About this VR Learning Experience
Visualize meridian pathways and acupoints which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. From our partners at MAI, AcuMap leverages proprietary anatomy simulation technology and this acupuncture VR experience allows users to overlay meridian pathways and acupoints against human anatomical systems of the body, and also simulate acupuncture techniques on various acupoints with instant haptic feedback and interactive visualization tools including depth information and angle insertion readings.
The experience is designed for:
Educators
Overcome the limitations of teaching with traditional acupuncture manikins, conduct more effective dry needling training.
Practitioners
Refine specific needling procedures prior to initiating treatment on actual patients.
Researchers
Conduct research studies to assess how VR and technology-based solutions affect cognitive behaviors and information retention.
Institutions
Attract students looking for technology-based learning solutions to enhance traditional teaching methods. Reach more students remotely so that those not in physical attendance may still participate in learning.
Key Features
Comprehensive Cross-Reference
Bring the very best of human anatomy to complement acupuncture education and training.
14 Meridians and More
Visualize the flows of 14 meridians and their additional branches to facilitate clinical decision and better outcome.
Origin and Path Tracing
Discover relationships among acupoints, meridians and other anatomy systems.
Immersive Simulation
Simulate various needling techniques in a virtual world to replicate various treatment methods.
Haptic Feedback
During acupuncture needling simulations, users receive light haptic feedback when piercing through the skin and strong haptic feedback when hitting bone.
Virtual Exam
Evaluate and improve the quality of acupuncture learning through the automatic process.
