Augmented-Reality Computer-Vision Assisted Disaggregated Energy Monitoring and IoT Control Platform

摘要

The aim of this research is to develop an innovative low cost and affordable platform for smart home control and energy monitoring interfaced with augmented reality. This method will educate people about energy use at a time when fuel costs are rising and create novel methods of interaction for those with disabilities. In order to increase the awareness of energy consumption, we have developed an interactive system using Augmented Reality to show live energy usage of electrical components. This system allows the user to view his real time energy consumption and at the same time offers the possibility to interact with the device in Augmented Reality. The energy usage was captured and stored in a database which can be accessed for energy monitoring. We believe that the combinations of both, complex smart home applications and transparent interactive user interface will increase the awareness of energy consumption.
