Simulating Interaction with IoT-Enabled Devices through Virtual and Augmented Reality

FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-31

Summary
HCI research involving simulating (digital twinning) IoTenabled objects and how users may interact with them. In the context of field maintenance of complex IoT-enabled objects, the question arises of exactly how a technician would interact with the IoT-derived data and other maintenance information. The project will look at the data and information by having the technician interact with a digital twin of the object and related IoT data. To identify effective ways in which a technician would interact with this digital twin and its data, the project will implement 3D interaction and visualization techniques and conduct human experiments to assess the efficacy of those techniques. While the project will focus on aircraft engine maintenance use cases, the more general HCI research issue is how to best support technicians in their interaction with IoT-enabled devices. Consequently, the results of this project would apply to a variety of other domains as well.

Description (French)
Recherche HCI impliquant la simulation d'objets {digital twinning) loTenabled et comment les utilisateurs peuvent interagir avec eux. Dans le cadre de la maintenance sur le terrain objets complexes compatibles loT, la question se pose de savoir exactement comment un technicien interagirait avec les données dérivées loT et d'autres informations de maintenance. Le projet examinera les données et informations en demandant au technicien interagir avec un jumeau numérique de l'objet et des données loT associées. Pour identifier les moyens efficaces par lesquels un technicien interagirait avec ce jumeau numérique et ses données, le projet mettra en œuvre 30 techniques d'interaction et de visualisation et mènera des expériences humaines pour évaluer l'efficacité de ces techniques. Alors que le projet se concentrera sur les cas d'utilisation de la maintenance des moteurs d'avion, le problème de recherche plus général de HCI est de savoir comment soutenir au mieux les techniciens dans leur interaction avec les appareils compatibles LoT. Par conséquent, les résultats de ce projet s'appliqueraient également à divers autres domaines.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
