Abstract - The crisis of the global pandemic Covid 19 has led to various health care needs in the society. Scientists, research
scholars, enthusiasts, developers, doctors across all nations are striving to provide support by all means.People now-a-days show
more dependency on the technologies than ever before. One such thing is on navigation technologies. Navigation technologies
are well enhanced with the help of wireless communications such as the GPS, bluetooth and wifi systems. Google maps for
Android, Here maps for Microsoft are some of the examples that satisfy the needs for navigation. However these cannot be
accurate in minute levels. To put in other words, indoor navigation is a problem, which arises as a global issue for navigation
industries.
Key Words -- AR/MR, Baby-care, Covid19, Indoor navigation, Future Technology.
I. INTRODUCTION
This paper provides the solutions for problems with most of the baby-care industries succeeding a pandemic crisis like
Covid 19. Of all the known pandemics so far, most of them are contagious (Spread from one to another instantly). Being that
said, it is difficult to contain the disease’s spread without voluntary measures and awareness among people. Technologies
also play a vital role in reducing the risk factor to low. Immersive technologies like AR,VR and MR have significant role to
play during such pandemics as they are capable of non physical contact(real-life contact), thereby facilitating the user to
keep their distance.By, Sept 19 2020 the total active Covid 19 cases has reached over 26.5 Million world-wide for the first
time in the human history.
II. ISSUES OF A PANDEMIC
A. Social Distancing
Soon after the outbreak of any contagious disease the first preventive measure to be taken is social distancing. This part
of preventive measure is difficult to implement in public gathering sectors like malls, theaters, religious places and so on.
This leads to the second issue to come into action ( i.e, Lock down). However social distancing can be viewed and verified
using deep learning algorithms in certain facilitated places. Also as an individual there are AR/MR mobile apps that can help
you to maintain the distancing properly.
B. Lock Down
Lock down is seen as a cruel act of government in some areas, as it denies the rights of people to a certain extent. Lock
down is implemented mainly to keep social distancing in check. Certain necessary commodities like milk, petrol are
available at any time. But there are also other essential commodities as well, like the diaper for babies, where parents are
not able to identify the correct diaper size of the babies as the baby grows sooner in the course of time. This pandemic
makes it even more difficult for both the parents as well as the baby-care industries to deal with such things.
