The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of augmented reality solutions that address challenges of aging at home. Fifty-four million older adults aged 65 and older live in the U.S. By 2050, that number will grow to almost 90 million, comprising nearly 20% of the U.S. population. This technology may help older adults stay physically, cognitively, and socially active to help combat physical and mental decline while in the comfort and safety of their own home. The potential benefits for the U.S. include reductions in healthcare costs and social services requirements, and improvements to the overall wellness of communities across the country.This I-Corps project is based on the development of generative artificial intelligence (AI). The generative AI algorithms “make sense” of one’s environment and procedurally generate scenarios in games and other interactive experiences. These algorithms have been previously demonstrated in a variety of lab environments and adapted for use in other technologies including video games. The techniques are ready to be transitioned to commercially available augmented reality experiences that “expand the world” for people aging at home and beyond. Core technologies may be deployed on tablets, phones, and augmented reality-specific hardware such as headsets as capabilities and adoption advance. In addition, the solution could allow content creators to rapidly specify compelling experiences that may be adapted to any user environment.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发增强现实解决方案，以应对在家中衰老的挑战。到2050年，有5000万年龄在65岁及65岁以上的老年人居住，这一数字将增长到近9000万，占美国人口的近20％。这项技术可以帮助老年人在身体，认知上保持身体，认知和社会活动，以帮助对身体和精神衰落打击自己的舒适和安全。美国的潜在收益包括减少医疗保健成本和社会服务要求的要求，以及对全国社区整体健康的改善。此I-Corps项目基于通用人工智能（AI）的发展。通用的AI算法“使人有意义”，并在程序和其他互动体验中生成场景。这些算法先前已在各种实验室环境中进行了证明，并适用于其他技术，包括视频游戏。这些技术准备过渡到商业上可用的增强现实体验，这些经验“扩展世界”，为在家中及以后而老化的人们。核心技术可以部署在平板电脑，电话和增强现实的硬件上，例如耳机，例如功能和采用提前。此外，该解决方案可以使内容创建者能够快速指定可能适应任何用户环境的引人注目的经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来诚实地表示支持。
