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.

“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.“
