Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNIP,volume 8853)

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to solve problems related to augmented three dimensional training environments for veterinary anatomy studies. Target group is veterinary medicine students. Project is inter-disciplinary bringing together information technologies and medicine. Practical approbation is based on a dog skeleton prototype and development of highly immersive visualization platform for veterinary studies with one to one scale and passive tactile feedback.
