“Scoliosis 3D”—A Virtual-Reality-Based Methodology Aiming to Examine AIS Females’ Body Image

Modern techniques such as virtual-reality (VR) tasks might offer a unique method for eliciting state-variable fluctuations in body satisfaction and associated behaviors. The study aim was to develop the application of biometric avatars VR useful tool investigate changes within representation adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). All were created on basis 3D scans bodies real female patients with thoracic scoliosis, 12–18 years age, consecutively selected brace treatment or posterior correction fusion. A 3D, white-light LED scanner used. models rigged using 3DS Max software, enable possibility human-type interaction animation. “Avatar Scoliosis 3D” is an innovative interactive-XR application, loosely based virtual-mirror concept, contains number predefined avatars, each different Cobb angle. It possible change avatar one angle (lower higher), should patient decide visualization original incompatible their own perception. In conclusion, image AIS proposed.
