Abstract(s)
Com a Quarta Revolução Industrial, a propagação da Internet das Coisas, o avanço nas áreas de Inteligência Artificial e de Machine Learning até à migração para a Computação em Nuvem, o
termo "Ambientes Inteligentes" cada vez mais deixa de ser uma idealização para se tornar realidade.
Da mesma forma as tecnologias de Realidade Extendida também elas têm aumentado a
sua presença no mundo tecnológico após um "período de hibernação", desde a popularização do
conceito de Metaverse assim como a entrada das grandes empresas informáticas como a Apple e
a Google num mercado onde a Realidade Virtual, Realidade Aumentada e Realidade Mista eram
dominadas por empresas com menos experiência no desenvolvimento de sistemas (e.g. Meta),
reconhecimento a nível mundial (e.g. HTC Vive), ou suporte financeiro e confiança do mercado.
Esta tese tem como foco o estudo do potencial uso das tecnologias de Realidade Estendida de
forma a promover Saúde Verde assim como seu uso em Hospitais Inteligentes, uma das variantes
de Ambientes Inteligentes, incorporando Machine Learning e Computer Vision, como ferramenta
de suporte e de melhoria de cuidados de saúde, tanto do ponto de vista do profissional de saúde
como do paciente, através duma revisão literarária e análise da atualidade. Resultando na elaboração
de um modelo conceptual com a sugestão de tecnologias a poderem ser usadas para alcançar
esse cenário selecionadas pelo seu potencial, sendo posteriormente descrito o desenvolvimento de
protótipos de partes do modelo conceptual para Óculos de Realidade Extendida como validação
de conceito.
With the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the spread of the Internet of Things, the advance in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning until the migration to Cloud Computing, the term "Intelligent Environments" increasingly ceases to be an idealization to become reality. Likewise, Extended Reality technologies have also increased their presence in the technological world after a "hibernation period", since the popularization of the Metaverse concept, as well as the entry of large computer companies such as Apple and Google into a market where Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality were dominated by companies with less experience in system development (e.g. Meta), worldwide recognition (e.g. HTC Vive) or financial support and trust in the market. This thesis focuses on the study of the potential use of Extended Reality technologies in order to promote GreenHealth as well as their use in Smart Hospitals, one of the variants of Smart Environments, incorporating Machine Learning and Computer Vision, as a tool to support and improve healthcare, both from the point of view of the health professional and the patient, through a literature review and analysis of the current situation. Resulting in the elaboration of a conceptual model with the suggestion of technologies that can be used to achieve this scenario selected for their potential, and then the development of prototypes of parts of the conceptual model for Extended Reality Headsets as concept validation.
