Abstract
The paper presents studies on a prototype of a virtual mirror application, intended to aid the design process of individualized orthopedic supplies, such as limb orthoses or prostheses. The application is a part of an automated design and manufacturing system, relying on 3D scanning and 3D printing for manufacturing of supplies adjusted to specific patients. The application itself is divided into two parts: the configurator and the mirror. The paper presents briefly a concept, a prototype application based on Kinect sensor and studies on a small group of patients, as well as results of a survey study. Certain inaccuracies of Kinect sensor were detected in the tests, preventing smooth user experience with the mirror. However, the presented approach was viewed in a favorable way by the test group – the concept of a virtual mirror is a promising solution that should be utilized in the design process of individualized orthopedic supplies. On the basis of observations and surveys, recommendations for future development were formulated.
