The research process consisted of a literature study for gathering all the requirements for such a system and the development of a prototype, whose usability has been evaluated, as well as the willingness of people to adopt this innovation using observational methods such as questionnaire survey method. Results are presented in this report and conclusions are drawn. The study shows that most of the respondents are willing to adopt this product. | en_US |
