Researchers developed a virtual reality system that simulates acupuncture at the Fengchi (GB 20) point, using data from experienced practitioners and force feedback devices.
This system allows acupuncture students to practice using a realistic 3D digital human model, which replicates the physical interactions of needles with human tissues.
The project aims to enhance acupuncture education by providing an immersive experience that integrates visual and tactile feedback, paving the way for future innovations in virtual acupuncture training.
