| Popis | The global COVID-19 pandemic has prevented people from continuing their normal lives, which impacted the way we communicate and learn. Medical visualization and art were omnipresent during the pandemic and started with giving face to the common problem, the virus. Advice on preventative measures and symptoms in public spaces often utilized infographics. People used medicine-inspired images to express their situation. The next stage that visualization aided with was bringing training to people’s homes as the second next best thing to get an adequate education. The need to continue education and training of experts in the medical field was continued, thanks to the upheaval of new ways of learning anatomy through digital media. These went beyond textbooks, and included new medical animations, interactive applications, and the use of immersive realities. The testament of their success is continuation of their use as a compliment to hands-on approach in education as part of the curriculum even once the restrictions were curbed. This paper focuses on how different types of medical visualization, that combine art and technology, helped people identify, communicate, cope, and learn during the pandemic and beyond. |
