In this paper, we propose a visualization framework for mouse anatomical cardinal planes and axes by extending an open-source platform called "3DTracker-FAB" and demonstrate its capability towards augmentation. Previously, the 3DTracker-FAB was only able to determine the mouse anatomical model, showing its head, neck, trunk, hip, and nose. We enhance the software to include body axes and planes of the subject in relation to its anatomical model. This work will help scientist working with animals since anatomical axis and planes are used for describing motion, and anatomical location.
