## What is BoneBox™?

The BoneBox™ Skull Viewer is compatible with the New iPad and the iPad 2. Due to the extremely high resolution models and textures, this app is not compatible with the first generation iPad.

OVERVIEW
The BoneBox™ Skull Viewer is a real-time 3D medical education tool that features exceptionally detailed anatomical skull models and unique interactive elements. It is the first in a new series of apps developed specifically for the iPad 2 and the New iPad by a team of anatomists, certified medical illustrators, animators, and programmers using actual human CT imaging data, and cutting-edge 3D modeling techniques.

Interaction with the BoneBox™ Skull Viewer utilizes true “real-time 3D”. Unlike other anatomical apps and programs, there are no pre-rendered frames or animations. Therefore, the user can orient the 3D skull in any position and zoom in to any location to explore anatomical structures. 

The BoneBox™ Skull Viewer is appropriate for users at all levels, from secondary students to medical professionals.

FEATURES
• Views: By selecting the “Views” menu he user can interact with sagittal, coronal, and transverse sections of the skull. Color-coded, didactic models clearly show the bones that comprise the skull. 

• Pins: By turning on the color coded pins, the user can study the names and locations of over 100 anatomical structures, including: bones, foramina, and prominent anatomical features. The pins and labels remain on screen and in the exact anatomical location during all real time 3D user interaction.

• Pen tool: Drawing with the multi-colored pen tool allows the user to draw directly on the surface of the 3D skull for use in the clinic, or classroom. 

• Quizzing: The BoneBox™ Skull Viewer an excellent tool for any anatomy lecture or lab. Using the custom pin tool, instructors can place color-coded pins anywhere on the skull. Once placed, the instructor can write a question on the label of that pin. Students can then rotate the skull in 3D to gain a better understanding of that pin’s location on the model.

### 1/5 — oog

*2020-12-18, version 2.1.0*

This app will literally not even open on my ipad.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2017-10-24, version 2.1.0*

It's helping me a lot with dental school anatomy. The pins include a lot and it's awesome that I can add my own pins to include the rest of the information that I have to know. It would be great to show a view with the inside of the cavella, however. Also, the drawing tool could definitely run more smoothly. I have not had any issues with it crashing as of now.

### 5/5 — Please update for IOS 11

*2017-09-23, version 2.0.0*

Please update for IOS 11

### 1/5 — Surges

*2017-05-04, version 2.0.0*

This app is alright, great learning tool. Except it does not have majority or the Fossa or Process'. This app allows you to make your own pins, but it would not save my pins created. Even after pushing save on the different save slots it gives you, still would not save them, and it would surge causing all the pins I made to be deleted. Very frustrating and a lot of time wasted.

### 5/5 — Russian language?🇷🇺

*2015-04-22, version 2.0.0*

Спасибо! Да мало материала, да нет русского, но и платы нет, не забывайте;) Пожалуйста добавьте русский язык

### 5/5 — Estudiantes anatomia

*2015-03-28, version 2.0.0*

Todos las aplicaciones de este desarrollador valen la pena, le he conseguito gratuita y me ha gustado. Seria muy util poder cambiar el idioma, però a pesar de eso puedes agregar tus etiquetas propias.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-03-22, version 2.0.0*

As a non medical person I agree with the positive comments. Really detailed graphics, smooth movement, just turn and move the skull with your finger as if you were holding it in your hand. 

Section views, pins, labels and the ability to add your own pins/labels make this a cool teaching app. 10/10. Execellent app indeed.

### 5/5 — Look so beautiful

*2015-03-19, version 2.0.0*

The details for the skull is amazing.

### 4/5 — Мало

*2015-03-18, version 2.0.0*

Нужно добавить сечения, произвольные.  Гайморову пазуху не видно.

### 2/5 — Great but hard to work with

*2014-10-26*

This app is great for what it is, what it allows you to do, and the price. However, I can never get anything done because it constantly crashes whenever I'm trying to save pins. It's extremely frustrating having to re type points over and over again, in hopes that this will be the magical time that it actually saves. Like I said, what the app has to offer is great and is helping me study, but the constant crashing is something that needs to be fixed ASAP!!!!
