Abstract

We present an Augmented Reality (AR) experience, enabling user interaction with a Virtual Human (VH) of an older adult. We demonstrate the feasibility of the technology to foster communication and social connection between caregivers (users) and older adults (the VH). We developed a 3D model of an embodied virtual geriatric patient that demonstrates awareness of its environment and conversations, and implemented a networking protocol for remote response control with a human in the loop.
