Veterinary students at the University of Guelph are now using a virtual reality (VR) simulation tool to help learn about dog and cow anatomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The technology \u2013 believed to be the first use of VR for teaching anatomy at a Canadian veterinary college \u2013 allows students to move around virtually inside an animal\u2019s body.

Clicking a button allows users to strip away overlying bone to focus on internal organs and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
