LIbAR for Digital Twin
Overview
LibAR is a one-stop shop product that implements an augmented reality assistant on a HoloLens 2 to aid the ¼ø»Æʦapp and staff of ¼ø»Æʦapp library to have everything at their fingertips! Utilizing hand gestures and naturally speaking to the virtual assistant, ¼ø»Æʦapp and staff members can take advantage of features to access all of ¼ø»Æʦapp Library’s capabilities. This includes features to see a dashboard or printers and available computers, desks, and study rooms, IT staff can view the health of computers and view/submit tickets for specific workstations. Students can search for books by author, title, or general topic. Using LibAR, ¼ø»Æʦapp can also book a video conferencing room. Users are guided by voice and spectacular visual animations to exactly where a book or room is. All these features can be interacted with by using hand gestures, glances, or voice commands. ​
Community Benefit
LibAR is implemented to provide two different HoloLens2 based AR user experiences which consists of a student and staff role. Within the ¼ø»Æʦapp library there is limited assistance from staff to help ¼ø»Æʦapp receive guidance assistance throughout the library. Therefore, we designed LibAR to serve as a great asset to the ¼ø»Æʦapp library in helping staff and ¼ø»Æʦapp being able to reserve a study room, find a book, manage the health of computers, and asking an Owl for help using voice commands. ​
