Acupuncture and moxibustion method based on mixed reality technology

Abstract

The invention discloses an acupuncture and moxibustion method based on a mixed reality technology. The method comprises the steps that (1), surface scanning modeling is conducted on an entity chest image by using a 3D scanner, and a virtual chest image model is manually adjusted and improved on unity software; (2), marks are embedded in the virtual chest image model in order to achieve the purposeof interaction with the reality, and the marks can be replaced with virtual spheres or cuboids; (3), chest image recognition is conducted on the entity model through embedded marks through augmentedreality glasses, the unity software is used for indicating the position of the chest image model by recognizing the pre-embedded marks, and the chest image is displayed in the augmented reality glasses; (4), a real-time needle tracking system module is achieved based on an Internet-of-Thing technology, the inserting in and pulling out of needles in the entity chest image model are combined with the virtual chest image model through the Internet-of-Thing technology so that the user can perform practice on the image chest, and the purposes of acupuncture and moxibustion training and acupoint well memorizing can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to augmented reality technology and mixed reality technology, in particular to an acupuncture method based on mixed reality technology, which enables users to perform virtual acupuncture training by using augmented reality technology and mixed reality technology, thereby realizing the practice of acupuncture and moxibustion techniques. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer and simulation technology, virtual reality technology has been widely used in the medical field. Mixed reality (Mixed Reality, MR) is a branch of virtual reality technology, which can enhance or supplement what the human eye sees and interact with reality, and superimpose information prompted by computer-generated virtual objects, scenes or systems on In real scenes in real life, thereby enhancing the real world we see and interact with. The application of this technology in fields such as modern medicine can provide users and operators...

Problems solved by technology

The current methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in medical education and training are inseparable from the traditional way of training with instructors. It is impossible to determine whether the training points are accurate, and there is no equipment that can guide students to take the initiative to learn acupuncture and moxibustion.

Meridian theory is an important part of traditional medical theory in my country. The distribution of acupuncture points in the human body is the basis of this theory. In the past, acupuncture point distribution maps were often just simple drawings to identify acupuncture points, lacking the three-dimensional sense that peopl
