Augmented Reality Systems for Training Health Care Providers

Responding to trauma cases effectively requires an understanding of underlying anatomy and pathologies. A training system can help develop a student's understanding by displaying the internal anatomy in a meaningful context--the context of an actual patient. Augmented Reality provides exactly this type of visualization, showing computer generated images in a real-world context. ToLTech proposes to enhance the effectiveness of mannequin-based training simulators with Augmented Reality, utilizing our experience in building and interacting with virtual anatomy.
