3D Immersive Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Trainer

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) plays a primary role in first-aid treatment. Instead of the traditional instructor-led training course, we propose a virtual reality system which provides an immersive 3D environment for CPR training with visual and haptic feedback. To simulate a real world CPR experience, our immersive trainer system enables a trainee to perform CPR compressions to a virtual human, inside the virtual world. During the training procedure, the trainee can not only watch his/her 3D image performing CPR, but also feel the force feedback from the chest compressions in real-time. To further enhance the visual fidelity, a haptic-enabled deformable model is applied to show the visual change of chest during compression.
