Abstract
The HoloLearn project is a sophisticated interactive educational system that attempts to simplify the educational process in the field of medicine, mainly, through the use of Hologram technology. The Hologram technology has been used in conjunction with the feature of user interaction, to take the whole educational process to a completely new level providing students with a different learning experience. The system is more dedicated to medical students as they must study diverse, complicated structures of the human body anatomy and its internal organs. HoloLearn is aimed at replacing the traditional educational techniques with a new one that involves user interaction with real-sized 3D objects. Based on the interview conducted with medical students from different universities and educational levels in Saudi Arabia, and the questionnaire results, it has been found that traditional learning techniques are insufficient/inefficient as they lack quality and most of the criteria that could qualify them to be highly effective as reliable learning materials. Therefore, there is an increasing need for new learning strategies/methods with enough capabilities to give the students the chance to perceive every concept they study, rather than depending on their imagination to picture what a human body looks like from inside, they need visual learning methods. From another perspective, teachers also face difficulties when explaining medical concepts, especially those related to human body structure and behavior. The currently available materials and sources are mostly theoretical. They promote indoctrination and a result-driven approach instead of engaging the students in a process of sharing knowledge and ideas from both parties i.e., teacher and students. In fact, students have to listen and read instead of practicing and exploring, consequently students are prone to loss of concentration and mental distraction during lessons repeatedly, while from another angle they suffer from long study hours and difficulties in retrieving information. The results of this project indicate that when combining the Hologram technology with the user interaction feature, the educational process can be highly improved, and can be much more creative and entertaining.

The world is changing, and technology is contributing to almost everything
HoloLearn proposes a different method of education that www.ijacsa.thesai.org (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol 12, No 1, 2021 does not require the use of real corpses, which is learning by interacting with real-sized 3D objects that simulate the human body organs accurately
Our proposed solution aims at facilitating the educational process with the use of the Hologram technology, which is according to [3] is "a photographic method that records the light dispersed from a body and produces a realistic image identified as threedimensional Hologram", combined with user interaction
Summary
The world is changing, and technology is contributing to almost everything. Starting with the massive growth of the Internet that connected people from all over the world, the use of mobile applications to simplify daily tasks, and ending with the use of Information Technology in almost every field, industrial, medical, agricultural, and educational. Text-based information, images, videos, models, or even Cadavers, which, according to [1], "remain a principal teaching tool for anatomists and medical educators teaching gross anatomy", are known as corpses All these different methods are for the sake of a better understanding of human body structures and different health conditions. Medical students from different levels face problems of distinguishing between different body organs and its functions, understanding muscles‟ movement, body behavior, and how it responds to external stimuli Memorizing all of these details and applying this knowledge when needed would be a very complicated process if not supported by effective learning methods. Using the Hologram technology will give the opportunity to display each organ as a 3D object, show its movement, and allow interaction with it, such as selection, rotation, and zooming This method will provide the students with a better and visually appealing experience, ensure full understanding, and enhance long-term memorization. They are not provided by the university as an official source of education or used by teachers in classes, rather, the students themselves are responsible for searching and finding such applications in order to follow up with the lectures and survive the course, as the traditional techniques are no longer useful enough
