Design and Implementation of Sensor Network Device Control System with AR Technology

Abstract:

Sensor networks, which can immediately detect events and situations and automatically control actuators, are expected to proliferate in the future, even though their visualization of sensor networks has not been emphasized. Identifying broken nodes in real environments remains difficult using a traditional visualization tool that plots the virtual diagram on which sensor nodes are put. In this paper, we propose and implement a control system of sensor network devices with AR technology. Our proposed system displays sensor data and network information such as the link status, the packet data, and the traffic in the sensor network on an AR interface. In addition, we control the sensor devices through the AR interface. Our proposed system allows users to intuitively acquire the status of sensor networks. We can also control the devices through the AR interface.
