| Abstract: | After being hospitalized, a growing number of patients and their families prepare for healthcare and long-term treatment at home. Therefore, customizing their home to suit patientsʼ long-term care is crucial. However, adapting their home to fit the patientʼs needs comes with challenges and there are only limited facilitative elements to address this challenge. To deal with this issue, guidelines for placing furniture and tailored room setup depending on their mobility limitation have been developed in this project, along with an Augmented Reality (AR) App that provides an experience of rearranging their room. The app's core functionalities include AR furniture rearrangement mockups and interactive guidance provision. The app’s system customizes the guidance based on the user’s input about physical challenges, allowing users to organize their homes appropriately. According to evaluation from experts and patient groups, the results indicate that the prototype provides users with effective insights for rearranging their rooms. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between the app's guidance and the efficiency of the home rearrangement. Furthermore, this research can contribute to providing optimized advice and experiences for their room arrangement that can be applicable in any room. |
