基于三维动画的脉象可视化教学研究

Research on Pulse Visualization Teaching Based on 3D Animation

脉诊教学一直都是中医诊断学教学的难点。传统脉诊教学方式主要为课堂讲解加临床实践,但是学生们临床实践较少,所以课堂成为学生们主要的学习阵地。对于脉象的描述文字,有"心中易了,指下难明"的特点。本文基于专业三维软件3ds Max和专业游戏引擎Unity,以脉波图为参考,使脉象3D化。该程序的研制不仅使中医脉象具体化、立体化,而且具备容量小、界面简单、易操作以及可以在电脑和手机上运行的特点,可以让学生课后随时随地学习各个脉象,加深学生对脉象的理解,也能让教师在课堂利用投影辅助讲解,从而提高教学效果。

Pulse diagnosis teaching has always been a difficult point in TCM diagnostics teaching. The traditional pulse diagnosis teaching method is mainly for classroom explanation as well as clinical practice. However, students have little of opportunities for clinical practice, so the classroom explanation becomes the main learning method for students. For the description text of the pulse, there is a characteristic that the students are easy to understand the description text but hard to truly comprehend the elements of pulse when they are doing clinical practice. This article is based on the professional 3D software 3ds Max and the professional game engine Unity, as well as taking pulse diagram as a reference to make the 3D animation of pulse. The development of this program not only makes the pulse of TCM three-dimensional, but also has the characteristics of small capacity, simple user interface, and easy operation and can be running on computer and mobile phone. It can help students learn the pulse any time and place after class and deepen the understanding of students. It can also be used by teachers in the computers to help them with explaining, thus improving the teaching effect.
