This project aims at helping people to relief their fear of cockroach, to encourage people to face and self-help their phobia and to spread the treatment widely.
To achieve the goal, the project has defined a number of sub-objectives as follows:
| Level | Cockroach number | Distance between cockroach and player | Action | Cockroach movement | Interaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Single | Farthest | N/A | Static | NO |
| 2 | Single | Farthest | N/A | Walk independently | NO |
| 3 | Multiple | Far | Transform the camera to the right | Walk independently | NO |
| 4 | Multiple | Far – Median | Move the camera freely | One model moves toward to player others walk independently | YES |
| 5 | Multiple | Median | Click 3 buttons | Three groups of roaches walk on the plate. One button click with one group of roach moving forward to player | YES |
| 6 | Single | Close | Place left hand on the table | Static cockroach | YES |
| 7 | Single | Close | Place left hand on the table | Roach moves around the hand | YES |
| 8 | Single | Close | Place left hand on the table | Roach tries to go on the hand | YES |
| 9 | Single | Closest | Place left hand on the table | Roach climbs on hand | YES |

After analyzing the questionnaire result, the treatment is successful in certain extent. Players can have an instantaneous decrease of fear to cockroach. Limitations are also found in the product. The convenience of the game is reduced because of the AR card. People need to print the AR card which reduces people willingness to the treatment. Slow detection of the AR card brings confusion to Players. Players may not know when the AR card is successfully detected for tapping the screen in between Level 6 to Level 9 which raises possibility that players preview the content of the levels and reduces the effect of those levels. Players agreed that the treatment has certain extent to relieve their fear of cockroach but fail to maintain for a long time. A follow-up improvement can be obtained by using real time depth sensor attached on mobile phones where depth camera is a trend to future mobile devices.
Jonathan handles all external affairs include business development, patents write up and public relations. He is frequently interviewed by media and is considered a pioneer in 3D printing products.
After graduating from OUHK, Krutz obtained an M.Sc. in Engineering Management from CityU. He is now completing his second master degree, M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, at CUHK. Krutz has a wide range of working experience. He has been with Siemens, VTech, and PCCW.
Hugo Leung Wai-yin, who graduated from his four-year programme in 2015, won the Best Paper Award for his ‘intelligent pill-dispenser’ design at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering’s International Conference on Consumer Electronics – China 2015.
The pill-dispenser alerts patients via sound and LED flashes to pre-set dosage and time intervals. Unlike units currently on the market, Hugo’s design connects to any mobile phone globally. In explaining how it works, he said: ‘There are three layers in the portable pillbox. The lowest level is a controller with various devices which can be connected to mobile phones in remote locations. Patients are alerted by a sound alarm and flashes. Should they fail to follow their prescribed regime, data can be sent via SMS to relatives and friends for follow up.’ The pill-dispenser has four medicine slots, plus a back-up with a LED alert, topped by a 500ml water bottle. It took Hugo three months of research and coding to complete his design, but he feels it was worth all his time and effort.
Hugo’s public examination results were disappointing and he was at a loss about his future before enrolling at the OUHK, which he now realizes was a major turning point in his life. He is grateful for the OUHK’s learning environment, its industry links and the positive guidance and encouragement from his teachers. The University is now exploring the commercial potential of his design with a pharmaceutical company. He hopes that this will benefit the elderly and chronically ill, as well as the society at large.
Soon after completing his studies, Hugo joined an automation technology company as an assistant engineer. He is responsible for the design and development of automation devices. The target is to minimize human labor and increase the quality of products. He is developing products which are used in various sections, including healthcare, manufacturing and consumer electronics.
