Abstract:
The programming overhead related to the implementation of intelligent environments is a major obstacle keeping non-technical technology enthusiasts from harnessing the advantages of bringing such technologies into their lives. Commercially available alternatives lack the customization angle that makes these technologies desirable in the first place. In this study, we propose a Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) Mobile Augmented Reality for Internet of Things (MARIoT) framework that alleviates the requirement of programming expertise otherwise necessary in both the Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) fields. With the MARIoT framework, users can create customized AR interfaces to be used for interacting with devices and sensors in a smart home environment. The usability of this framework with participants of different educational and programming backgrounds was tested. Experimental results show that the proposed framework facilitates the intuitive integration of the two technologies.
