Projected AR-based interactive CPR simulator

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) simulation system that exploits both AR-based visualization and embedded hardware sensing techniques. The proposed system provides real-time interactive visual feedback to the CPR trainee with the projected AR indicator plane that visualizes results of an interlocking signal of the trainee's actions using embedded sensors. This system also provides proper guidelines about the CPR trainee's posture by detecting a user's articular pose from a RGB-D camera in real-time. As implementation results, our system provides interactive feedback, that enabling more accurate and effective training experience to the trainee and more cost-effective rather than traditional CPR education training systems. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
