Demo/poster abstract: XReality research lab — Augmented reality meets Internet of Things

This demonstration presents a novel system architecture and implementation that integrates Augmented Reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to create a 4D experience for the user. This 4D experience enables users to interact with IoT networks through avatars and holograms which represent the digital twins of the sensor data. This work is part of the newly developed research lab at Texas State University called, XReality and the demonstration is focused on the use case of wireless sensor networks. More precisely, the users of this demo will be able to interact with the IoT network and visualize network activities using AR devices. Three use cases will be presented in the area of object recognition, IoT to hologram interaction and net-work topology visualization. The proposed technology can be used for the enhancement of the educational process of sensor and computer networks classes since students can visualize network activities using AR devices.
