Learning anatomy with augmented reality: a crossover trial
This study tests if using an augmented reality (AR) headset helps medical students learn anatomy better than traditional methods. You'll try both approaches and see which one works best for you.

This study compares two ways of teaching anatomy to first-year medical students: using virtual reality headsets versus traditional classroom methods. Researchers want to see which approach helps students learn better and feel more confident about anatomy.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help anaesthesia trainees learn anatomy better than traditional methods. If you are a resident in an anaesthesia training program, you may be eligible to take part.
This trial tests a new treatment for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) that combines brain stimulation with a special vision game using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye.
This study checks whether an augmented-reality (AR) headset program can be safely used and how well it works for rehabilitation after mild to moderate acquired brain injury. It may help by making therapy practice more engaging and easier to carry out during rehab.
This study tests if virtual reality (VR) training helps third-year medical students learn anesthesia skills better during their rotation. It compares using a VR simulation to standard training methods.
This study tests whether an immersive 360-degree video can improve how well first- and second-year medical students learn spatial orientation (finding locations and understanding layout). It may help you practice navigating a hospital more easily without relying on in-person prior experience.
