3D modeling is becoming a well-developed field of medicine, but its\napplicability can be limited due to the lack of software allowing for easy\nutilizations of generated 3D visualizations. By leveraging recent advances in\nvirtual reality, we can rapidly create immersive anatomical scenes as well as\nallow multiple users to occupy the same virtual space: i.e., over a local or\ndistributed network. This setup is ideal for pre-surgical planning and\neducation, allowing users to identify and study structures of interest. I\ndemonstrate here such a pipeline on a broad spectrum of anatomical models and\ndiscuss its applicability to the medical field and its future prospects.3D\nmodeling is becoming a well-developed field of medicine, but its applicability\ncan be limited due to the lack of software allowing for easy utilizations of\ngenerated 3D visualizations.
