Die Notwendigkeit optometrischer Dienstleistungen, die über die Refraktion hinausgehen, ist seit einiger Zeit bekannt. Doch für den Beweis, dass und wie sie im Fachgeschäft funktionieren, fehlen meist die Erfahrungen. In dieser Abschlussarbeit wird dies an einem seit über 15 Jahren angewendeten Optometrie-Konzept eines augenoptischen Fachgeschäfts bewiesen. Es werden die Anfänge der Pioniere retrospektiv betrachtet, die gegenwärtige Anwendung des optometrischen Untersuchungskonzepts und Möglichkeiten, die die Zukunft bietet.
With the increasing pressure to deliver additional software functionality, software engineers and developers are often confronted with the dilemma of sufficient software testing. One aspect to avoid is test redundancy, and measuring test (or code or statement) coverage can help focus test development on those areas that are not yet sufficiently tested. As software projects grow, it can be difficult to visualize both the software product and the software testing area and their dependencies. This paper contributes VR-TestCoverage, a Virtual Reality (VR) solution concept for visualizing and interacting with test coverage, test results, and test dependency data in VR. Our VR implementation shows its feasibility. The evaluation results based on a case study show its support for three testing-related scenarios.
As systems grow in complexity, the interdisciplinary nature of systems engineering makes the visualization and comprehension of the underlying system models challenging for the various stakeholders. This, in turn, can affect validation and realization correctness. Furthermore, stakeholder collaboration is often hindered due to the lack of a common medium to access and convey these models, which are often partitioned across multiple 2D diagrams. This paper contributes VR-SysML, a solution concept for visualizing and interacting with SysML models in Virtual Reality (VR). Our prototype realization shows its feasibility, and our evaluation results based on a case study shows its support for the various SysML diagram types in VR, cross-diagram element recognition via our backplane followers concept, and depicting further related (SysML and non-SysML) models side-by-side in VR.
Repeatable processes are fundamental for describing how enterprises and organizations operate, for production, for Industry 4.0, etc. As digitalization and automation progresses across all organizations and industries, including enterprises, business, government, manufacturing, and IT, evidence-based comprehension and analysis of the processes involved, including their variations, anomalies, and performance, becomes vital for an increasing set of stakeholders. Process Mining (PM) relies on logs or processes (as such evidence-based) to provide process-centric analysis data, yet insights are not necessarily visually accessible for a larger set of stakeholders (who may not be process or data analysts). Towards addressing certain challenges described in the Process Mining Manifesto, this paper contributes VR-ProcessMine, a solution for visualizing and interacting with PM results in Virtual Reality (VR). Our realization shows its feasibility, and a case-based evaluation provides insights into its capabilities.
The increasing demand for software functionality necessitates an increasing amount of program source code that is retained and managed in version control systems, such as Git. As the number, size, and complexity of Git repositories increases, so does the number of collaborating developers, maintainers, and other stakeholders over a repository’s lifetime. In particular, visual limitations of Git tooling hampers repository comprehension, analysis, and collaboration across one or multiple repositories with a larger stakeholder spectrum. This paper contributes VR-Git, a Virtual Reality (VR) solution concept for visualizing and interacting with Git repositories in VR. Our prototype realization shows its feasibility, and our evaluation results based on a case study show its support for repository comprehension, analysis, and collaboration via branch, commit, and multi-repository scenarios.
A complex and dynamic IT landscape with evermore digital elements, relations, and content presents a challenge for Enterprise Architecture (EA). Disparate digital repositories, including Knowledge Management Systems (KMS), Enterprise Content Management Systems (ECMS), and Enterprise Architecture Tools (EAT), often remain disjointed. And even if integrated, insights remain hindered by current visualization limitations, making it increasingly difficult to analyze, manage, and gain insights into the digital enterprise reality. This paper contributes our nexus-based Virtual Reality (VR) solution concept VR-EA+TCK that enhances and amalgamates EAT with KMS and ECMS capabilities. By enabling visualization, navigation, and interaction in VR with dynamically-generated EA diagrams, knowledge/value chains, and KMS/ECMS digital entities, it sets the groundwork for stakeholder-accessible grassroots enterprise modeling/analysis and future collaboration in a metaverse. An implementation shows its feasibility, while a case study demonstrates its potential using enterprise analysis scenarios: ECMS/KMS coverage in the EA, business processes, knowledge chains, Wardley Maps, and risk analysis.
Ziel: Eine Analyse der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Literatur zu Orthokeratologie bei Myopie. Es werden Studienergebnisse zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Orthokeratologie miteinander verglichen und auf ihre Übereinstimmung überprüft. Der Fokus wird auf die Veränderungen der visuellen Wahrnehmung und der kornealen Beschaffenheit während und nach der Anwendung von Orthokeratologie gelegt.
Today’s Industry 4.0 Smart Factories involve complicated and highly automated processes. Nevertheless, certain crucial activities such as machine maintenance remain that require human involvement. For such activities, many factors have to be taken into account, like worker safety or worker qualification. This adds to the complexity of selection and assignment of optimal human resources to the processes and overall coordination. Contemporary Business Process Management (BPM) Systems only provide limited facilities regarding activity resource assignment. To overcome these, this contribution pro- poses a BPM-integrated approach that applies fuzzy sets and rule processing for activity assignment. Our findings suggest that our approach has the potential for improved work distribution and cost savings for Industry 4.0 production processes. Furthermore, the scalability of the approach provides efficient performance even with a large number of concurrent activity assignment requests and can be applied to complex production scenarios with minimal effort.
Telemedicine assisted non-mydriatic Fundus imaging for detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Colombia
(2022)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a well-recognized complication of diabetes mellitus where retinal function is compromised. It is considered a public health disease and is the fifth leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. But although the worldwide prevalence is continually increasing, little is known about the frequency of this disease in Colombia, South America. On the other hand, telemedicine is presented as a tool that has the potential to improve access to health care services, for remote or rural populations, and for those who have limited access due to physical or other disabilities. Recent technological advances in telecommunication and digital imaging, including fundus photography, telemedicine represents a valuable clinical aid for the documentation and diagnosis of ocular pathologies, and therefore helps to minimize adverse outcomes associated with chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus.
