HomeModAR: A Home Intervention Augmented Reality Tool for Occupational Therapists

This paper reports on the exploration of a tablet-based augmented reality (AR) application for use by occupational therapists (OTs). The application enables OTs to support individuals with physical impairment and disability when making home modifications. This is a necessary process that empowers these individuals to compensate for their reduced abilities and to maintain independent living. Through semi-structured interviews and a participatory workshop, current home modifications and the challenges involved in the process of implementation were investigated, and an AR prototype was co-designed with the OTs. They found the AR tool to be potentially beneficial as it allows them to search, find, and select assistive technologies (ATs) for use in homes and to demonstrate the home-modification plans to users. The tool will enable users to envision the most appropriate scenarios when purchasing and utilizing ATs in the home.
