Academia-industry Collaboration for Augmented Reality Application Development
Abstract Due to our previous experience in AR development, with this research project we propose to study how Augmented Reality (AR) can be adopted by an industrial partner and which are the major outcomes from which a company may benefit. For this purpose, we partnered with a forward-looking company willing to embrace the idea of implementing new technologies for industrial purposes. In this research we identified that the most significant impact which AR may have for our industrial partner is in providing remote assistance and for product exploitation and marketing purposes. For the latest we developed a customized AR application which is currently available on Apple’s App Store. By analy…
Correlation of Vertebral Absolute Axial Rotations in CAD 3D Models of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Non-Invasively Diagnosed
This paper presents preliminary results on non-invasive optical diagnosis of patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with recently developed tool ScolioSIM. This tool generates intrinsic and extrinsic indicators of the spinal deformity and 3D CAD (Computer-aided Design) deformity model based only on a digitalized dorsal surface of the examined patient. Our primary focus in this paper are absolute axial rotations (AAR) of each vertebra in AIS patients and their correlations. Clinical relevance of this research is high, as we intend to avoid traditional methods which rely on highly complicated reading and measuring of AARs on planar x-ray films, as these methods involve ionizing ra…
Supporting Diagnosis and Treatment of Scoliosis: Using Augmented Reality to Calculate 3D Spine Models in Real-Time - ARScoliosis
Scoliosis is a complex spinal disorder that mostly affects adolescents and younger population. To avoid and reduce harmful radiation techniques in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis investigation and follow-ups, a novel non-invasive approach is highly recommended and needed in clinical practice. In this paper ARScoliosis application to diagnose, visualize and document spinal condition and particularly adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in real time is presented. This ARScoliosis application is developed in Unity 3D, a game engine, and allows non-invasive quantification of posture and spinal deformity using recently available non-ionizing wide-angle depth sensor Microsoft Azure Kinect DK as a diag…
