Abstract :
This paper presents a virtual reality system that allows a user to learn accurately mimic 3D temporal bone and ear anatomy. The computer-based system simulator is helpful to medical students in identifying the anatomic structures on the view of the auditory system. The surgical training system simulator can be effectively used to anatomic training and teaching at all levels of education.
