  • Abstract
    This short paper proposes the development of three different applications for health education with the aid of Augmented Reality. Some figures of current development prototipes are also show and future works are proposed. We expect these applications will help extend health education to students´ homes from all educational stages and expect to minimize some problems related to anatomy education in college, such as costs for obtaining corpses and lack of skilled professionals.
