Getting up your nose: a virtual reality education tool for nasal cavity anatomy

This article explores the application of virtual reality (VR) to the area of anatomical education, specifically the shape of and the airflow through the human nasal cavity. We argue the benefits of VR technology in this specific domain, and describe the creation of the VR application which is intended to be used in future courses. Through two preliminary case studies, we describe our experiences, and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the use of VR in this area.
