Primal VR Case Study

Imagine an anatomy course where students can step right into the human body through virtual reality. Where participants travel down the spinal column and explore the chambers of the heart - experiencing the human body in a truly memorable way.

Curiious and Primal Pictures partnered to completely transform human anatomy education with Primal VR, the world’s most medically accurate virtual reality anatomy teaching and learning tool.

Primal VR combines unparalleled flexibility – working on any tethered virtual reality headset – with real scan data underpinned by advanced academic research, hundreds of thousands of development hours and an exhaustive peer review process.

With the ability to investigate a vast catalogue of best-in-class 3D scenes and inspect each element of the structure while listening to the accurate pronunciation of every element, students have been provided the opportunity to learn anatomy in an immersive environment that improves engagement and retention.

The program was made available to students at The University of Adelaide’s Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences where they’ve found the use of Primal VR not only provides proficiency through repetition but also lowers laboratory running costs in relation to cadavers and medical supplies. Assessment outcomes have been boosted too as this immersive approach to learning ignites excitement, aiding in retention and recall.
