Virtual try-on of clothes has received much attention recently due to its commercial potential. It can be used for online shopping or intelligent recommendation to narrow down the selections to a few designs and sizes. In this paper, we present a mixed reality system for 3D virtual clothes try-on that enables a user to see herself wearing virtual clothes while looking at a mirror display, without taking off her actual clothes. The user can select various virtual clothes for trying-on. The system physically simulates the selected virtual clothes on the user's body in real-time and the user can see virtual clothes fitting on the her mirror image from various angles as she moves. The major contribution of this paper is that we automatically customize an invisible (or partially visible) avatar based on the user's body size and the skin color and use it for proper clothes fitting, alignment and clothes simulation in our virtual try-on system. We present three scenarios: i) virtual clothes on the avatar, ii) virtual clothes on the user's image and iii) virtual clothes on the avatar blended with the user's face image. We have conducted a user study to evaluate the effectiveness of these three solutions from the end user's perception of quality attributes, cognitive attributes and attitude towards using. The user study shows that among these three scenarios, the second one is most preferred by the users and for 50% of them the experience they had with our system was sufficient to make the purchase decision for the outfits they virtually tried-on.

Medication non-adherence is a major problem to all stakeholders, posing escalating costs and risks to patients as well as substantial economic burden to the health care industry. Solutions that attempt to broaden the functions and capabilities of medication management have hitherto been employing a narrow-focused approach, often failing to address the multitude of factors that leads to the phenomena. In this paper, we present an experimental comparison of user attitude towards medication adherence using a single-focused versus a multifaceted personalized medication management system that has been implemented with elements of motivational and educational strategies. The findings from this research suggest evidence of the significance and usefulness of applying a multifaceted approach, in particular, the implementation of motivational and educational strategies in the design of a personalized medication management system in addressing medication non-adherence.
