Version: 1.0

Overview:

This application is a powerful reference tool that allows the user to zoom in and identify an individual bone or part of a bone within the full skeleton. It has been designed to accommodate medical professionals as well as medical students from basic to advanced level of anatomical medical knowledge.

Features:

Ability to zoom in and identify any region, bone or bone part.
Ability to rotate the bone or region for anterior, lateral, posterior and medial, inferior and superior where appropriate. X-Ray and Skin views also available.
Over 350 hi-quality 3-Dimensional images of the bone. A full anatomical description of all 1,200 bone parts (with Latin names).
A dual index that can search in both Latin and English.
Ability to test yourself with a fun Quiz function.

How to use:

The user is presented with a hi-quality 3D model/image of the full skeleton. The user can zoom in to any area - by taping on a region - taping again will zoom in further - eventually the user will have zoomed into a individual bone or bone part. The user can then identify the parts by pressing on the flags. Each label is in English and in Latin and by pressing on the 'i' icon the
user can access additional information on a label. There is also a super Magnification Mode that greatly magnifies a bone part allowing the user to press on flags that are close together!

Index:

The application can also be used as a visual reference tool by using the index: By simply selecting a English or Latin name from the index - the application will show the user where it is located - i.e by slowly zooming into the appropriate region and finding and labelling the item you requested.

Views:

Through the appliction - even as the user is zooming in - the user can get different views, including x-ray or skin view and of course the anatomical views: anterior, lateral, posterior and medial, inferior and superior where appropriate.

Quiz:

This is a handy and fun testing tool - the user is asked which area they would like to be tested on - and then the application asked them to zoom in and identify parts of the skeleton.
