Abstract

AbstractVeterinary students at the Royal Veterinary College, University of London learn about bovine abdominal anatomy using a virtual reality simulator, the Haptic Cow. A haptic device is positioned inside a fiberglass model of the rear‐half of a cow, allowing students to palpate virtual abdominal structures via a robotic arm. The Haptic Cow helps to address some of the practical and ethical issues around sourcing and using cadavers and live animals in teaching. Kinnison and her co‐authors discuss use of this simulator in anatomy classes in the current issue of ASE.
