Research on the key technologies of virtual acupuncture simulation based on JOGL

Abstract

It is of great significance and application value to train acupuncture learners with modern information technology. We synthetically utilize the technologies of Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality to propose a data optimization method of 3D human body model and make visualization processing of the human body model as well as pick up the human body acupuncture points by using JOGL (Java OpenGL). On Netbeans IDE, we integrate each function model and develop a virtual acupuncture simulation software prototype system which is suitable for the acupuncture learners. Research shows that the key technologies we studied improved the acupuncture simulation program's execution efficiency and enhanced the interactive function in the process of acupuncture training.
