body into an interactive 4D experience of human anatomy. Visually stunning and completely
interactive, Anatomy 4D uses augmented reality and other cutting edge technologies to create
the perfect vehicle for 21st century education. So much more than an app, the Anatomy 4D
experience takes viewers on a journey inside the human body and heart, revealing the spatial
relationships of our organs, skeleton, muscles, and body systems. This simple-to-use 3-
dimensional learning environment is great for use in the classroom, or anytime.
Designed by DAQRI, the Anatomy 4D app enables you to:
• Learn about and explore the human body and heart in intricate detail
• Highlight various organ systems individually, so for instance, you can focus on just the
skeletal, muscular, or respiratory system
