  7. Abstract:
  8. In process of making prosthetic limb, each of the prosthetic limbs must be costume fitted and built since each amputation of the patient is unique. The design and fabrication process of artificial limb consists of several different steps and begins with a precise measurement process that will be used to design the prosthetic limb. If possible, a prosthetist begins taking measurements before the patient's limb is even amputated, so that the fabrication process can get started. Today, much research which has been done in Augmented Reality and 3D scanning technologies shows that these technologies can help people with disabilities to have better experience in their life by using them in rehabilitation application. In this thesis, we tried to design, develop and implement an algorithm to make relationship between augmented reality and 3D scanning systems in order to help people with missing extremities. In this research we tried to augment the 3D model of missing limb by 3D scanning the pair of missing limb or using a generic model of the missing limb as 3D model. The 3D model of missing limb should be in the .OBJ extension which is a standard format for representing an object in three dimensional spaces. The proposed system in this research tested on two healthy subjects and proved its functionality. It is shown that the proposed system can be used in the steps of manufacturing in order to create, validate and modify the model of missing limb
