Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture education primarily relies on two-dimensional textbooks as the main learning method. Although supplementary materials such as anatomy courses and acupoint anatomy books can partially compensate for the shortcomings of traditional textbooks in anatomical integration, these materials only provide predetermined anatomical views. They make it difficult for students to learn from arbitrary angles and anatomical levels. Therefore, the investigators are developing a Virtual Reality (VR) acupuncture bronze figure model and learning system in an attempt to enhance the depth of acupuncture point learning beyond traditional methods. In this research, the investigators will compare the learning outcomes of traditional book learning and VR pre-recorded courses.
