IoT-supported Cloud-based Mobile Augmented Reality

— While modern mobile augmented reality (AR) is already incredibly impressive, it also has many limitations. Because environmental awareness is an area where AR currently makes a lot of mistakes and there is obvious room for improvement, researchers have been working on architectures that may be able to help. In this paper we discuss efforts to enable next-generation mobile augmented reality via the internet of things (IoT). Augmented reality on nextgeneration mobile devices, in particular ensures the dependability and safety of the upcoming augmented reality applications. In one of these architectures, environmental sensors and actuators are used to provide additional information to mobile AR systems or to modify the state of the systems.
