Drawing Comparisons Drawing Comparisons Research project Author Marie-Clare Boothman Supervisor Dr Chris Exton B.Sc. Digital Media Design Department of Computer Science and Information Systems UNIVERSITY of LIMERICK April 2020 Abstract Title: Drawing Comparisons Author: Marie-Clare Boothman This thesis report presents a research project that investigated how artists interact with Augmented Reality, 3D printed and live physical models in their practice of observational drawing (in an experimental environment), to evaluate their experience of using the three representations as drawing subjects. The evaluation was undertaken using qualitative research methods. Results endorse AR as a favourable tool to support certain aspects of learning drawing and some AR design issues and unique affordances are discussed. i Declaration This final year project is presented in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Design. It is entirely my own work and has not been submitted to any other University or higher education institution, or for any other academic award in this University. Where there has been use made of the work of other people it has been fully acknowledged and fully referenced. ………………………………………………………..

Sinlae3 1Departments of Neurosurgery, 2Medical Information Technology, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, 3Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands E‑mail: *Pieter L. Kubben ‑ [email protected]; Remir S. N. Sinlae ‑ [email protected] *Corresponding author Received: 07 July 18 Accepted: 13 December 18 Published: 28 February 19 Abstract Background: Augmented reality (AR) has great potential for improving image‑guided neurosurgical procedures, but until recently, hardware was mostly custom‑made and difficult to distribute. Currently, commercially available low‑cost AR devices offer great potential for neurosurgery, but reports on technical feasibility are lacking. The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a low‑cost commercially available head‑mounted holographic AR device (the Microsoft Hololens) in the operating room. The Hololens is operated by performing specific hand gestures, which are recognized by the built‑in camera of the device. This would allow the neurosurgeon to control the device “touch free” even while wearing a sterile surgical outfit. Methods: The Hololens was tested in an operating room under two lighting conditions (general background theatre lighting only; and general background theatre lighting and operating lights) and wearing different surgical gloves (both bright and dark). All required hand gestures were performed, and voice recognition was evaluated against background noise consisting of two nurses talking at conversational speech level.

In this study, we applied a more publicly accessible 3D printer, Ultimaker 2+ with biodegradable polymer-polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate both three-dimensional bioscaffolds and auricular constructs (both solid and porous) prepared to fill the gap as potential solutions for both cartilage defects and microtia respectively by managing of the CAD-CAM workflow. As an overview, the modified CAD-CAM workflow was regarded as the uniform preparation fabricating types of scaffolds to identify the general printability of PCL with Ultimaker 2+. For bioscaffolds, limit test was performed on original scaffold, the resolution for printing scaffolds by PCL was identified as 600 microns by applying method of uniform scaling and limit approaching. For customized auricular constructs, we extract the model from MRI/CT scan and use its mirror image for the general shape of model building in a relatively customized way to fabricate solid auricular constructs.
