The original Cyber-Anatomy VR™ system was created for doctors in countries where, due to religious beliefs and customs, cadavers are not available. Today, Cyber-Anatomy products transcend global requirements.
By providing a realistic and immersive environment for virtual dissection and exploration of anatomy, teachers and doctors are able to advance their students’ core curriculum and understanding of the Human Body.
Additionally, this technology breakthrough became the catalyst for other learning systems under the Cyber-Anatomy name. Because students are presented with unforgettable discovery of the human anatomy, retention is magnified.
Cyber-Anatomy, founded by two scientists both with their PhD in Engineering, is located in Iowa and is privately held. The company was established on the following principles: 1. quality is vital, 2. interactivity is essential, 3. visuals must be believable and realistic.
Celebrated as the foremost medical illustrator of the human body and how it works, Dr. Frank H. Netter's career as a medical illustrator began in the 1930's when the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company commissioned him to prepare illustrations of the major organs and their pathology. Dr. Netter's incredibly detailed, lifelike renderings were so well received by the medical community that CIBA published them in a book. This first successful publication in 1948 was followed by the series of volumes that now carry the Netter name - The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations. Even 12 years after his death, Dr. Netter is still acknowledged as the foremost master of medical illustration. His anatomical drawings are the benchmark by which all other medical art is measured and judged.
