Abstract
The paper describes 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.
