Medical Space

High-Level Project Summary

This is an ar web page with a virtual avatar, which works with a voice-to-voice chatbor, which allows you to make basic inquiries about symptoms and learn important information about possible diseases in space.

Detailed Project Description

We want to make a chatbot in mixed reality that allows astronauts with simple questions to have an iterative experience that clearly explains what the symptoms it presents can be associated with, it currently works with a small website implemented on 8wall that allows us to create the augmented reality application and manage the avatars and animations in a dynamic way adjusted to what the chatbot is doing, in the future we want to connect this system with artificial intelligence models such as openai to generate more realistic dialogues, and add a base broader data set of symptoms and descriptions

Space Agency Data

we rely on how the Performance Readiness Evaluation Tool (PRET) works to create our application

Hackathon Journey

We first wanted to develop it for smart glasses, but since these are not currently available for most people, we opted to use an augmented reality application that can be viewed on the mobile and adapt the browser audio controls to interact with the user. , it was a challenge to implement the chatbot model so that it only works in the browser without external connections, but we were able to achieve it, in the future our goal is to implement it in smart glasses

Turning STEM into STEAM

A goal of open science is to make scientific information available to all, and original and innovative approaches can be helpful to effectively communicate scientific information to people with different cultural, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds. Your challenge is to develop a creative method that uses the arts to share and explain the design, process, and/or scientific results from a NASA or partner space agency research project to your audience—i.e., develop an approach that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM).
