1. A system for augmented reality visualization of benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) disorder in a subject, the system comprising:
a camera configured to capture an image sequence of the subject's head while the subject is autonomously moving the head;
a processing unit configured to generate at least one virtual model of an inner ear, wherein the at least one virtual model of the inner ear comprises an accurate anatomical representation of a real human inner ear; and
a display configured to display in an augmented reality environment the at least one virtual model of the inner ear over the image sequence, wherein a position and rotation of the at least one virtual model is synchronized with a movement of the subject's head.
