Brainstorming issues for each topic that MR could help with:

Transportation issues
  • -          Not knowing how far away the bus is
  • -          Knowing when to get off
  • -          Traffic congestion
  • -          Accidents/crashes holding up traffic
  • -          Parking
  • -          Overloaded buses
  • -          Unreliable public transport
  • -          Police cars and ambulances trying to get through congested traffic

Healthcare issues
  • -          Wait times
  • -          Diagnosing wrong things
  • -          Not knowing what the problem is
  • -          alzheimer's
  • -          diabetes
  • -          lack of nutrition education
  • -          insomnia
  • -          people who cant fall asleep

Emergency issues
  • -           locating injured
  • -          The time it takes for assistance
  • -          Lack of communication
  • -          General public preparation
  • -          Lack of guidance

·  Virtual reality in dentistry
·  Virtual reality in medicine
·  Virtual reality in nursing
·  Virtual reality in surgery
·  Surgery simulation
·  Virtual reality therapies
·  Virtual reality in phobia treatment
·  Virtual reality treatment for PTSD
·  Virtual reality treatment for autism
·  Virtual reality health issues
·  Virtual reality for the disabled

Ideas for storyboards:
  • Prescriptions – what it does
  • Surgery education
  • Kids – dentist
  • Check vitals

Prescriptions:
– see how the drug works and what it does

Surgery education:
- Before surgery take scans etc then use VR to look inside the organs being operated on to identify any possible complications prior to surgery so they can plan how to deal with them

Kids – dentist:
- Distract them with pictures
- For adults seeing what the dentist sees

Check vitals:
- Finding veins
Sleep issues
- A lamp that projects relaxing things into the room
- Alter what happens in your dreams
- Record dreams
- Share dreams with someone else
- Monitor sleep patterns
- Monitor the best time to wake up


What are the design opportunities for mixed reality? How can MR enable or enhance objects, environments, and communications?
Virtual reality (VR) is a new fast developing technology in IT area used to create a virtual environment. VR shows the user a different kind of interface, which indeed differs from the traditional one. Instead of watching on a display, users get an opportunity to be in contact with 3D worlds. It allows to build a special reality and track the user’s activity when getting into this environment. VR requires several devices like headset, computer, smartphone or another machine to create a new imaginary world.

Transportation and mobility- Public transport, heavy machinery, inter-car communication, safety, accident prevention, etc.
Examples:
  • ·         Pedestrian simulator- learning the appropriate times and spots to cross the roads and be road safe.
  • ·         Driving practice simulator- desire to be a confident driver in a practice simulation to build up confidence over fear on real roads.


Healthcare- Professional medical assistance, first aid, patient examination, long-term care, chronic conditions, etc.
Examples:
·         Accuvein- Many people have a great fear of blood tests mainly because they are afraid that the nurse or phlebotomist does not find the vein at the first time, but it will be a lengthy and torturous procedure. AccuVein is using AR technology to make both nurses’ and patients’ lives easier. The company’s marketing specialist, Vinny Luciano said 40% of IVs (intravenous injections) miss the vein on the first stick, with the numbers getting worse for children and the elderly. AccuVein uses AR by using a handheld scanner that projects over skin and shows nurses and doctors where veins are in the patients’ bodies. Luciano estimates that it’s been used on more than 10 million patients, making finding a vein on the first stick 3.5x more likely.
  • ·         Atheer- The company is considered a pioneer of the Augmented interactive Reality (AiR) smart glasses platform, which is designed to enhance productivity not only in healthcare but in a wide range of other industries as well. AiR Glasses enable users to view critical work information right in their field-of-view and interact with it using familiar gestures, voice commands, and motion tracking. With the AiR Enterprise Suite, users can collaborate with remote experts via video calls and receive guidance through real-time image annotations to increase efficiency – all while keeping the focus on the task at hand.


Emergencies- Preparedness, path-to-safety, accident prevention, first response, survival, situational assessment, etc
Examples:
  • ·         DSTS Visors- Before the start of each training session, up to nine first responders will stand in a large, bare room. When they don the display visor, Rohde explains, they will be fully immersed inside a game world that includes visual, auditory, and even atmospheric conditions like dust or rain, replicating the chaos and situational challenges of an emergency. As the user moves through the room, her movements are represented by an avatar to other players. "You see them as their avatar, you communicate, you give orders, and you assess wounds as if it's in a real-world setting."
  • ·         CPR- emergency training- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CuvyXcRV2w

Prescription design: Healthcare Victim user Before and during Anywhere Visual and tactile Glass and digital image (possibility of being 3D) Educational, for people that use medicine, the need for knowledge on what the pills are actually doing to their own body and the effects of it. Side effects How it affects your other medication How you should take it and when Explains medical jargon that patients don’t understand  Dental design: Healthcare Victim user During Dentist Visual Goggles, to block the view of reality as a distraction from the dentist at work. Kid is scared and frightened, a phobia of the dentist. Surgery design: Healthcare Responder Before and during Doctors, hospital and gestural Visual and interactive Glasses which are see through, lens shows the body of the patient and its problems Informative to the doctor for possible complications to strategically work around and plan ahead.

Clear Rx Medication System One day, Deborah’s grandmother took her grandfather’s medicine by mistake. Her name was Helen. His was Herman. Same initial – H Adler – and the pill bottles looked alike. This incident resulted in the ClearRx System for Target. From the color-coded rings to identify each family member to the intuitive and easy-to-read label, ClearRx is designed for people who take prescription medication. http://www.adlerdesign.com/project/clear-rx-medication-system/ Telemedicine Telemedicine is the remote delivery of healthcare services, such as health assessments or consultations, over the telecommunications infrastructure. It allows healthcare providers to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients without the need for an in-person visit. Telemedicine was originally created as a way to treat patients who were located in remote places, far away from local health facilities or in areas of with shortages of medical professionals. While telemedicine is...
