Abstract This article examines the main variables that influence the intention to use Augmented Reality (AR) applications in the tourism sector in Jordan. The study model has been constructed based on the unified theory of acceptance and the use of technology2 (UTAUT2), by incorporating a new construct (aesthetics) to explore the usage intention of Mobile Augmented Reality in Tourism (MART). A questionnaire was used and distributed to a sample of 450 participants. Data were analyzed using the Smart PLS version 3.0. for testing 12 hypotheses. 29 measurement items were carefully reviewed based on previous studies that… More >

Abstract Realism rendering methods of outdoor augmented reality (AR) is an interesting topic. Realism items in outdoor AR need advanced impacts like shadows, sunshine, and relations between unreal items. A few realistic rendering approaches were built to overcome this issue. Several of these approaches are not dealt with real-time rendering. However, the issue remains an active research topic, especially in outdoor rendering. This paper introduces a new approach to accomplish reality real-time outdoor rendering by considering the relation between items in AR regarding shadows in any place during daylight. The proposed method includes three principal stages… More >

Abstract Vision 2030 requires a new generation of people with a wide variety of abilities, talents, and skills. The adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality is one possible way to align education with Vision 2030. Immersive technologies like AR are rapidly becoming powerful and versatile enough to be adopted in education to achieve this goal. Technologies such as AR could be beneficial tools to enhance maintainable growth in education. We reviewed the most recent studies in augmented reality to check its appropriateness in aligning with the educational goals of Vision 2030. First, the various… More >

Abstract In the digital age, museums are becoming increasingly integrated with media technology. The interactive mode of museum education brought about by new digital communication technology can increase the audience’s participation and interest in museum education content. This paper attempts to use Mobile Augment Reality (MAR) technology to design museum education content under the guidance of the principle of abstraction hierarchy from the theory of education optimization. With the help of MAR technology, museum education content can move up and down at different levels of information abstraction. The purpose is to help the audience move between More >

Abstract To improve and develop education systems, the communication between instructors and learners in a class during the learning process is of utmost importance. Currently the presentations of 3D models using mixed reality (MR) technology can be used to avoid misinterpretations of oral and 2D model presentations. As an independent concept and MR applications, MR combines the excellent of each virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). This work aims to present the descriptions of MR systems, which include its devices, applications, and literature reviews and proposes computer vision tracking using the AR Toolkit Tracking Library.

Abstract Maintenance is an important aspect in the lifecycle of communication network devices. Prevalent problems in the maintenance of communication networks include inconvenient data carrying and sub-optimal scheduling of work orders, which significantly restrict the efficiency of maintenance work. Moreover, most maintenance systems are still based on cloud architectures that slow down data transfer. With a focus on the completion time, quality, and load balancing of maintenance work, we propose in this paper a learning-based virus evolutionary genetic algorithm with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) constraints to implement intelligent scheduling in an edge network. The algorithm maintains the More >

Abstract Introduction: Abdominal wall hematoma (AWH) is a self-resolving, yet common complication from the insertion of trocars during laparoscopic surgery. Particularly, its appearance may increase patient anxiety and may reduce overall surgical satisfaction.
Materials and methods: In a retrospective study analyzing data from 724 robot-assisted radical prostatectomy cases (RARP), trocar insertion sites were examined on postoperative day 7 with Foley removal for AWH. AWH was defined by a sizable collection of blood below the skin as a result of the surgery. The AccuVein AV400 system was utilized to generate real-time images of venous structures beneath the skin. Comparative… More >
