We present an augmented reality magic mirror for teaching anatomy. The system uses a depth camera to track the pose of a user standing in front of a large display. A volume visualization of a CT dataset is augmented onto the user, creating the illusion that the user can look into his body. Using gestures, different slices from the CT and a photographic dataset can be selected for visualization. In addition, the system can show 3D models of organs, text information and images about anatomy. For interaction with this data we present a new interaction metaphor that makes use of the depth camera. The visibility of hands and body is modified based on the distance to a virtual interaction plane. This helps the user to understand the spatial relations between his body and the virtual interaction plane.

The mirracle system extends the concept of an Augmented Reality (AR) magic mirror to the visualization of human anatomy on the body of the user. Using a medical volume renderer a CT dataset is augmented onto the user. By a slice based user interface, slice from the CT and an additional photographic dataset can be selected.
