The education in medical field requires both theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. It is important for medical student to acquire effective practical skills. Since the students apply the theoretical knowledge in practical manner in human body. Human body is very volatile, gentle, and difficult system. If a student apply trial in the humans for practical knowledge, there may cause the human error which leads to death of the person. To avoid this, the proposed system “Augmented Reality Based Medical Education” is useful. Augmented reality makes the learning process more interactive and interesting. It can reproduce specific circumstances that assist students to rehearse with virtual objects that look like the human body and organ. Like traditional learning, it does not require real patients. By this way, augmented reality prevents risk of human life. Medical education with augmented reality extensively provides real time experiences. It has low risks and also affordable. When any human error occurs, there is no human loss. So the human life can be prevented by the system. The proposed system is developed using tools like Unity which is the complete platform for the developing our application, Vuforia-developer portal, a tool to create image target and Blender which is used to create 3D objects.
