We collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee; a subcommittee of the Industrial Applications Society, which provides a platform for leading practice discovery among electrical engineers who are responsible for electrotechnologies in school districts, colleges, universities and university-affiliated healthcare systems.
In many cases, with research university power systems with upwards of 100 megawatts of base load supplying campuses and academic medical centers, many campus power systems are larger than investor owned, municipal or cooperatively-owned electrical utilities. In recent years, many large educational organizations are selling their power systems to private industry to own and operate, for example.
The committee meets every other Tuesday — 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas. Standards Michigan also hosts its own colloquium on Power at least once per month. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
Investigating Augmented Reality Animals as Companions

ABSTRACT. Human-animal interaction has been studied in a variety of settings and for a range of populations, with some findings pointing towards its benefits for physical, mental and social human health. Technological advances opened up new opportunities for researchers to replicate human-animal interactions with robotic and graphical animals, and to investigate human-animal relationships for different applications such as mental health and education. Although graphical animals have been studied in the past in the physical health and education domains, most of the time, their realizations were bound to computer screens, limiting their full potential, especially in terms of companionship and the provision of support. In this work, we describe past research efforts investigating influences of human-animal interaction on mental health and different realization of such animals. We discuss the idea that augmented reality could offer potential for human-animal interaction in terms of mental and social health, and propose several aspects of augmented reality animals that warrant further research for such interactions.
