Overtime, the inadequacy and abstraction of conventional teaching materials had been a bane of bringing the interest of students to learning. Likewise, teaching method driven by abstraction may often not seem appealing to the targeted audience. Thus computer-aided teaching such as the use of augmented reality serves as an alternative to effective and efficient teaching. This research presents a 3D anatomical representation of the human digestive system using Augmented Reality (AR) thus creating a paradigm for students to have a better picture and understanding of the human anatomy and how human body parts are connected. Drawbacks such as inaccessibility to cadaver due to ethics/regulations and anxiety/nausea when participating in such sessions can be reduced or controlled using AR through computer-aided graphics to add an additional layer of information for better interaction and understanding. The system also presents a real-time direct or indirect view of a real world environment that has been augmented. Students also get the chance to play quiz game to examine their knowledge on digestive system.
