    IDeA: A Demonstration of a Mixed Reality System to Support Living with Central Field Loss
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Tagungsband, 2022) Lang, Florian; Grootjen, Jesse W.; Chuang, Lewis L.; Machulla, Tonja
    People with visual impairment face multiple challenges in their everyday life. They must regularly visit doctors to examine the progress of their impairment and advisory offices or local support groups to learn strategies to overcome challenges in everyday life. However, traveling to appropriate facilities itself often poses challenges to the patients. We propose IDeA, a system based on augmented and virtual reality technology for people with visual impairments. IDeA can lower the cost and improve access to medical care, support digitalization in treating visual impairments, and provide support in the everyday lives of people with visual impairments. IDeA is a three-fold system supporting: 1) the simulation of symptoms of visual impairments to raise awareness in persons without visual impairment, 2) showcasing early detection of symptoms and providing visual augmentations of the real world to support patients in overcoming challenges, and 3) supporting doctors through telemedical consultation, medical eye examinations, and the training of visual strategies. We outline the benefit for all stakeholders and how IDeA can improve the lives of people with visual impairment.

    A Vision Towards Generated Assistive Systems for Supporting Human Interactions in Production
    (Modellierung 2022 Satellite Events, 2022) Michael, Judith
    Human workers need to cope with complex production settings when handling and monitoring cyber-physical production systems. Assistive systems can provide situational step-by-step support for human behavior, e.g., when interacting with a machine or for manual assembly. These systems need to take personal knowledge, workers skills or personal restrictions into account and are therefore subject to privacy concerns. However, the engineering of such interactive assistive systems within the production domain is a complex task as they might support critical functionality in dangerous environments and have a high need for safety and privacy considerations due to processing personal data. We want to investigate how the software engineering process of assistive systems in production can be improved to achieve higher reusability. Current research focuses on specific use cases and implements systems specifically for those needs without reusability in mind. We suggest using behavior and context models in a generative approach, to create a reusable method to engineer assistive systems for production environments, either as own applications or as services integrated within digital twins. We have already applied model-driven methods for assistive systems in the smart home domain and discuss the opportunities and challenges of an application of these methods for the production domain. These methods can facilitate the engineering of assistive functionalities within applications in production while meeting privacy, adaptability, and context-sensitivity requirements.
