EVANS 3: Home appliance control system with appliance authentication framework using Augmented Reality technology

The popularity of home appliances continues to increase that can interconnect with other appliances through networks. For users who want to identify the network home appliances they want to operate, their operation is complex and difficult since their locations are not represented within the operating system. We propose Embodied Visualization with Augmented Reality for Networked System 3 (EVANS 3) to solve operation problems with obvious and intuitive controls by implementing augmented reality (AR) technology. We implemented our proposed LED Marker instead of the use of graphical images (image markers) as the AR markers to identify the network home appliance´s location at any distant and altering light environments. By dynamically operating LED Markers, we can achieve a comfortable and effective appliance authentication environment for suitable operating conditions.
