Midwifery is one of the oldest professions in history, and now it is being taught like never before.
A team from the University of Newcastle has adopted virtual reality technology to give future midwives a comprehensive view of the internal stages of child bearing and its effects on the body.
Using mixed-reality headsets, students are able to bring up a 3D image of a pregnant woman in front of them and easily manipulate it to anatomically reflect various stages, conditions and complications.
