Abstract: A computer-implemented method of matching a customer with a service provider, the method comprising: creating, by a computing device, a profile of a customer having a plurality of categorical values descriptive of or liked by the customer; creating, by the computing device, a profile of a service provider having a plurality of categorical values descriptive of or liked by the service provider; creating, by the computing device, a request by the customer to recommend a service provider, wherein the request includes one or more requested categorical and discrete values; and providing, by the computing device, ranked recommendations of service providers to the customer based on a comparison of the categorical values in the profiles of the customer and the service provider and the requested categorical and discrete values by the customer. A service provider can be a hair stylist.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of matching a first service provider searching for a job with an employer service provider, the method comprising: creating, by the computing device, a profile of a first service provider having a plurality of categorical values descriptive of or liked by the service provider; creating, by the computing device, a profile of an employer service provider having a plurality of categorical values descriptive of or liked by the employer service provider; creating, by the computing device, a job search request by the first service provider to recommend one or more employer service providers, wherein the job search request includes one or more requested categorical and discrete values; and providing, by the computing device, ranked recommendations of employer service providers based on a comparison of the profiles and the requested categorical and discrete values. A service provider can be a hair stylist.

Abstract: A system for virtual reality training, to acquire procedure movements in odontology, by sensing data concerning spatial position of a real hand-held element (2), three-dimensional representation of a virtual object (T) on a display screen (7), processing spatial position data for providing spatial display of a virtual instrument (OV) corresponding to the actual spatial position of the real element (2), supplying a virtual instrument (01-04) for operating on the virtual object (T) and modelling an interaction between the virtual instrument and said virtual object (T). The hand-held element (2) belongs to a haptic man-machine interface (IHM) comprising actuators controlled to supply the user holding in his hand the real element (2) with a force-feedback when the virtual instrument (OV) interacts with the virtual object (T). The invention is useful for pedagogical and professional purposes.
