XR is a catch-all category that encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). XR faces adoption hurdles due to its nascent development; consumers and businesses alike are grappling with concerns about cost, comfort, content, and compatibility, impeding the incorporation of XR into existing workflows and routines. Find out why this is one of the most important inventions in our lifetime.…

AlensiaXR, a technology company launched by Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), today announced the completion of its Series A funding round to accelerate development and delivery of its HoloAnatomy® learning platform. The software revolutionizes anatomical instruction by leveraging advanced holographic technology, reducing the need for costly, resource-intensive cadaver labs.

An informative journey into the Future of Anatomy webcast series brought to you by HoloAnatomy® with guests from California Health Sciences University (CHSU) and A.T. Still University.

As always, the moment faculty and students put on the HoloLens, the room filled with sounds of amazement!

“I didn’t expect HoloAnatomy to be this amazing and easy to pick up!” —NDCL teacher Maureen Wahl

When you first put on the lens, you're struck by the detail and the ability to engage with the model in front of you. It stimulates questions. It sparks intrigue. It enables you to customize what you’re looking at and switch to something else on a dime. And that level of flexibility—from a teaching and learning perspective—is the way of the future and ahead of its time.

We feed off students’ excitement, and they were just oohing and ahhing. We had described HoloAnatomy to students. Of course, it’s not the same as putting the device on your head for the first time and seeing the models pop up in the room and being able to walk around them. We have this new space where we run lab sessions, a big open room with glass doors, and people walking by could witness the excitement of our students. It's a lot of fun. Our Dean came in and walked around and got to experience it. The HoloAnatomy experience creates a lot of joy and excitement at ATSU.

What an opportunity: To evolve medical education by replacing costly cadavers with 3D holograms. There's no going back once you experience the immediacy and “WOW” factor of learning anatomy through an interactive hologram!

“Thanks to this software, anatomy became one of my favorite and strongest subjects,” Ethan says. “HoloAnatomy makes learning about the human body more accessible—something that can be tackled even by someone who’s completely new to the rigors of the medical school curriculum.”

Mixed Reality blends real-world environments with digital content, both co-existing and interacting in real time. And it is this unique ability that makes MR ideal for immersive, interactive experiences like learning human anatomy—HoloAnatomy software is designed to work with any MR headset.

“Thanks to this software, anatomy became one of my favorite and strongest subjects,” Ethan says. “HoloAnatomy makes learning about the human body more accessible—something that can be tackled even by someone who’s completely new to the rigors of the medical school curriculum.”

“After more than 30 years of traditional anatomy instruction, my approach to education has been forever transformed by this remarkable holographic teaching tool.“
