ABSTRACT
With increasing digitalization in healthcare, there is growing potential for the use of Mixed Reality (MR) in medicine. In response to this, we developed a course to provide students with hands-on experience in MR and familiarize them with the technology. Utilizing the HoloLens 2, we designed an application enabling multiple users to interact with virtual objects overlaid on the real world and shared across devices. We used 3D heart anatomy models to let students discuss cardiovascular diseases together. We conducted a preliminary evaluation of our prototype, involving ten participants. The first test indicated a positive reception of the course, with students expressing keen interest in MR. With this work we share our experience to contribute to the field of MR applications.
