Abstract

Partially disabled people and elderlies need care givers in their daily routine, including performing simple activities such as reaching out for switches and electrical appliances. The ageing population in Singapore has increased tremendously which will lead to more demand for care givers and domestic helpers. But they incur much cost. With the popularity of mobile devices and the emergence of smart home devices today, it is possible to control and communicate with home appliances remotely. In this paper, we will describe how we implemented augmented reality, voice control & web server to control these home electrical appliances for elderlies and disabled.
