Abstract

Traditionally veterinary degrees are taught using 2D images which show fixed viewpoints and cadaveric dissections which are an expensive resource and in limited supply. This lack of interactive, educational resources available for veterinary students makes learning the anatomy of different animals difficult. Over the years with the development of innovative technologies, more resources have been developed to aid the learning of medical and veterinarian students. However, these advances have been more prominent in the medical sector. This study aimed to close the gap of technological resources available to veterinary students by creating an educational virtual reality (VR) simulation about the canine vertebral column. This research also aimed to supply a backbone for other applications of its kind to be developed for other areas in veterinary science by providing the methodologies and workflows to design the application. Overall, this research supplies an insight into the difficulties to learning the various anatomies of different animals and provides the building blocks to create solutions for these issues.
