Edge Computing exploits computational capabilities deployed at the very edge of the network to support applications with low latency requirements. Such capabilities can reside in small embedded devices that integrate dedicated hardware -- e.g., a GPU -- in a low cost package. But these devices have limited computing capabilities compared to standard server grade equipment. When deploying an Edge Computing based application, understanding whether the available hardware can meet target requirements is key in meeting the expected performance. In this paper, we study the feasibility of deploying Augmented Reality applications using Embedded Edge Devices (EEDs). We compare such deployment approach to one exploiting a standard dedicated server grade machine. Starting from an empirical evaluation of the capabilities of these devices, we propose a simple theoretical model to compare the performance of the two approaches. We then validate such model with NS-3 simulations and study their feasibility. Our results show that there is no one-fits-all solution. If we need to deploy high responsiveness applications, we need a centralized server grade architecture and we can in any case only support very few users. The centralized architecture fails to serve a larger number of users, even when low to mid responsiveness is required. In this case, we need to resort instead to a distributed deployment based on EEDs.
We present a congestion-aware routing solution for indoor evacuation, which produces real-time individual-customized evacuation routes among multiple destinations while keeping tracks of all evacuees locations. A population density map, obtained on-t
In this paper, we present a fully-customized AR display design that considers the users prescription, interpupillary distance, and taste of fashion. A free-form image combiner embedded inside the prescription lens provides augmented images onto the v
Fluoroscopic X-ray guidance is a cornerstone for percutaneous orthopaedic surgical procedures. However, two-dimensional observations of the three-dimensional anatomy suffer from the effects of projective simplification. Consequently, many X-ray image
This study considers modern surgical navigation systems based on augmented reality technologies. Augmented reality glasses are used to construct holograms of the patients organs from MRI and CT data, subsequently transmitted to the glasses. This, in
We present an early study designed to analyze how city planning and the health of senior citizens can benefit from the use of augmented reality (AR) using Microsofts HoloLens. We also explore whether AR and VR can be used to help city planners receiv
