Burns School of Medicine<\/a>\u00a0and current pediatrics <abbr>MD<\/abbr> resident, was one of only five overall winners in the <abbr title=\"American College of Physicians\">ACP<\/abbr> National Abstract Research Poster Competition. More than 140 medical student finalists competed.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I was pretty shocked when they called my name,&rdquo; said Hong.<\/p>\n<p>Hong used &ldquo;augmented reality&rdquo; technology in her presentation, producing a detailed image that&#8212;when viewed with a cell phone app&#8212;&ldquo;came alive&rdquo; to illustrate a case of a rare vascular (heart) anomoly. Aberrant right subclavian artery\u00a0is present in rare cases at birth, but it usually does not produce any symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Using my iPhone, I scanned the image during my presentation to trigger the appearance of this 3D< model,\u00a0which I used to describe this common anatomical variant\u00a0we found in the lab,&rdquo; said Hong. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Using augmented reality throughout the presentation was very effective and the physicians and medical students from the other schools loved our project and its applications as much as we do. The judges were so blown away they asked me to present again so they could record it on their phones,&rdquo; said Hong.<\/p>\n<h2>Augmented reality technology proves to be a valuable learning tool<\/h2>\n<p>Augmented reality is a form of technology that can project components of the digital world into a person&#8217;s real world.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> medical students shown the 3D display found it easier to comprehend the subject matter than through customary learning tools in their studies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Clinically the literature is often referred to for further reference, but (most of the literature) lacks 3D representation and thus it is difficult to visualize and increases risk for errors in interpretation. In our project, we used 3D models&#8212;images digitized from actual organs&#8212;then applied various augmented reality tools in hopes to preserve, teach and learn the subject more quickly and effectively,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>See the full story, <a href=\"http:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\/uh-medical-student-earns-top-prize-making-her-anatomical-variant-research-come-alive-through-augmented-reality\/\">go to the John A.
