Abstract

Understanding how the human nervous system works required a lot of detail studies. Usually, medical students learn from textbooks or real specimens which may not provide full understanding on how the human body operates. With advance in computer technology, especially augmented reality technology which can simulate virtual images on top of real space, medical students can see the body in action in every angle. In this research, we emphasize on implementing augmented reality to simulate median nerves and carpal tunnel on human wrists, which is the main cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a disease in the office syndrome group, is the most popular disease found in new generation who use computers as a tool. Understanding how the median nerves and carpal tunnel operate will save time, save money and assist in finding ways to cure this disease. © 2014 AENSI Publisher All rights reserved.
