Augmented reality discovery and information system for people with memory loss
Susan K. Wood, Rachel McCrindle · 2012
Augmented Reality (AR) merges computer generated objects with real world concepts in order to provide additional information to enhance a person’s perception of the real world. This paper describes the work undertaken for an MEng project to investigate the potential of using AR to assist people who have memory loss with simple everyday tasks such as making a hot drink or cooking basic meals. The aim of the Augmented Reality Discovery and Information System (TARDIS) is to help people live independently in their own homes for as long as possible and without relying as heavily on carer support.
