Demo: Immersive Remote Monitoring and Control for Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) interconnects a vast number of physical devices with each other and enables remote monitoring and control of the physical system. This, together with the recent progress of virtual reality (VR) technology, provides an immersive experience for the user to perform remote monitoring and control as if she observes and controls the physical system in person. In this demo, we develop an immersive remote monitoring and control system consisting of 3D virtual monitoring and control panel and the physical water pump system. Users can remotely control and monitor the water level of the physical water pump system through the 3D virtual panel in real-time. We use Fourier transform to filter out the noise when the water level remains static and the exponential running average method to make the collected data more smooth when the water level dynamically changes. The experimental evaluations demonstrate that the difference between the physical and virtual water levels is small in both static and dynamic water levels.
