An Augmented Reality Framework for Eye Muscle Education

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for remote education is felt more than ever. New technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) can improve students’ training experiences and directly affect the learning process, especially in remote education. By using AR in medical education, we no longer need to worry about patient safety during the education process because AR helps students see inside the human body without needing to cut human flesh in the real world. In this paper, we present an augmented reality framework that has the ability to add a virtual eye muscle to a person’s face in a single photo or a video. We go one step further to not just show the muscle of the eye but also customize it for each person by modeling the person’s face with a 3D morphable model (3DMM).
