Visual aid via cutting-edge technology seems to be around as a concept for a very long time, playing an integral role in science fiction novels, films and video games, aiding their main characters to accomplish some of their most difficult tasks. It seems that we have reached a point that it is more than ever safe to say that visual aid enhanced by state-of-the-art microcomputer…
One of the innovative features of the See Far solution is that the provided suggestions are adaptive to the profile of the user. This is achieved through the Personalized visual recommendation service. The Personalized profile of the user consists of the socio-demographic profile (e.g. age, occupation, marital status, etc.), the medical profile of the user (type of vision deficiency, severity of its vision deficiency, comorbidities,…
Topic: Augmented Reality, Personalized visual assistant service, Personalized visual recommendation service, Embedded navigation system “We will all soon throw away our smartphones” I’ve heard this quote many times in the past years and I keep wondering how long it will actually take. The past 5 years have been insane in the XR world, many companies have been working towards this new way of interacting with…
The SeeFar application consists of various heterogeneous modules, such as smart glasses, various sensors, processing units, smartphone applications etc. So, the integration of all these modules was a challenge during the project. For all possible integration strategies (“big bang”, “with the Stream”, incremental, Aggregates, Subsets, Threads or “Functional Chains”, top-down, bottom-up, sandwich or hybrid, Criterion Driven or “Critical Modules”, Continuous) for the SeeFar having considered…
By presenting the See Far project at the Cattolica University, the students of the Master in Health Management manifested a great interest in the project and the work of Quantitas as a partner of the project and in charge of the socio-economic impact analyse. Therefore, Cattolica University has asked Quantitas to formalize the agreement and accept the internship of the students giving them a chance…
3D technologies (i.e. 3D scanning, 3D modelling, 3D printing) lay at the core of the design of the frame for the proof-of-concept prototype. For 3D modelling, open-source software was selected to facilitate collaboration between all the partners involved, located at distant sites. The parts and components that will be mounted on the frame (e.g. AR lenses, electronic boards, etc.) were 3D-modeled using 3D scanning where…
Following researches and dialogue with partners, we have concluded that prototype D for clinical trials would be 3D printed. We discarded the moulding process because it was slow and it can take one or two months after the 3D design to get it. Therefore, we made a decision for the 3D printing option as faster and better for prototyping and low mass production. In-depth research…
On January 28th, See Far partner Peter Skov Jensen from Aarhus University Hospital gave an online lecture to the staff (Optometrists, occupational therapists, visual- and IKT-consultants) dealing with vision problems at CSH – Center for Sight and Accessibility Aids, located in Aarhus. (https://csh.aarhus.dk). CSH is a public institute that helps e.g. people with low vision by training them and giving them different kinds of tools…
Prof. Tsiknakis from FORTH, our project partner, presented in the EU&U conference the See Far project on 18th January 2021. The topic of the session was Recovery and Health and you can find out more information here: https://www.euandu.eu/ More than 1000 participants attended the online event and 35 speakers discussed important issues where real needs of European citizens were addressed.
We have seen it in fictional TV-series, movies but also in futuristic literature such as Isaac Asimov’s novels. Artificial Intelligence has unimaginable potential and in a couple of years, it will revolutionize most of the aspects of our daily lives. In the latest years, AI is turning into a reference point of today’s technology innovation. Today, we are experiencing exponential growth of AI-studies and researches,…
