A study on wearable behavior navigation system - Development of simple parasitic humanoid system -

Abstract

Performing general human behavior by experts' navigation is expected to be realized as wearable and ubiquitous technologies and computing develop. For simple, ordinary behavior, a person does not need the assistance of an expert. However, if one is standing next to an injured/ill person, one needs the instruction on performing first aid treatment from an expert. The wearer of the wearable behavior navigation system will be able to conduct first aid treatment as an expert would. We have developed the wearable behavior navigation systems using Augmented Reality technology, mainly for the navigation of the first aid treatment and for escape from dangerous areas, such as a building on fire. The effectiveness of the wearable navigation systems has been evaluated by a number of experiments. In this paper, the basic mechanism to realize general human behavior navigation is presented, along with the concrete configuration of the prototype of the navigation systems, and the experimental evaluation.

Tele-mentoring using augmented reality technology in healthcare: A systematic review

“…Several other limitations of the HMDs were perceived by users. There were concerns about the heaviness of the equipment (Oyama et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2017), the inconvenience (Rio et al, 2018) and distraction (Carbone et al, 2018). In addition, Rio et al found that the field of view available when using smart glasses was about 23°, which limited the AR visualisation area.…”

“…In contrast, the AR users were significantly slower in six experiments due to limitations related to the systems. This may have been due to the delay in the network, video and audio signals (Ponce, Menendez et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2017); the narrow field of view of the HMD; the distorted correspondence between the displayed view and the real view and the deteriorated sense of distance (Oyama et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2017); or the deficiencies in hand-eye coordination due to the lack of a fully transparent effect on the display (Andersen et al, 2016). A longer time could also have been experienced as participants tried to match their operative field to the absolute 3D position in which the annotation was supposed to be located (Rojas-Munoz et al, 2018).…”

Behavior navigation using common communication devices for CPR

“…We proposed and developed a behavior navigation system (BNS) using Augmented Reality (AR) technology and a simplified commodity-technology-based BNS using a wearable camera and fixed displays, mainly for first-aid treatment [9][10] [11].…”

“…Wearable devices are available to induce the desirable direction of human walking. Furthermore, not only the navigation of human walking, but also the navigation of general human behavior is expected to be eventually realized [7][8] [5] [9][10] [11].…”

“…In order to realize general human behavior navigation, we proposed and developed a wearable behavior navigation system (WBNS) using Augmented Reality (AR) technology [9] [11]. The WBNS utilizes the feedback of the visual information, which is acquired by a cooperator next to a victim and then provided to an expert in a remote site, such as the emergency and critical care center.…”
