Primal Pictures, a firm out of London, England, has won an award for the finest educational entry of the year at the 34th annual Freddie Awards, but you probably know it better as the international health and medical education media awards…ahhh, didn’t think so!
Featuring 3D interactive human anatomy, folks at Primal Pictures have developed beautiful software titles for medicine, surgery and dentistry. They have also released software demonstrating the anatomy of pilates and a title for acupuncturists.
Here’s what the company says about its award winning 3D Head & Neck Anatomy with Special Senses and Basic Neuroanatomy software:
