The aim of this project is to develop a 3D educational mobile application to help high school students and anyone without a medical background to understand the human femur bone and its potential shaft fracture. The application provides interactive and immersive visualisations of the femur bone, common types of fractures, and their corresponding treatment options. The application is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to everyone, providing a comprehensive and engaging educational resource. The project utilised technologies such as Blender to create the 3D models, Unity to develop the application and Firebase for the backend infrastructure. The application was tested and evaluated by a group of users without a medical background, who provided valuable feedback to enhance the user experience. Overall, this project provides a novel approach to the educational field and has the potential to increase the awareness of femoral shaft fractures among non-medical professionals, promoting a better understanding of human anatomy and injuries.
