Abstract

In the process of creating an Augmented Reality (AR) system, there are various Augmented Reality Software Development Kits (AR SDK) available for development. Each AR SDK has different features. Therefore, a study has to be performed about which AR SDK is appropriate for implementation. This paper focuses on an AR system for Forensic Medicine education in Thailand, where drowning is one of the main causes of death. With the aim of a comparative study and selection, the AR SDK type suitable for use in creating an AR system for teaching Forensic Medicine is selected. The traditional teaching and learning method was studied. There were general requirements of SDKs which are recognition of objects in both 2D and 3D, recognition stability of immovable and movable markers, and supporting platforms both Android and iOS. It was found that Vuforia is an AR SDK suitable for use in Forensic Medicine education. Studying and comparing the various Vuforia feature types resulted in the image target and model target as appropriate methods for Forensic Medicine education in the case of investigating drowning.

Highlights

  • The practical study of forensic medicine is current in Thailand [3], where 5th-year medical students must follow a medical professor to the postmortem examination at an actual crime scene investigation

  • From the result of comparing Vuforia features based on the different requirements in the detection and display of each step, we found that the suitable feature for step 1 was the model targets in the object features because all requirements were met

  • For step 1 we used a model target feature with the database as mannequin generated by model target Generator (MTG) in Vuforia Software Development Kit (SDK)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The practical study of forensic medicine is current in Thailand [3], where 5th-year medical students must follow a medical professor to the postmortem examination at an actual crime scene investigation This method has limitations in that it cannot be repeated, one cannot determine the crime scene that you want to study, and there are few crime scenes to study. There is a general requirement in forensic medicine used in screening for an SDK that it has 1) both 2D and 3D object recognition, 2) has recognition stability of immovable markers and 3) movable markers, and 4) both Android and iOS are supported platforms.
