Therefore, a personal assistant for assessing and coaching appropriate toothbrushing is needed. Herein, a three-dimensional toothbrush position measurement method using augmented reality (AR) markers is proposed. The AR markers are detected via a brushing video captured using a smartphone camera. The AR markers are installed on each surface of a dodecahedron attached at the rear end of the toothbrush. This report describes the proposed method, the resulting toothbrush position measurement accuracy, and the optimal number of markers needed for an accurate measurement of the position.
