Anatomy Learning Labs: Cardio Lab

Step into the Cardio Lab of the Anatomy Learning Labs series, where science meets wonder inside the engine of human life in stunning 3D. Featuring anatomically accurate models developed by medical professionals and learning activities designed by professors, the Cardio Lab teaches elementary, middle, and high school learners how the heart, blood vessels, and blood flow work together to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

This app leverages the Quest’s audio, visual, and hand-tracking capabilities to deliver truly multimodal and active learning experiences. Students learn by seeing anatomy in 3D, hearing explanations, interacting with structures using their own hands, and developing spatial reasoning skills through guided activities.

• Operate a CT-scanner to reveal how the vascular system aligns with the skeletal system and internal organs.

• Select any structure to hear Dr. Hana Sato, your virtual guide, identify it by name and explain its function.

• Use your own hands to grab and inspect the heart, major blood vessels, and related cardiovascular structures.

• Step into Mini Mode to see the inside of the heart and explore its chambers, valves, and blood flow pathways.

• Assemble the heart in a guided 3D puzzle.

• Test your knowledge through audio-guided quizzes led by Dr. Sato.

• Put your skills to the test in the Knowledge Knockout challenge, where you must quickly identify the correct cardiovascular structure and strike it before time runs out!
