An anatomically correct infant cyborg dummy
We needed to make a sim that would help people in nursing develop skills on how to perform infant CPR. This is very expensive normally and the data is not great. So I built a VR sim that used hand tracking to better simulate an infant in need of CPR. As part of this project we wanted better data, so I made the cyborg infant. It was a MRI scan on an infant that I segmented out and got a number of 3D files for. I then used those files to make a dynamically dense infant baby print out of TPU. This simulated the skin, fatty tissue, and bone in the baby so we could get the most accurate representation possible. I then embedded a magnet int the chest of the dummy and installed a BLE micro controller with a hall sensor wired onto it. This allowed me very fine data from the infant to be presented in the headset to let the student know if they were going too far or not far enough in the chest compression. I was able to measure sub millimeter accuracy whereas before they only had binary feedback.
