Background

AnatoMe is an experimental project that aims to teach students about human anatomy through an interactive hologram! The initiative was a joint venture funded by USC and Griffith University that included the purchase of a Microsoft HoloLens 2 device. My role in the project was to design and build the prototype that met these initial requirements:

Build a ‘Proof of concept’ multi-level simulation of a human arm using Augmented Reality. Produce an interactive model of an arm from hand to elbow, that when activated, can switch between levels of detail (such as skeletal, blood vessels, muscle, and skin).”

Here are some useful findings when developing in Unreal Engine for the HoloLens 2:

1. Getting started and installing the required plugins
2. Creating a HoloLens 2 project in Unreal Engine
3. Optimising project settings for augmented reality
