This addresses city planning and health for senior citizens, but it is an early study with incremental application of existing AR technology.
The study explored using augmented reality (AR) with Microsoft HoloLens to improve city planning by enabling real-time feedback from citizens, such as the elderly, on virtual plans before construction.
We present an early study designed to analyze how city planning and the health of senior citizens can benefit from the use of augmented reality (AR) using Microsoft's HoloLens. We also explore whether AR and VR can be used to help city planners receive real-time feedback from citizens, such as the elderly, on virtual plans, allowing for informed decisions to be made before any construction begins.
