The application can extend the small card with external details like resumes or videos. We collect hundreds of business cards nowadays. I'm sure you will need a special one to stand out from the others!AR business card demo ### AR equipment guide - Coffee Machine [Augmented Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/ar-equipment-guide-coffee-machine/ As part of the Cyberport Incubation program, we have been working on AR 3D equipment guides to teach users how to troubleshoot electronic equipments.The application can detect and track 3D physical objects in real time and generate augmented instructions on top. ### AR real time video [Augmented Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/ar-real-time-video/ We worked with a 3D museum in the peak, the most popular tourist spot in Hong Kong. Tourists can take a funny video with augmented effects. We implemented and setup the whole system (including screen preview, video capturing and control, and deliverables) for the museum. ### Merge Cube AR [Augmented Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/merge-cube-ar/ We have built an AR educational application using MergeCube, which is a specially designed physical cube for easy handle and tracking. The augmented contents stick to the cube and users can hold and rotate to view different materials. In this demo, we have included numerous elements, including videos, text and 3D scene based on a story of chinese culture. ### VR training - MTR [Virtual Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/vr-training-mtr/ This is a VR training demo to built for MTR to train drivers on how to stop the train when approaching the platform. We built all the 3D assets including the stations, the train internals and controls panels. There is also some basic control using the VR controller. ### VR training for wheelchairs [Virtual Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/vr-training-for-wheelchairs/ We have worked with Hospital Authority to develop a VR training application for wheelchair users to practice parking when using public transports. It is scary for beginner wheelchair users to get into a bus and park properly. Unfortunately, providing real world training scenario has too high cost. With VR, users can now do it at home. Our application can connect with the actual wheelchairs joysticks to mimick the real situation as close as possible.VR Wheelchair Control Demo ### VR shopping analytics [Virtual Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/vr-shopping-analytics/ We have been developing a VR shopping analytics solutions for retails store. Analysts can setup floor plane and product arrangements. Trial customers can then virtually shop in the store. Actions such as eyeballs and pickup actions are tracked and recorded. The experimental data can then be visualized and analysed.Snapshop VR Shopping Experience Analysis ### VR anti-gamling educational game [Virtual Reality] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/vr-anti-gamling-educational-game/ We worked with Tung Wah Group of Hospitals to build an interactive VR game to promote anti-gambling for students. It contains full storylines, and students need to role play a character to make different decisions along the game. ### Sanbot applications [Artificial Intelligence] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/sanbot-applications/ We are Sanbot developers, and have developed numerous robot applications for enterprise.Below is a reception robot that we partnered with The Wave, a coworking space in Hong Kong.The robot can be used in events as a moving photo booths. ### Real time electronic equipments detection [Artificial Intelligence] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/real-time-electronic-equipments-detection/ As part of the Cyberport Incubation program, we have developed a equipment recognition and applications. We train custom machine learning models to detect the desired equipments and popup information in realtime to guide equipments users.We are happy to partner with Sun Hung Kei Properties and our solutions have been used in one of their property, Babington Hill. We have also been building prototypes for Hotels. ### Photo background removal [Artificial Intelligence] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/photo-background-removal/ We have worked with ChinaChem Group to develop a custom photo taking applications that can blend people into historical photos. Back in the days, a large green screen is required to extract the persons out from the background. Now with the advanced of AI and Machine Learning, we can do this effect with natural background efficiently.Technical details about the implements are explained in this medium blog post:https://medium.com/softmind-engineering/image-blending-with-mask-r-cnn-and-opencv-eb5ac ### Itch realtime detection [Artificial Intelligence] URL: https://softmind-production.up.railway.app/portfolio/itch-realtime-detection/ We worked in a research project with a dermatologists in finding non-intrusive way to ease itch problems. As part of the projects, we want to detect scratching events (e.g. when a patient scratch). Able to detect this kind of events is vital in researching possible solutions.For this project, we use the MYO armband which can capture readings regarding arm movement. and we developed a custom deep learning models to detect and classify events based on the captured signals.
