Abstract:
Recent advances in the virtualization of the world we live in have enabled an increasing number of new functionalities that are generating increasing interest from governments, private organizations, and the general public. One of these functionalities is the real-time display of Internet of Things (IoT) data in different types of environments and at varying scales. From maps encompassing wide regions, to buildings, and objects, such as industrial machinery. Air quality monitoring is one of the most popular uses of IoT in Smart Cities due to the severe health effects that air pollution may cause in people. As such, there is a growing concern in creating new tools to enhance the accessibility of the data and increase the awareness regarding air quality. This paper addresses this specific matter, presenting a Virtual Reality-enabled Digital Twin for air quality monitoring platforms. The use case reported in this work applies to the city of Cartagena (Spain), where several of our air quality monitoring devices for polluting gases and suspended particulate matter are deployed. The digital twin was developed using Unity and Citigen for environment development coupled with the data stored in the servers localized at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) from our LoRaWAN air quality monitoring IoT network.
