At Case Western Reserve University’s School of Dental Medicine, students face the challenge of mastering anatomy for clinical procedures in just four years. HoloAnatomy®, an immersive 3D anatomy software, complements cadaver study with a virtual anatomy lab that strengthens spatial understanding and clinical confidence.

Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) today announced it has won the 2023 Microsoft Mixed Reality Partner of the Year Award. CWRU and licensing partner AlensiaXR were honored among a global field for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer-solutions based on Microsoft technology.

“From the first moment we saw HoloLens, we knew mixed reality would be a transformational education tool, and we welcome this acknowledgement of the hard work our team put into envisioning, developing and deploying the HoloAnatomy® Software Suite,” said Mark Griswold, professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

“Thanks to this software, anatomy became one of my favorite and strongest subjects,” Ethan says. “HoloAnatomy makes learning about the human body more accessible—something that can be tackled even by someone who’s completely new to the rigors of the medical school curriculum.”

“After more than 30 years of traditional anatomy instruction, my approach to education has been forever transformed by this remarkable holographic teaching tool.“

A glimpse of the future of education.

Virtual learning is democratizing what has been an elite understanding of the human body.

“My intention is to really take this to any class. This is a way online learning or remote learning should really happen. We want them interacting.”
