PERSONALIZING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITH AUGMENTED REALITY

摘要

Augmented reality is used to simulate the impact of medical conditions on body parts and other objects within images taken of the objects. The simulations enable a user to see how a medical condition can affect the user by dynamically simulating the impact of the medical condition on captured images of body parts associated with the user in real-time. A user can select different medical conditions that are associated with different body parts. These objects are then identified within images containing the body parts using image recognition algorithms and/or user input. Thereafter, the images are modified so as to render the body parts as though the body parts were being impacted by the medical condition. The modifications are made by blending image data of the captured image with condition image data available to the processing system.

1. A storage device having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one computing processor, implement a method for dynamically modifying an image of an anatomical object that is displayed on a display screen of a computing system that includes a camera that is used to capture the image that is displayed and modified according to the method, the method comprising:
identifying a medical condition in response to received user input, the identified medical condition being associated with an anatomical object; determining the anatomical object that is associated with the medical condition; using a camera of the computing system to capture an image containing the anatomical object; using the computing system to detect the presence of the anatomical object within the captured image; displaying the captured image on a display screen associated with the computing system, the captured image being rendered in real-time with the anatomical object and an indicator that the anatomical object has been detected; and rendering a simulation of the medical condition with the anatomical object at a display screen, wherein the rendering of the simulation occurs in response to detecting user input manipulating a control for rendering the simulation at the computing system.
