The Augmented Reality Mirror is an AR game that lets you see how your muscles and bones move in real-time.
This is a scientific outreach project that I completed during my time at the Vanderbilt MASI lab for the 2019 Vanderbilt Undergraduate Summer Research Program.
The Augmented Reality Mirror interfaces an Astra Orbbec camera with Unity3D to render anatomical models over a live video stream.

This project aims to develop a demonstration platform for communicating the scientific results to a lay audience (targeting K 12) while providing a framework to offer research experiences to young (underrepresented) scientists and high school teachers. New interactive course modules will be developed using this project. These modules will be targeted to a broad range of abilities from high school math/science/programming classes to graduate-level seminars. The Augmented Reality Mirror is an open-source rendering software to provide users with a virtual reality experience. With the provisions of a projection display, a laptop with a multi-core GPU, and an Astra Orbbec camera, users can stand in front of the mirror and representative anatomical images will overlay the body. The images implemented are adapted to approximate the actual anatomy. The open-source software will have an application programming interface (API) to allow users to develop additional content within the Augmented Reality Mirror.
