There are increasing interest and understanding to the oriental medicine, among which the acupuncture with its miraculous healing effect has been attracting more and more attention. There is consequently an urgent need for the well-trained acupuncturists. It is mostly important in acupuncture to carry out repeated practice to become highly skilled without much painful practice directly upon the human body. In this study, a computer training system using virtual reality technology for training acupuncturist has been proposed. The system is with a 3D human acu-points model, upon which the teaching of 3D position of an acu-points and a true-false judgment of acupuncture operation can be done real-timely. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the proposed training system, and the effectiveness of the system was proved.

人们对东方医学的兴趣和了解与日俱增，其中针灸以其神奇的治疗效果越来越受到人们的关注。因此，迫切需要训练有素的针灸师。在针灸中，最重要的是进行反复练习以达到高水平，而不需要直接在人体上进行太多痛苦的练习。在这项研究中，提出了一种利用虚拟现实技术来培训针灸师的计算机培训系统。系统具有3D人体穴位模型，可实时进行穴位3D位置示教和针刺操作真假判断。通过实验对所提出的培训系统进行了评估，证明了该系统的有效性。
