Visualization of 3D objects using virtual reality
method:
Dr. El-Mounayri
has been using virtual reality methods to simulate machining and
manufacturing processes. The project is currently supported by a
STTR-NSF Phase II grant. That technology can be used to visualize
bone, tooth, and joint in a virtual reality environment so that the
evaluation of bone quality, 3D measurements, and root alignment,
etc. can be easily made. We will explore the possibility of
virtually aligning teeth, determining spacing, and checking the
occlusion, which will significantly assist treatment planning.
