Abstract

The Virtual Human Project is a digital learning tool that gathers the learning of structural and human anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, image diagnostic methods and interactive learning with dynamic digital media, 3D printers, tablets and smartphones. We may highlight three main points of this initiative: the development (modeling of digital objects) of structures in 3D computer graphics, the use of dynamic features (animation) to explain objectively and clearly the physiological and pathophysiological processes and the educational coordination for content organization. In general, the Virtual Human Project interactive resources open up innovative opportunities to improve the learning, since its 3D collection encourages students to observe and analyze videos details, to make association between images and reference texts, to identify the mains points, to customize anatomic objects and even to produce physical 3D anatomical objects with realistic quality using 3D printers. It is the first time in the Brazilian history that we can spread scientific knowledge by internet with a local production of physical objects as we have the 3D printer popularization.
