The embedded device components, such as the ARM processor, NOR Flash memory, and RTL network chip, are utilized to optimize the hardware structure of the cloud service platform. This optimization aims to enhance data processing and storage efficiency, as well as improve the reliability and durability of system operation. The unstructured feature grasping algorithm is employed to gather rural tourism resource data for target demand characterization. Associated algorithms are then utilized to develop data analysis, service recommendation, and tourism management modules, creating a comprehensive tourism cloud service platform. Additionally, the shortest path algorithm is used to enhance database storage speed, improve business docking efficiency, establish a big data monitoring center, comprehensively monitor changes in the scenic area and related industries, and enhance platform service efficiency. It has been proven through experiments that the latency of the tourism management cloud service platform, based on the embedded system, is reduced by almost 46.7% compared to the traditional approach, and the throughput is increased to 0.69 b/s. The practical application effect is positive, as it contributes to the development of tourism resources and the economic growth of rural areas. It also brings about economic and social benefits.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Virtual reality, intelligent clouds, and other technologies are at the heart of today’s wearable technologies. It is a design product that employs cutting-edge technology to provide sturdy functioning and superior safety. However, the current study on smart wearable devices is more related to engineering technology, and there is relatively little research on the interaction behavior and user experience among users, devices, and environments. Incorporating the design object, application context, user experience, and other factors into the design of smart wearable devices can help promote the transformation of smart wearable devices from technology-driven to user experience-driven. Therefore, it is important to introduce the concepts of context-awareness and interaction design in the design of smart wearable devices. Through contextual cognitive theory, the study studies the contextual cognitive features of users, deconstructs and analyzes the interaction and experience of smart wearable devices, and discovers the relevant elements influencing user experience. The theoretical research results are then integrated with the interaction design system to connect the relationships among users, behaviors, scenes, and technologies, and a context-aware system for smart wearable devices based on scene perception is constructed. The influence of different aspects on the recognition accuracy of the system is analyzed, and the results show that the system proposed in this paper has very superior performance in gesture recognition.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"1 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141655687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One important factor is supervision by a competent project manager with higher emotional intelligence (EI) skills especially in these pandemic times of uncertainty. The selection of this kind of project manager is, by nature, one of the most important and, at the same time, most complicated decisions to be made due to a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Based on previous studies, the human emotion element is often overlooked in the decision-making process. Modern evaluation would require a multimodal dataset to evaluate a competent candidate for the position. In addition, it is identified that classical MCDM is static and unable to quantify real-time human emotion. Hence, in this study, our approach uses an integrated techniques for MCDM and deep learning to address the managers’ selection problem. Accordingly, a number of techniques, such as convolutional neural networks and other variations of algorithms, will be tested and compared. The emotion in our facial emotion recognition intensities value will be forwarded to MCDM as part of the input and eventually yield a non-bias and quality decision. It is anticipated that this study will enable employers to simplify and implement an effective decision-making process by embedding EI into the decision-making process to improve the quality of their hires and source the perfect candidate for construction project managers. Therefore, this study is aligned with the national construction agenda under the Construction 4.0 Strategic Plan (2021–2025), which requires changes to be made within the construction industry in tandem with the rapid development of technology and smarter systems. It emphasizes the utilization of digital technology as well as skills and knowledge enhancement.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141654111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the “Fisiobem” app in rehabilitating patients with PFP through facial mimicry exercises. The app uses the device’s camera to identify the user and measure the range of motion during the exercises, applying the ARKit framework to quantify the intensity of the movements. We conducted a usability study with 34 participants unaffected by PFP, performing mimics with different amplitudes. Results show that glasses did not affect recognition accuracy in exercises such as raising eyebrows, frowning, and closing the eyes tightly. As for wrinkling the nose exercise, glasses impacted higher intensities. As for the beard or mustache, lower lip protrusion, compressing the lips, smiling, showing teeth and blowing out filling cheeks were not affected. However, when smiling with lips together, beard and mustache influenced intensities above 75%. It is important to highlight that this study has limitations, such as the sample size and lack of consideration for ethnic diversity among participants. Future research with larger and more diverse samples is needed to validate and generalize these findings and explore the nuances of interactions between facial features and facial recognition algorithms. Despite these limitations, the approach facilitated by the “Fisiobem” application offers significant benefits, especially for patients with PFP who face challenges in accessing specialized therapists. It allows patients to complement their treatment by performing guided facial mimicry exercises at home. The application helps individuals accurately perform the exercises and effectively track the progress of their rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"42 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the technology has been widely explored in other educational fields, its application in architectural heritage remains insufficient, particularly in the design of collaborative tasks, assessment of user satisfaction, and implementation of incentive mechanisms. This paper encompasses three research components: a detailed description of collaborative tasks in architectural heritage education using MAR, the development of a satisfaction model to evaluate the effectiveness of these tasks, and the construction of an educational collaboration incentive mechanism.
