Virtual Reality (VR) technology enables users to immerse themselves in computer-generated environments, providing experiences that are otherwise difficult to attain in real life. VR has expanded from gaming into diverse fields, even the medical sector. In medical education, VR is mainly employed for anatomy and surgical practice, enhancing the learning experience by offering three-dimensional visualization and interaction with human structures. This article compares various VR anatomical applications, including "VEDAVI VR Human Anatomy", "Sharecare YOU Anatomy", "Everyday Anatomy VR", "3D Organon VR Anatomy", "Anatomy Explorer 2020", and "Human Anatomy VR". The comparison focuses on several aspects: the functions of each application, the accuracy of anatomical descriptions of the models, the depiction of movement and functionality of human body parts, the expression of disease, and other practical considerations such as tutorials, convenience of operation and observation, pricing, and user-friendliness. This study aims to serve as a guide for practical use, recommending the most suitable VR applications for educational purposes in the medical field and providing suggestions for improvement based on the analysis.
虚拟现实（VR）技术使用户能够沉浸在计算机生成的环境中，提供在现实生活中难以获得的体验。VR已从游戏领域扩展到多个领域，甚至医疗领域。在医学教育中，VR主要用于解剖学和外科手术实践，通过提供三维可视化以及与人体结构的交互来增强学习体验。本文比较了各种VR解剖学应用程序，包括“VEDAVI VR人体解剖学”、“Sharecare YOU解剖学”、“日常解剖学VR”、“3D Organon VR解剖学”、“解剖学探索者2020”和“人体解剖学VR”。比较集中在几个方面：每个应用程序的功能、模型解剖学描述的准确性、人体部位运动和功能的描绘、疾病的表达以及其他实际考虑因素，如教程、操作和观察的便利性、定价和用户友好性。本研究旨在作为实际使用的指南，推荐医学领域教育目的最合适的VR应用程序，并根据分析提供改进建议。
