The Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud contains vast spatiotemporal information that can be exploited by the locationbased mobile applications and presented using Augmented Reality (AR). While AR shows to be well suited for searching and browsing location-based information, most approaches focus on domain specific scenarios and there is no generic data model for the information search and discovery that could be re-used in various applications. The geo-referenced data, however, is already available on the LOD cloud and can be exploited to provide location-based information to the user. With this approach, in this paper, we present a generic architecture for the surroundings discovery mobile applications. The 3D models that we publish on the LOD cloud represent the real world objects that belong to different temporal intervals. These geometric models allow the user to mentally construct the referential relationship between virtual and real-world objects and the mobile applciation developer to create experiences based on different concepts on the cloud. This way, the LOD cloud, which is a growing structured source of semantic data, becomes the main source of information for the architecture, and facilitates the knowledge discovery. We also extend our mobile location-based application, ARCAMA-3D (Augmented Reality for Context Aware Mobile Applications with 3D) that we have developed previously, by using this architecture.

“…This approach could allow users to easily and intuitively monitor information flows between nodes inside their home networks and with remote services and thereby get more in control of their network installations. Similar ideas are applied for visualizing urban infrastructures, for instance in the Vidente project [Schall et al 2013] where underground tubing is visualized using an augmented reality application on a smartphone. Our approach should enable users to better understand device associations in their smart home and to perceive unwanted interactions, where we aim to go beyond currently available network monitoring approaches also with respect to the inspection depth that our system allows: it is, using our methods, possible for users not only to see HTTP packets that are transmitted between devices, but also to inspect their contents in near real time.…”

Keeping track of device interactions in smart environments is a challenging task for everyday users. Given the expected high number of communicating devices in future smart homes, it will become increasingly important to put users more in control of their smart environments by providing tools to monitor and control the interactions between smart objects and remote services. We present a system for collecting and visualizing interactions of Web-enabled smart things and Web services in an intuitive and visually appealing way. Our tool displays device interactions both using a Web-based visualization application and in the form of a "magic lens" by augmenting the camera view of a tablet with relevant connections between recognized devices in the camera's field of view.
