ABSTRACT
The advent of new augmented reality applications in workplaces and education centers will greatly enhance the productivity exponentially. As the world moves toward online workspace because of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, it is vital that we increase the productivity at home without compromising on the collaboration aspect. We focus on a Collaborative Interactive Workspace Environment (CIWE) as an almost ideal alternative to current office workspace setting. In CIWE, multiple users can influence a shared virtual workspace environment through an Optical Transparent Head-Mounted Device. CIWE utilizing augmented reality allows better approaches for cooperation and perception and helps to build client engagement and commitment. Furthermore, we also present a hybrid workspace solution which uses both the PC and a OTHD in sync to extend the display capabilities of the PC from conventional monitors to the digitally augmented workspace, thus reducing the need of large tables and also cutting the cost by giving the at most conveyances. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
In the current scenario, people are more attracted to buy groceries from Supermarket/Hypermarket. In such a case, finding the essential need of any customer in supermarket consumes more time and after all findings the customer need to wait in the billing queue to complete billing process of the selected product. Currently, due to the covid-19 pandemic, the customers are strictly instructed to maintain social distance but practically it is not possible especially in the billing process. To overcome this significant challenge, this research work proposes a smart trolley based on Internet of Things [IoT] with an advanced billing system that makes shopping easier and secured and also avoids standing in long queue. The proposed system consists of a smart trolley attached with LCD display, barcode scanner and a raspberry-pi. This exploratory model is intended to completely eradicate the tedious shopping interaction and administration-related issues. The proposed framework can be undoubtedly implemented at a business scale under the genuine situation. © 2021 IEEE.
