Brief Summary: Cadaver use in anatomy education is undergoing several limitations in many universities due to high costs time constraints and supply difficulties As alternatives to cadaver dissections new teaching methods based on visual technologies such as augmented reality AR are being implemented worldwide

Augmented reality AR based on virtual interactive 3-dimensional elements holograms overlaid in the real-world represents a promising alternative to explore the human body In this study we will test the efficacy of AR as an alternative teaching method in anatomy education by comparing traditional learning methods based on 2-dimensional 2D images videos and online learning programs with the novel AR learning module The primary endpoint will consist of the score in the final theoretical and practical knowledge tests assessed at two timepoints immediately after the study session and after 3 months

Secondary endpoints will include adverse health symptoms and user experience assessed immediately after the study session
Detailed Description: Cadaver use in anatomy education is undergoing several limitations in many universities due to high costs time constraints and supply difficulties As alternatives to cadaver dissections new teaching methods based on visual technologies such as augmented reality AR are being implemented worldwide

Augmented reality AR based on virtual interactive 3-dimensional elements holograms overlaid in the real-world represents a promising alternative to explore the human body In this study we will test the efficacy of AR as an alternative teaching method in anatomy education Our hypothesis is that learning with AR is more efficient than traditional learning methods

Preparation We will prepare 2 fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens to allow visualization of anatomical structure of the shoulder and hips The cadavers will be obtained from a human body donated for university teaching activities Using a digital single-lens reflex camera we will acquire several images These images will be then converted into a 3D model by the ROCS team at Balgrist University Hospital and optimized for use with the Magic Leap AR headset

Procedure Participants approx 300 will be randomly assigned to the AR or the traditional learning TL group Each participant will learn one anatomy module with traditional learning methods which will include books access to websites 3D videos and online learning programs and one module with the AR-based learning program The two modules will be administered approximately 3 weeks apart

Group A Shoulder anatomy with traditional learning methods and hips anatomy with AR based 3D program

Group B Shoulder anatomy with AR based 3D program and hips anatomy with traditional learning methods

The primary endpoint will consist of the score in the final theoretical and practical anatomy tests assessed at two timepoints immediately after the study session and after 3 months

Secondary endpoints include adverse health symptoms assessed with a Likert scale survey and user experience evaluated using an adapted NASA Task Load Index scale plus additional questions
