Magic Mirror for Anatomy Learning
Abstract
The "Magic Mirror" is a screen-based Augmented Reality system that allows users to obtain a virtual view inside their own body. By combining techniques such as skeleton tracking, advanced perceptual visualization, and gesture-controlled user interaction, the "Magic Mirror" creates an immersive Augmented Reality experience using simply a Microsoft Kinect camera and a display device. Potential applications of the "Magic Mirror" include interactive anatomy & radiology education, rehabilitation, as well as patient education and information.
