| Research Abstract |
There are increasing interest and understanding to the oriental medicine, among which the acupuncture with its miraculous healing effect has been attracting more and more attention. There is consequently an urgent need for the well-trained acupuncturists. It is mostly important in acupuncture to carry out repeated practice to become highly skilled without much painful practice directly upon the human body. In this study, a computer training system using virtual reality technology for training acupuncturist has been proposed. The system is with a 3D human acu-points model, upon which the teaching of 3D position of an acu-points and a true-false judgment of acupuncture operation can be done real-timely. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the proposed training system, and the effectiveness of the system was proved.
