Abstract:
Objective The solution for the cross-platform of visualizing human meridian acupoints by three-dimensional (3D) virtual technology was explored based on existing researches to improve interactive method.Methods 3D virtual technology was utilized to construct a 3D visualization model of human meridians and acupoints.The cross-platform 3D visualization system was realized by integrating the existing relevant standards and clinical knowledge.Results The system can visually and dynamically show the meridians and acupoints of human body.Moreover, it can reveal the details including part meridian circulation, the spatial structure of acupoints, etc which fail to be reflected by the real acupuncture model and two-dimensional (2D) planar chart.Meanwhile, the system can be employed to realize the visualization interaction between meridians model and human beings, and the multi-screen cross-platform user scenarios in the whole network.Conclusion It is expected to be widely applied in fields, such as teaching of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), scientific research, science popularization, etc.
