An AR edutainment system supporting bone anatomy learning

We present a medical Augmented Reality (AR) edutainment system for bone anatomy learning. This learning environment, called AR bone puzzle, is a metaphor for bone anatomy learning with AR visualization and intuitive interaction. AR bone puzzle uses its user's body as a puzzle frame and computer generated virtual bones as puzzle pieces. Users learn bone anatomy by assembling the virtual bone pieces on their body. Key features of this system are 3D AR visualization and intuitive gesture based user interaction.
