Virtual reality facilitates exploration of complex anatomy without costly cadavers. Our VR program allows participants to directly manipulate 3-D structures. There are mixed prior results comparing direct manipulation to passive viewing. We show clear advantages for direct manipulation beyond passive viewing. Our results are congruent with an embodied perspective of learning.
