🧪 Augmented Reality Ar Healthcare Simulation

Interactive AR healthcare simulator: a near-infrared vein-finder overlay projects detected veins onto a forearm, and you control depth, wavelength, headset camera-eye baseline and viewing distance to see how optical see-through AR registration error and signal contrast change in real time.

This simulation investigates the potential of augmented reality in healthcare settings by modelling a concrete, everyday AR device: an optical see-through NIR vein finder used for IV placement and blood draws. A 3D forearm carries real subcutaneous veins rendered from Beer–Lambert light attenuation, while a second, green "AR overlay" line shows what the headset actually paints for the clinician — offset by the parallax registration error that any camera-to-eye baseline introduces. Sweeping vein depth, NIR wavelength, headset baseline and viewing distance demonstrates, quantitatively, why AR-guided training and diagnostics tools trade off signal strength against geometric accuracy, and why closing that gap is central to using AR safely for patient care.
