Research and Innovation

Enhancing the Digital Museum Experience for Deaf Individuals with Special Needs through Augmented Reality in Support of Saudi Vision 2030
23 May 2025
The research aims to enrich the digital museum experience for people with special needs, specifically the deaf community, through the use of augmented reality (AR) technology. This contributes to enhancing their interaction with and understanding of the displayed content while supporting the achievement of Saudi Vision 2030 by empowering people with disabilities and providing them with opportunities to benefit from cultural and educational experiences. The research adopted the descriptive approach to analyze relevant literature and previous studies, along with the applied approach through conducting a field experiment at the National Museum of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh. Augmented reality technology was used on a selection of images and visual displays, and a questionnaire was distributed to measure the effectiveness of this experience in enriching the cultural and visual interaction of the deaf community. Among the key findings, participants confirmed that augmented reality technology significantly enhanced their focus on the exhibits and made the museum experience more enjoyable and easier to comprehend. Moreover, AR technology contributed to strengthening their integration and interaction within the museum environment and provided an educational and cultural experience that meets their visual needs. One of the main recommendations of the research is to expand the use of augmented reality technology in Saudi museums to cover various sections and exhibits, with a focus on adapting content to suit the needs of people with disabilities, particularly the deaf community. It is also recommended to design digital museum content supported by visually accessible sign language and integrate it with AR technologies to ensure the full interaction and comprehension of cultural and educational content by the deaf. Additionally, the research recommends training museum staff in the Kingdom on how to use and implement AR technologies in exhibitions, with an emphasis on the interactive and educational aspects for people with disabilities.
Evaluate the Functional Performance of the Proposed Smart Fabric for Equestrian Sports Clothing
28 Feb 2024
In recent years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strives to create an attractive environment for investment, productivity, competitiveness, and focus on the industrial and technology sectors. The Kingdom has also paid clear attention to sports to improve the quality of life for all segments of society and achieve the goals of its Vision 2030. Since the textile industry constitutes one of the basic and civilizational components for any society, this research aims to improve the functional performance properties of the fabric used in equestrian sports clothing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The research hypothesis was to verify that treating the fabric commonly used in equestrian sports clothing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with silver nanoparticles may improve the functional performance properties. The research followed the experimental method by treating the research sample of shirt fabric mixed from 95% cotton and 5% spandex with silver nanoparticles at three different concentrations (30-60-90 micrograms/ml) and evaluating the performance of the fabric before and after treatment in terms of bacterial resistance and some physical and mechanical properties. The study concluded that treating the fabric with silver nanoparticles improved some performance properties, the most prominent of which is resistance to bacteria, which increases directly with increasing concentration of silver nanoparticles. Likewise, the weight per square meter of the sample, stiffness in the warp and weft direction, and tensile strength in the warp direction increase with increasing solution treatment concentration. The research concluded with a set of recommendations, the most prominent of which is encouraging interest in treating blended fibers with nanotechnology to create sustainable fabrics suitable for clothing.
AI Role in Promoting Health Awareness and Guidance Initiatives in Saudi Arabia
01 Jan 2022
Since the onset of 2020, the utilization of AI has been on the rise in combating COVID-19. This swift adoption of AI technology is playing a crucial role in developing effective vaccines, enhancing testing tools, and assessing their impact. Such advancements signify the ongoing global technological revolution poised to reshape the future. Various matters require further attention, notably the necessity of enhancing national approved standards. The AI health initiative has played a major role in minimizing the impact of COVID-19 through diverse means. For instance, AI applications have been instrumental in alerting the healthcare sector to spikes in cases of the disease in public spaces and identifying potential sources of contagion. Modern technology has been employed to address issues related to crowded vehicles, utilizing radar systems that enhance the management of emergency situations. This research highlights the significance of utilizing artificial intelligence applications in health awareness and guidance initiatives, emphasizing the necessity of staying updated with the latest technologies and integrating them into community services in Saudi Arabia.
