Abstract
Accompanying the advent of wireless networking and the Internet of Things (IoT), traditional augmented reality (AR) systems to visualize virtual 3D models of the real world are evolving into smart and interactive AR related to the context of things for physical objects. We propose the integration of AR and IoT in a complementary way, making AR scalable to cover objects everywhere with an acceptable level of performance and interacting with IoT in a more intuitive manner. We identify three key components for realizing such a synergistic integration: (1) distributed and object-centric data management (including for AR services); (2) IoT object-guided tracking; (3) seamless interaction and content interoperability. We survey the current state of these respective areas and herein discuss research on issues about realizing a future smart and interactive living environment.
Highlights
Augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have received significant attention as key enabling technologies for making spaces smarter and more interactive [1,2,3,4]
We believe that data management, object-guided tracking, and the interface design are key components for the development of an efficient IoT–augmented reality (AR) infrastructure [11], and we focus on these three areas

Summary
Augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have received significant attention as key enabling technologies for making spaces smarter and more interactive [1,2,3,4]. IoT refers to a network of physical devices and everyday objects embedded with minimal computing elements for sensing, collecting, communicating, and even interacting with the objects themselves Such an infrastructure will provide the basis for smart environments through a collective big data analysis and context-based services (e.g., real-time analytics and automation) [7,8,9,10]. As an example of physical objects in everyday life, Richard is using his AR remote control system to turn on small appliances in his home [13,24] (see Figure 2a) He is in a spacious living room and decides to turn on a light that had been moved away from the TV yesterday, and he can control the selected light with the superimposed GUI button by operating the attached actuator. (a) physical lightthrough control through remote touch based on the AR platform [24]; (b) control status for the operating manual using AR remote touch based on the AR platform [24]; (b) control status for the operating manual using AR visual information [1]
