Abstract
In this paper we present an inexpensive Mixed Reality software tool for training medical students in anatomy. The software integrates the ARToolkit and Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to create a novel interactive environment in which the user can manipulate the position and orientation of the volume rendering using a plastic model of the organ to be observed. The volume rendering can then be clipped relative to an arbitrary plane to reveal data from its interior, using a second prop.
