Architecture for Visualizing Indoor Air Quality Data with Augmented Reality Based Cognitive Internet of Things

Abstract

Today’s generation is witnessing a monumental development in terms of smart devices. Due to the availability of various services at our fingertips, people tend to stay indoors. Thus, it is essential to provide Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring that improves indoor environments using technological advancements. Accordingly, Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) are considered as the major indispensable aspects of computing technologies and immersive virtual technologies by individuals and broadly applied in our daily transactions. Hence, merging these technologies is a big prominence in order to achieve interactive visualization for the smart IAQ system. In this context, we propose a new IAQ architecture based on Cognitive Internet of Things (CIoT) using AR. The proposed architecture shows great potential to integrate IoT for IAQ data with AR visualization. It enables intuitive interaction between users and IoT devices and further enhances the visualization of the data collected from IoT sensors, which effectively contribute to improving the user experience and usability.
