an approach to integration of physical and digital worlds through aggregation
of Internet of Things (IoT) service with the
Augmented Reality (AR) platform, AR Genie. The solution is generally
applicable, but concretely in this paper the IoT
service is provided by ekoNET platform which
provides the environmental data through AR based applications. The ekoNET solution is developed for a real-time monitoring
of air quality and other atmospheric condition parameters such as
temperature, air pressure and humidity. AR Genie is Software as a Service
(SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution
offering features and functionalities for creation and deployment of AR
applications using simple and intuitive drag and drop interface requiring no
programming knowledge. By extending the AR Genie platform with the ekoNET IoT service we were able
to demonstrate usage of a real-time environmental data within AR mobile
applications as well as to enable a new, more engaging way of IoT data visualization utilizing serious gaming and AR
technologies. Keywords: Smart
