Current study on HCI based AR technology in the medical industry

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology that based on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) can combine our real life with 3D virtual information through real-time computing and multiple sensors. It simulates people's senses, such as hearing, vision, touch, etc., bringing things that cannot be seen in reality to people's eyes, which will bring people a feeling beyond reality. It has already appeared in our lives and has applications in many fields, such as architecture. Especially in the gaming field, AR, an innovative emerging technology, is widely loved by young people. With the development of technology, the forms of AR games have also become diverse. It has also developed rapidly in the medical field in recent years. This article will discuss the current situation of AR and its advantages in the medical industry based on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from three aspects: doctor diagnosis, patient rehabilitation, and medical education with examples of applications. Then, this article will discuss some of the drawbacks of using AR and the problems that will be encountered in future development, and propose solutions. Finally, analysis and predictions will be made for the future development of AR in the industry.
