Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies converge to usher in a new era of interactive and immersive experiences. This research paper introduces a comprehensive framework and implementation strategy for the seamless integration of augmented reality (AR) environments with IoT functionality. We commence by configuring Unity Hub and installing necessary modules before delving into the complexities of incorporating augmented reality capabilities using the Vuforia Engine. We establish a target image database, substitute the primary camera with an augmented reality (AR) camera, and configure target images within the AR environment using a methodical procedure. By utilizing C# scripting, we augment user interaction through the incorporation of icons and a canvas onto the target image, thereby granting users the ability to intuitively control IoT devices. The culmination of our endeavors is the dissemination of the Internet of Things application infused with augmented reality on Android devices, thereby showcasing the profound capacity of this mutually beneficial association. The research we present offers valuable insights into the convergence of IoT and AR, which highlights the significance of this emergent technological convergence in shaping future interactions with digital environments and paves the way for innovative applications in a variety of domains.
