Personalizing medical conditions with augmented reality
First Claim
1. A storage device having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one computing processor, implement a method for dynamically modifying an image containing an anatomical object that is displayed on a display screen of a computing system that includes a camera that is used to capture the image that is displayed and modified according to the method, the method comprising:
- using the camera of the computing system to capture the image containing the anatomical object;
using the computing system to automatically detect the presence of the anatomical object within the captured image, the anatomical object being associated with a medical condition;
displaying the captured image on a display screen associated with the computing system, the captured image being rendered in real-time with the automatically detected anatomical object; and
an act of the computer system, in response to detecting user input manipulating a control for rendering a simulation at the computing system, rendering the simulation of the medical condition associated with the automatically detected anatomical object at the display screen, wherein the simulation dynamically reflects a simulated impact of the medical condition associated with the corresponding anatomical object by displaying a progressive stage of the medical condition from the capture image.

Abstract
Augmented reality is used to simulate the impact of medical conditions on body parts and other objects within images taken of the objects. The simulations enable a user to see how a medical condition can affect the user by dynamically simulating the impact of the medical condition on captured images of body parts associated with the user in real-time. A user can select different medical conditions that are associated with different body parts. These objects are then identified within images containing the body parts using image recognition algorithms and/or user input. Thereafter, the images are modified so as to render the body parts as though the body parts were being impacted by the medical condition. The modifications are made by blending image data of the captured image with condition image data available to the processing system.

19. A computer implemented method for dynamically modifying an image of an anatomical object that is displayed on a display screen of a computing system, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image containing an anatomical object; using the computing system to automatically detect the presence of the anatomical object within the captured image, the anatomical object being associated with a medical condition; displaying the captured image on a display screen associated with the computing system, the captured image being rendered with the automatically detected anatomical object and an indicator that the automatically detected anatomical object has been automatically detected; and an act of the computer system, in response to detecting user input manipulating a control for rendering a simulation at the computing system, rendering the simulation of the medical condition associated with the automatically detected anatomical object at the display screen, wherein the simulation dynamically reflects a simulated impact of the medical condition over time by displaying, with the simulation, different progressive stages of the medical condition over time and transitioning between the different progressive stages of the medical condition over time to show the progression of the medical condition over time.

20. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one hardware processor; a display screen; and one or more storage media having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, implement a method for dynamically modifying an image of a body part that is displayed on a display screen associated with the computing device, the method comprising; obtaining an image containing an anatomical object comprising a body part; detecting the presence of the body part within the image, the anatomical object being associated with a medical condition; displaying the image on a display screen associated with the computing system, the image being rendered with the body part in a way that highlights the body part and in such a way as to indicate that the body part has been detected within the image; and rendering augmented reality on the display screen, the augmented reality comprising a dynamic simulation of the medical condition that modifies at least a portion of the captured image of the body part and that is rendered as an animation with a plurality of different display frames which reflects the simulated impact of the medical condition, over time, on the image of the body part.
