On-Body Visualization

In this work, we explore different combinations of techniques for an interactive, on-body visualization in augmented reality (AR) of an upper arm muscle simulation model. In terms of data, we focus on a continuum-mechanical simulation model involving five different muscles of the human upper arm, with physiologically realistic geometry.

The benefits of augmented reality (AR) have been demonstrated in both medicine and fitness, while its application in areas where these two fields overlap has been barely explored. We argue that AR opens up new opportunities to interact with, understand and share personal health data.
