本文报告了一种基于平板电脑的增强现实(AR)应用程序的探索，供职业治疗师(OTS)使用。该应用程序使OTS能够在进行房屋改造时支持身体残疾和残疾的个人。这是一个必要的过程，使这些人能够弥补他们能力的下降，并保持独立的生活。通过半结构化访谈和参与性研讨会，调查了目前的住宅改造和实施过程中涉及的挑战，并与OTS共同设计了AR原型。他们发现AR工具具有潜在的好处，因为它允许他们搜索、查找和选择在家庭中使用的辅助技术(AT)，并向用户演示家庭改装计划。该工具将使用户能够在家里购买和使用ATS时设想最合适的场景。
This paper reports on the exploration of a tablet-based augmented reality (AR) application for use by occupational therapists (OTs). The application enables OTs to support individuals with physical impairment and disability when making home modifications. This is a necessary process that empowers these individuals to compensate for their reduced abilities and to maintain independent living. Through semi-structured interviews and a participatory workshop, current home modifications and the challenges involved in the process of implementation were investigated, and an AR prototype was co-designed with the OTs. They found the AR tool to be potentially beneficial as it allows them to search, find, and select assistive technologies (ATs) for use in homes and to demonstrate the home-modification plans to users. The tool will enable users to envision the most appropriate scenarios when purchasing and utilizing ATs in the home.
