“…There is a middle ground between submitting any research involving human participants to an EC and leaving all ethical deliberation related to the research to the researchers involved. We can see examples in some of the adherent papers analyzed, da Silva et al (2021) refrained from considering an EC. Even if there are substantial risks in the research protocol and the scientific communication itself, they clarify the measures adopted to mitigate or resolve the risks.…”

“…Are visually impaired people safe participating in a research experiment that bypassed the EC appreciation requirement? Echoing the dilemma in Amorim et al (2019), is there any demerit in the quality of da Silva et al (2021)'s research for evading the appreciation of an EC?…”

Ethics is a field of study that analyses practices, their principles, customs, and habits. The Grand Research Challenges in Human-Computer Interaction in Brazil (GranDIHC-BR) between 2012 and 2022 highlighted the relevance of the topic Ethics in the context of Human Values. Aligned with that, we claim that computational techniques are not neutral and, therefore, ethical analysis is essential to the design of applications as well as theoretical or conceptual research. The goal of this work is to provide an understanding on how researchers have addressed the ethical aspects by analyzing the publications of the IHC-BR: the Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems, the leading conference dedicated to HCI in Brazil. Thus, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review guided by the main research question: how does ethics permeate research published between 2006 and 2021? As a result, although less than 5% of the papers discussed ethical content, we observed a significant growth in ethical aspects over the years, both associated with the meta-research and its application.

“…Integrating data of patients, such as information of the patient in the health care system and devices connected to the patient, can be successful using fast and reliable automated patient recognition based on face recognition using the cameras of smart glasses [22]. Smart glasses can be used to assist visually impaired in their mobility tasks, especially for obstacle detection above waist level [23]. Infrared and position sensors together with noise filters and an Android app resulted in 93% sensitivity and 95% specificity.…”

The updated range of models of smart glasses has expanded the availability of augmented reality (AR) technology in a way that opens them up to several applications. The first prototypes have been replaced by new models and vendors offer off-the-shelf solutions. E-health and medical applications have been in focus from the start. Furthermore, the roll-out of 5G technology would enable almost real-time, high-speed and low-latency communication, which would expand the potential uses and ideas. This paper gives a short overview of the current state, focusing on medical applications using smart glasses. The HoloLens glasses were evaluated regarding latency and data rates by using WiFi and the 5G campus network of the university. Results show that the HoloLens may be used in education, training and teleassistance; however, assisting latency-sensitive tasks that require a reliable network connection, ergonomic design, and privacy issues still remain a problem.
