Abstract: Covid-19 pandemic has forced the teaching and learning activity into real time and real-world education meetings. The traditional physical and face-to-face meetings are avoided in accordance to reducing the close physical contacts among individuals. Thus, a new paradigm shift towards teaching and learning needs to be highly enforced. Teaching and learning on medical field especially require for real world anatomy against human or living things body. In response to providing the facility for medical teachers and learners, Gross Anatomy Augmented Reality (GAAR) is introduced. GAAR is an android mobile Augmented Reality (AR) learning tool to assist the educators and learners in internalizing 3D human anatomy with more fun and interactivity. The AR methodology is implied to attract the personal impacts and feelings towards operating of close to ‘real’ organ during anatomy practices. Traditional learning methods are changed with AR technology through small digital device. This application may be able to show the students the actual form of human gross anatomy and assist the teachers or educators’ in explaining the sciences behind human body in more interactive and interesting. Furthermore, this application uses a 3-dimensional object, video and interactive info so that students are interested in using this application. The AR for education and learning is vital in bridging the digital divide among all generations through the conversion of static pictures into real-like 3D animation. The implementation results show that, through the real visualization, small to adult learners can imitate the real truth on human organ and how this can motivate them to take care of their bodies that would lead to a healthier living styles as well as easy memorizing of the subject contents.
