This study introduces an augmented reality (AR) system for training military medics in airway management. The portable and low-cost AR visualization system uses a head-mounted display and optical tracker.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Augmented Reality Technology
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Augmented reality (AR) offers advanced 3D visualization capabilities increasingly adopted in medical training.
  • Effective airway management is critical for military medics in field operations.
  • Existing training methods may lack immersive and interactive elements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present an integrated augmented reality system for training military medics.
  • To demonstrate a cost-effective and portable solution for medical airway management simulation.
  • To enhance the practical skills of military personnel in critical medical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a head-mounted projective display with a desktop PC to create an immersive AR environment.
