Localizing IoT devices using wireless signals, and point clouds from mixed reality devices.

What is it about?

We have developed our own algorithm and methodology, to use the found wifi signal strengths from iot devices across multiple locations, and also use the spatial understanding we have of the room to firstly locate and identify where the internet connected devices are, and also give the user an interface to interact with the devices.

Why is it important?

Joining in line with the growing relevance of mixed reality devices, we realise there is an opportunity for making more advanced smart-home environments, allowing users to interact with smart devices (like smart lights, smart speakers, etc.) using the new mixed reality devices (like Apple's Apple Vision Pro, Meta Raybans). Further as we go into an era dominated by internet connected devices, it becomes more difficult for users to keep track of all the devices they own, and the different names and locations of these devices across multiple rooms. Using a setup like this, people can now easily identify, maintain and use all of their devices easily and efficiently, without having to worry about keeping track of too many details. Simply put on the MR glasses and our prototype handles the rest.
