COGNITIVE REPLICATION THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY
In one embodiment of the present invention, environment information corresponding to a user is received. A target environment is simulated in augmented reality based on the environment information. Physiological information corresponding to the user is received. A cognitive state of the user is determined based on the physiological information. In response to determining that the cognitive state of the user is not a target cognitive state, the target environment is modified in augmented reality to achieve the target cognitive state.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving environment information corresponding to a user, wherein the environment information comprises information by using an AR (Augmented Reality) device, selected from the group consisting of: traffic density during a commute of the user to a surgical area setting, a commute time of the user to the surgical area setting, and weather at the surgical area setting;
simulating, in augmented reality, a target environment based on the environment information, wherein the target environment corresponds to the surgical area;
receiving physiological information corresponding to the user, wherein the physiological information comprises information selected from the group consisting of: brain wave information, heart rate, breath rate, internal body temperature, and blood pressure;
determining a cognitive state of the user based on the physiological information, wherein a target cognitive state is stress;
responsive to determining that the cognitive state of the user is not the target cognitive state, modifying, in augmented reality, the target environment by using an AR device to achieve the target cognitive state, wherein modifying the target environment comprises: simulating, in augmented reality, objects or sounds in the target environment, and wherein objects include nurse avatars or patient avatars, and wherein sounds include surgical machine noise;
responsive to determining that the cognitive state of the user is the target cognitive state, evaluating a user performance while the user is in the target cognitive state; and
responsive to determining that the modification achieves the target cognitive state, storing the modification as an indicator of the cognitive state for the user.
