The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant techno-logical advancement, with potential applications across various sectors. This thesis explored how AR can be utilized as a user interface for controlling IoT devices, aiming to improve user experience and operational efficiency. By developing a prototype application, the research investigated the feasibility, challenges, and practical implications of this integration.
The AR application was developed using the Unity real-time development platform and Vuforia Engine, ena-bling users to control an AC fan through virtual controls overlaid in the real-world environment. The imple-mentation involved 3D scanning for interfacing virtual information, allowing users to adjust fan speed, moni-tor temperature readings in real time, and visualize components in detail. Despite facing technical challenges such as compatibility issues and data transmission latency, the application provided valuable insights into the practical integration of AR and IoT technologies.
The successful implementation of the AR application demonstrated its potential to enhance user experiences by providing real-time visualization of IoT data and intuitive control over device parameters. The research highlights the importance of addressing technical and usability challenges for the broader adoption of AR-IoT solutions. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to advancing the knowledge in AR-IoT integration, paving the way for future innovations and applications in diverse sectors.
