An Augmented Reality Application for the Community Learning about the Risk of Earthquake in a Multi-storey Building Area

The earthquake comes with great risks, especially in urban areas where many multi-storey buildings exist. These risks have not been understood well yet by the people of the urban area. Socialization, simulation, and learning media need to be provided continuously to improve people awareness on the importance of knowledge about the earthquake risks. An interesting learning media is not only contain informations but also a 3D animation and an interaction with the user. For a more immersive interaction, this application is equipped with augmented reality technology that gives more real visual representation like the actual condition. The evaluation result shows that 82% respondent appreciates this application, at first common users do not know the risk of earthquakes on multi-storey building, with this application users can understand the importance of earthquake risk in buildings

Smart ophthalmics: the future in tele-ophthalmology has arrived

Smart Ophthalmics^© extends ophthalmic healthcare to people who operate/live in austere environments (e.g., military, third world, natural disaster), or are geographically dispersed (e.g., rural populations), where time, cost, and the possibility of travel/transportation make access to even adequate medical care difficult, if at all possible. Operators attach optical devices that act as ophthalmic examination extensions to smartphones and run custom apps to perform examinations of specific areas of the eye. The smartphone apps submit over wireless networks the collected examination data to a smart remote expert system, which provides in-depth medical analyses that are sent back in near real-time to the operators for subsequent triage
