Augmented Reality Learning Environment for Basic Life Support and Defibrillation Training: Usability Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Basic life support (BLS) is crucial in the emergency response system, as sudden cardiac arrest is still a major cause of death worldwide. Unfortunately, only a minority of victims receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from bystanders. In this context, training could be helpful to save more lives, and technology-enhanced BLS simulation is one possible solution. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of our augmented reality (AR) prototype as a tool for BLS training. METHODS:Holo-BLSD is an AR self-instruction training system, in which a standard CPR manikin is "augmented" with an interactive virtual environment that reproduces realistic scenarios. Learners can use natural gestures, body movements, and spoken commands to perform their
