They developed the Virtuali-tee T-shirt, through which you can see the inner parts of the human body through realistic holograms. Virtuali-tee brings anatomy to life to such a point of illusion which already presents Arthur C. Clarke’s famous third law. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ed Barton, CEO and Co-founder of Curiscope, told The Medical Futurist at the time of our first review that they started the company with the belief that AR would let humans re-imagine how they learn difficult scientific concepts. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“\u003Cem>Biology and natural sciences at school just seemed so complex and abstract that they felt hard to relate to. As an adult, I realise how ridiculous that is, but as a child, I really struggled to get into them\u003C\u002Fem>,” he said. The Virtuali-tee is their attempt at compensating for that by offering students as well as adults the option of learning about the human body without the need for a cadaver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The incredibly popular teaching tool is already present in over a thousand schools and more than a hundred countries. Curiscope’s biggest markets are English-speaking countries (US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada), but it is also popular in Brazil and Germany.

Dr. Meskó bought an adult T-shirt, and he had no size-related trouble. Upon having received the T-shirt and having the app downloaded – with a remarkably user-friendly interface -, it is fairly easy to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The sign on the T-shirt is a QR code. When the user points the camera of the accompanying smartphone to the skeletal pattern worn by another person while the app is open, the app detects it and starts an anatomy animation\u003C\u002Fstrong>. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, you have to be careful that the T-shirt is not creased because the app cannot recognise the code then. Also, it does not work from very long distances – pointing the phone to the T-shirt works best from a maximum of two steps backward; and it loses the connection fairly quickly if you aim with your device in other directions than the T-shirt itself. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, the app works if you switch your smartphone to ‘selfie-mode’ so you can wear the T-shirt, hold out your hands with the phone and see the AR-organs. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Virtuali-tee works with many types of Android and iOS smartphones, tablets or other platforms – and for a more genuine experience, you can also try it with a VR headset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\u003Ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My Organs In Augmented Reality! - The Medical Futurist\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002FVXBks60oKw4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Get into the virtual intestines\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The real adventures begin when you open the app and start seeing organs.

Ed Barton told The Medical Futurist that “\u003Cem>it was built around the idea of hands eventually becoming your AR interaction device.\u003C\u002Fem> ‘Hands’ became ‘Hans’ and with an open body nearby, he had to be wearing gloves. Hence ending up on our wacky doctor name, Hans Glover. \u003Cem>He’s an animated character that serves as your guide, important in AR where often information is best delivered through audio.\u003C\u002Fem> Funnily, he has a bit of an accent, so we have a lot of people confusing him with Die Hard super-villain Hans Gruber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He indeed has an accent, which Curiscope might need to reconsider if it wants children to pay attention to their content more – they might use the app for longer if Hans Glover didn’t have the accent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, \u003Cstrong>the app works smoothly – you can go through the anatomy of the digestive, respiratory, skeletal, renal,\u003C\u002Fstrong> and circulatory systems, get into the intestines or inside the blood vessels, and \u003Cstrong>learn and read a lot about their workings\u003C\u002Fstrong>.
