A Novel Tabletop and Tablet-Based Display System to Support Learner-Centric Ophthalmic Anatomy Education

摘要

This work couples the use of augmented and virtual reality, a tabletop display, and mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) to develop an innovative, system to support learner-centric anatomy education and training. The system provides a common tabletop interaction surface where a global view of an anatomical model is provided. This global view is available to all of the users (instructor and trainees) whom can interact with the model using the touch-sensitive tabletop display surface. In addition to this global view, each of the trainees has access to the model through a mobile device that is synchronized with the global view and provides each trainee with an individualized (local) view of the scene and interaction mechanisms. This paper outlines our integrated tabletop computer-tablet display and its use to facilitate virtual-based eye anatomy training.
