In the last decade, we have witnessed rapid technology advancements associated with AR, VR, and MR devices. This has led to several business- and consumer-oriented products becoming available on the market. Over the years, both start-ups and major companies have developed fascinating and accessible devices, opening many new possibilities in various domains. The new possibilities for the training and education industry are particularly compelling. Consequently, it is no surprise that these technologies are actively being evaluated for various training contexts (Xie et al., 2021) and compared to their traditional equivalent solutions (Gross et al., 2023). In a near future, these innovations will directly impact our professional and personal environments, from providing new simple collaboration tools (Wang et al., 2019) up to how our health-care specialists are being trained (Schild et al., 2022).

Today, most of us have more accounts with corresponding usernames and passwords than we can count. Online banking, shopping, streaming, and social media, among other things, require the user to authenticate, or prove, their identity to utilize the provided service. Keeping track of a multitude of accounts becomes burdensome, and many of us turn toward the usage of weak or recycled credentials that pose a security risk. On the other hand, to avoid said security risks, many of us trade our privacy for convenience and use social identities to log in, giving the companies that manage these identities the ability to track our behavior.

With the advancement of medical care and technology, human life expectancy is increasing, many advanced countries have aging societies, and the elderly have increasing needs for society to address; these have become some of the main problems to be solved in modern society (Chang et al., 2021). To solve these problems, long-term care institutions have become one of the solutions. In addition, dementia is the most important social problem among elderly individuals (Tsang et al., 2020). In most Asian countries, the solution to the problem of dementia in the elderly is to establish long-term care institutions, such as villages for elderly individuals and nursing homes. However, there is still the problem of companionship in an aging society. The needs of the elderly lie in companionship. Through family companionship, the elderly can share the joys of daily life with their families.
随着医疗保健和技术的进步,人类的预期寿命越来越长,许多发达国家都出现了老龄化社会,老年人对社会的需求越来越大;这些已经成为现代社会需要解决的一些主要问题(Chang et al., 2021)。为了解决这些问题,长期护理机构成为解决方案之一。此外,痴呆症是老年人中最重要的社会问题(Tsang et al., 2020)。在大多数亚洲国家,解决老年人痴呆问题的办法是建立长期护理机构,如老年人村和养老院。然而,在老龄化社会中,陪伴问题仍然存在。老年人的需要在于陪伴。透过家庭陪伴,长者可以与家人分享日常生活的乐趣。

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have played an important role in our society. AR aims to improve our perception of reality, while VR aims to create a new or artificial reality. There is no doubt that the results achieved in these two areas are remarkable. It is, however, quite surprising that our understanding of reality is not yet complete. In fact, a better understanding of reality will be essential for future developments in these areas.

Learning power electronic circuits through simulation is one of the effective methods available for students and researchers to understand the subject effectively. This article aims at providing a panoramic view of different software tools used for simulating electrical circuits, enabling students to make an appropriate choice among various tools for a specific application. In this regard, a simple buck converter operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) is considered and realized using two different approaches, viz., coding and modeling using the Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB), Scientific Laboratory (Scilab), and LTspice (by Linear Technology) software tools. Symbolic object function (syms) and ordinary differential equation (ODE) solvers are used to solve coupled ODEs in MATLAB. Detailed analyses of the frequency response for constant voltage ${(}{G}_{text{vd}}{)}$ and average current operations ${(}{G}_{text{id}}{)}$ are carried out. Although Scilab is open source software, it provides the same accuracy as that of a licensed tool, such as MATLAB. Furthermore, the LTspice software tool is observed to provide a quicker frequency response when compared to MATLAB.
