Segmented and detailed visualization of anatomical structures for health education

The evolution of technology has changed the face of education, especially when combined with appropriate pedagogical bases. This combination has created innovation opportunities in order to add quality to teaching through new perspectives for traditional methods applied in the classroom. In the Health field, particularly, Augmented Reality techniques can assist the teacher in the exposition of theoretical concepts and/or concepts that need of training at specific medical procedures. Thus, this work presents the research of aspects related to the use of Augmented Reality as a tool for teaching anatomy, with the proposition of an mobile application that can display targeted anatomical parts in high resolution and wih detail of its parts. Human-computer interaction is especially valued in the proposed solution.
