Augmented Reality Control based Energy Management System for Residence

Introduction: The roots of virtual reality (VR) go back to the work of Ivan Sutherland in the 1960s. At the time, virtual reality showed promise in universities and labs, peaking in the early 1990s at a stable level. The latest form of IoT is merging with the Internet of Everything (IOE). Using this technology, users can access any device, device, and machine in the environment through any middleware application or system. In recent years, smart speakers have become a common commercial method for controlling household appliances, solving some of the problems of remote control. For example, speech recognition is difficult in noisy environments and is minimized using noise cancellation. It also takes a long time to determine the current state of the device as the user need to request or issue a command to the smart speaker and need to wait for a response. The evaluation of prototype system found, using a device with gestures and interacting with a virtual 3D device instead of a real device was acceptable in terms of usability. In this article, the Unity and Vuforia are used to create an AR-based IoT virtual switch that can control any device connected to a LAN controller via HTTP requests. Methods: The system is made experimental with the Augmented Reality (AR), the virtual communication system is designed instead of physical mode. It provide the real time based image for active control of Energy management. It consist of virtual switches, it supports the AR based power control system. Results: The proposed system are made evaluated and tested under various load conditions. The virtual image consist of virtual switches to make real time control of power equipment. The proposed system achieve the latency of about 0.06 sec. Conclusion: The advancement in day today activities required with AR based energy management system with proper control measures. The designed system is supportive for such mechanism. The further system is proposed to make more energy saving concept for enhancement in proposed work.
