Adaptive visual overlay wound simulation

A tactile, augmented reality wound simulation system comprising:

• a corporeal object deformable by physical manipulation, simulating physical and dimensional features of a body part initially in a first anatomical state;
• a first visual graphic overlay of a wound on the body part of the corporeal object, the first visual graphic overlay renderable via an augmented reality mechanism selected from the group consisting of video see-through headsets, optical see-through headsets, handheld augmented reality devices, and spatial augmented reality devices, the augmented reality mechanism producing an augmented reality rendering;
• whereby the first visual graphic overlay simulates the wound visually on the body part via the augmented reality mechanism according to the first anatomical state, the first visual graphic overlay consistent with the physiological characteristics of the wound when the body part assumes the first anatomical state;
• one or more reference indicia detectable by an optical sensor, the indicia fixed to the surface of the body part;
• and
• a computer processor communicatively coupled to the optical sensor and the augmented reality mechanism, the computer processor executing a software process using the indicia on the body part to dynamically locate, size and orient a visual graphic enhancement rendering of the wound on the body part whereby changes to positions or orientations of the one or more reference indicia caused by physical manipulation of the body part to a second anatomical state invoke the software process to reconstruct spatial and dimensional parameters of the visual graphic enhancement so that there is a spatial synchronization of the augmented reality rendering to the second anatomical state of the body part,
• the software process further modifying the characteristics of the first visual graphic overlay of the wound to a second visual graphic overlay associated with the second anatomical state, the modified characteristics of the second visual graphic overlay consistent with the physiological characteristics of the wound when the body part assumes the second anatomical state.
