ABSTRACT This paper presents a prototype XR system for disaster medical response, demonstrating the feasibility of real‐time interactive elastodynamics simulations in emergency scenarios. The system delivers an end‐to‐end workflow utilizing XR technology, from on‐site data acquisition to remote simulation. Specifically, we propose an image‐guided mesh‐processing pipeline that converts photographs of injured individuals into solver‐ready tetrahedral meshes. We also develop a constraint‐based elastodynamics solver capable of simulating deformable bodies and visualizing internal stresses. Additionally, the system integrates multiple advanced XR devices and addresses the coordinate‐alignment problem between these devices and the simulator. We validate the system's performance in both AR/VR modes, under textured and stress‐visualization configurations, and demonstrate its applicability for remote medical guidance. Beyond whole‐body elastic simulations, we conduct preliminary organ‐level experiments to inform future remote surgical applications. This prototype, validated using a two‐room setup, provides a feasible solution for remote emergency medical response.
