Towards a Virtual Reality Home IoT Network Visualizer
This addresses the challenge for homeowners in managing the increasing number of connected household devices, but it is incremental as it builds on existing VR and IoT visualization concepts.
The authors tackled the problem of understanding home IoT networks by developing a virtual reality visualizer prototype, which can operate on both standard displays and VR headsets, demonstrating VR's potential to aid homeowners.
We present an IoT home network visualizer that utilizes virtual reality (VR). This prototype demonstrates the potential that VR has to aid in the understanding of home IoT networks. This is particularly important due the increased number of household devices now connected to the Internet. This prototype is able to function in a standard display or a VR headset. A prototype was developed to aid in the understanding of home IoT networks for homeowners.
