CWRU launches startup to scale HoloAnatomy learning platform

After years of developing and improving upon a new way to teach human anatomy with holographic imagery, Case Western Reserve University has announced the launch of a startup, AlensiaXR Inc., to scale its product learning platform, the HoloAnatomy Software Suite.​ ​HoloAnatomy, which uses mixed-reality technology to illuminate the human​ ​body in three dimensions through HoloLens, was developed by programmers​ ​and 3D artists at the Interactive Commons, along with CWRU anatomy​ ​faculty. More than 370 CWRU medical students already are using the​ ​technology.

The HoloAnatomy Software Suite also is licensed to a growing network of​ ​institutions, with more than 18 organizations using the platform to attract​ ​students, interest donors, save budgets and provide a more intuitive,​ ​engaging, effective educational experience.
