Abstract：
In the global context, advancements in technology and science have rendered virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality technologies capable of transforming clinical care and medical environments by offering enhanced features and improved healthcare services. This paper aims to present a mixed reality-based system to control a robotic wheelchair for people with limited mobility. The test group comprised 11 healthy subjects (six male, five female, mean age 35.2 ± 11.7 years). A novel platform that integrates a smart wheelchair and an eye-tracking-enabled head-mounted display was proposed to reduce the cognitive requirements needed for wheelchair movement and control. The approach\'s effectiveness was demonstrated by evaluating our system in realistic scenarios. The demonstration of the proposed AR head-mounted display user interface for controlling a smart wheelchair and the results provided in this paper could highlight the potential of the HoloLens 2-based innovative solutions and bring focus to emerging research topics, such as remote control, cognitive rehabilitation, the implementation of patient autonomy with severe disabilities, and telemedicine.
摘要：
在全球范围内,技术和科学的进步使虚拟，增强，和混合现实技术，能够通过提供增强的功能和改进的医疗保健服务来改变临床护理和医疗环境。本文旨在提出一种基于混合现实的系统，以控制行动不便的人的机器人轮椅。测试组包括11名健康受试者(6名男性，五女,平均年龄35.2±11.7岁)。提出了一种新颖的平台，该平台集成了智能轮椅和具有眼动跟踪功能的头戴式显示器，以减少轮椅移动和控制所需的认知要求。通过在现实场景中评估我们的系统，证明了该方法的有效性。用于控制智能轮椅的拟议AR头戴式显示器用户界面的演示以及本文提供的结果可以突出基于HoloLens2的创新解决方案的潜力，并将重点放在新兴的研究课题上。如遥控器，认知康复,实施严重残疾患者自主性，和远程医疗。
