Investigating Hand-Bound Pads for AR Input Using Hand-Tracking Only
What is Augmented Reality, and how is it used for Augmented Maintenance? Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing human-computer interaction, allowing digital content to be seamlessly integrated into the physical world. Unlike traditional desktop or mobile interfaces, AR enables spatially situated interactions, where virtual content is embedded within the user’s physical surroundings. Users can thus perceive and manipulate this content in relation to the spatial
Bio-Inspired Planning Algorithms Ant Colony to generate HomeCare planning
Today, the aging of the population and the increase in life expectancy are leading to an increase in the number of people looins their autonomy and frailty. Noting the lack of places available in specialized institutions, an alternative is home care (HAD). Home-based care structures help reduce hospital overcharge and provide a better environment for
