Virtual reality technology allows a better visualization of these three-dimensional structures than conventional media because it supports stereo vision, viewer-centered perspective, large angles of view, and interactivity. Two or more ImmersaDeskTM systems, drafting table format virtual reality displays, are networked together providing an environment where teacher and student share a high quality three-dimensional anatomical model, and are able to converse and to point in three dimensions to indicate areas of interest. This project was realized by the teamwork of otologic surgeons, medical artists and sculptors, computer scientists and computer visualization experts.
