Abstract [en]

The rise in the aging population worldwide is already negatively impacting healthcare systems due to the lack of resources. It is envisioned that the development of novel Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart city healthcare systems may not only alleviate the stress on the current healthcare systems but may significantly improve the overall quality of life of the elderly. As more elderly homes are fitted with IoT, and intelligent healthcare becomes the norm, there is a need to develop innovative augmented reality (AR) based applications and services that make it easier for caregivers to interact with such systems and assist the elderly on a daily basis. This paper proposes, develops, and validates an AR and IoT-enabled healthcare system to be used by caregivers. The proposed system is based on a smart city IoT middleware platform and provides a standardized, intuitive and non-intrusive way to deliver elderly person's information to caregivers. We present our prototype, and our experimental results show the efficiency of our system in IoT object detection and relevant information retrieval tasks. The average execution time, including object detection, communicating with a server, and rendering the results in the application, takes on average between 767ms and 1,283ms.

Abstract [en]

As Internet of Things (IoT) has developed, the number of connected entities has increased, allowing systems to interact with users and their environments in smart ways. For example, presence and environmental sensors enable the system to be aware of the user's state and environment, allowing it to provide helpful information for users. The connected entities include not only IoT devices for data acquisition and actuation but also interaction modalities for communication between users and systems. Multimodal interaction (MI) and augmented reality (AR) are enablers for enhanced user experience (UX) for IoT services. However, combining an IoT-enabled system with MI and AR without careful consideration may hinder the benefits of these technologies. Thus, understanding the technologies and target user group's characteristics depending on the application's context is essential. Design principles allow people—who are interested in UX and user interface (UI) development of IoT-enabled mobile AR applications—to gain knowledge about UX/UI design that considers both the technology and user aspects.This thesis aims to identify, propose, and validate design principles for mobile applications within IoT-enabled smart city domains, especially healthcare and energy management services. We identified the requirements and needs of MI and AR through a systematic literature review. We also found that studies of design principles for IoT-enabled mobile AR applications are limited. We designed, developed, and analyzed three IoT-enabled mobile AR applications along with their UX. From the state-of-the-art research, we compiled and categorized 26 existing design principles into seven categories. We derived and evaluated five new design principles based on the analysis of our developed applications. As a practical realization of the identified design principles, we provided examples of design principles through user interface mockups, which represent the re-designed interfaces of the applications. We expect that our findings will give insight into the UX/UI design of IoT-enabled mobile AR applications for researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in UX/UI development.
