What is it about?

In this paper, we present SOCRAR, a system that can read data from a user’s physical environment, then contextualizes it on a semantic backend (e.g., detecting that "42°C" is a temperature value) and finally display this information in Augmented Reality in a way the user can understand it (e.g. by converting degrees Celsius to degreess Fahrenheit).

Why is it important?

The SOCRAR system enables humans to interact more efficiently with (virtual and physical) sensors and actuators in their surroundings. It does so by making it easier to combine non-digital information (e.g., checklists for the configuration of IoT devices) with digital services and devices. With our system, this information is displayed through Augmented Reality glasses to allow the user hands-free interaction with the devices which are linked to the recognized and contextualized non-digital information.
