2. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
• The human heart is an organ that provides a continuous blood
circulation through the cardiac cycle and is one of the most vital
organs in the human body.
• The heart is divided into four main chambers: the two upper
chambers are called the left and right atria (singular atrium)
and two lower chambers are called the right and left ventricles.
• Blood flows through the heart in one direction, from the atria to
the ventricles, and out of the great arteries, or the aorta.
• In order to view the operations of the human heart as regards
the pumping of the human blood without cutting open a human
being, the use of computer visualization technique is required.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMSTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• Students generally experience challenges
with grasping the required knowledge
about various organs of the body due to
in-availability of non-static three
dimensional representation of human
organs. The need to integrate three
dimensional visualisation tools as a
regular part of educational programmes
arises.

4. AIM OF THE PROJECTAIM OF THE PROJECT
• To develop three dimensional
visualizations for educational use
and integrate the three
dimensional visualizations in
various learning situations in
regular health care curricula.

5. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECTOBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
I. Design a three dimensional visualization
system.
II. Implement a prototype of the three
dimensional visualization system.
III. Evaluate the prototype system.

6. SCOPE AND CONTEXT OF THE PROJECTSCOPE AND CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT
• This work will focus on visualizing
the human cardiovascular system
(heart) as regards the flow of blood
in/out of the heart and the blood
vessels involved in the circulation
of blood in the human body.

12. CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
• In this project, we explored the possibility
of using open source software for
building a visualization tool. At the end of
this project, it is certain that three
dimensional visualization tools will serve
as an efficient way of improving
educational learning process.

13. CONTRIBUTIONS TO KNOWLEDGECONTRIBUTIONS TO KNOWLEDGE
• Three dimensional models provides options
to view the experiment from any angle
thereby helping the user's comprehension.
• This project has proven the usefulness of
open source technology for the development
of visualisation tools.
• Also, a feasible application of computer
graphics is seen within the field of medical
visualization.
