges the gap between 2D textbooks and clinical reality by allowing students to interact with 3D anatomical structures.

Is Virtual Reality (VR) ready to replace the traditional cadaver lab? This guide analyzes peer-reviewed research comparing VR anatomy training against cadaver dissection.

VR Anatomy Learning is an immersive educational method that places medical students inside an interactive, life-size 3D human body. Unlike traditional textbooks or 2D screens, VR allows learners to manipulate organs, trace nerve pathways, and understand complex spatial relationships by physically moving around them.

BodyMap 3.4, where we added various new contents and optimized existing ones in our courses, 3D male model, animation, and organ cross-sections.

BodyMap 3.3, where we boosted “usability” and “sociability” to the next level by upgrading it with the slicing and web browsing tools, which will be introduced below.

Take a look at how metaverse and healthcare are transforming the lives of both physicians and patients in areas of training, education, and treatment.‍

BodyMap 3.2 update: added 2D images, 3D animations, and hundreds more 3D body structures to Jack, our virtual human model in BodyMap.

Take a look at how VR in healthcare has been helping pregnant women suffer less during childbirth, children with cerebral palsy (CP) improve their mobility, and patients understand their health conditions at a deeper level.

Take a look at virtual reality used in medicine, more specifically how it helps doctors and future doctors.‍

This case study is inspired by patient data taken directly from the Soft-tissue Sarcoma Collection within The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), a service that hosts an archive of publicly accessible de-identified cancer medical images.

A case study of a man diagnosed with HPV-positive base of tongue carcinoma, detailing his medical history, diagnosis, treatment plan, and successful recovery over a 7-year follow-up period.

Explores the use of VR technology in higher education for immersive, remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
