A few days ago I have presented a paper I have co-authored with colleagues from Cogent at Coventry University in the 12th International Conference on Information Visualisation 2008 (IV08). Environmental monitoring brings many challenges to wireless sensor networks: including the need to collect and process large volumes of data before presenting the information to the user in an easy to understand format.
The paper presented SensAR, a prototype augmented reality interface specifically designed for monitoring environmental information. The input of our prototype is sound and temperature data which are located inside a networked environment. Participants can visualise 3D as well as textual representations of environmental information in real-time using a lightweight handheld computer.
