Virtual reality (VR) is currently being used in many different areas such as car prototyping, gaming, medical training, teaching, and so on. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as systems-on-achip (e.g. Raspberry Pi), smart appliances, and sensors support a wide range of services, including machine automation, and remote monitoring and control. This paper introduces a novel social VR-IoT environment, which allows users to share and control local or remote IoT devices in a virtual platform. Two approaches using the VR-IoT solution are presented: one local network-based and one cloud-based. The proposed VR-IoT environment contains VRITESS, the novel VR-IoT Environment Synchronization Scheme, which facilitates a consistent and integrated experience for users by enabling control of real IoT objects with VR headsets. The control of some IoT objects in extreme environments or devices which are complex to operate can be simplified in a virtual environment. The VRITESS synchronization scheme maintains the real objects updated following instructions given in the virtual world and vice-versa. Testing involved local network-based and cloud-based testbeds created with a VR headset and IoT devices with the Performance Engineering Laboratory, Dublin City University's, Ireland. Test results demonstrated that lower latency is experienced in the local-network testbed in comparison with the cloud testbed. Furthermore, tests regarding the communications protocols implemented in the cloud testbed indicated that MQTT generates less delay and data traffic than REST.

“…However, control is still limited by range. A voice control system was developed for a ZigBee based home automation system (Jinsoo & Park, 2010;Barak, et al, 2013) while a wireless smart home security system based on ZigBee and GPRS technology wacame later (Motshed, et al, 2015). It consisted of a host control system and other sub functional modules.…”

Automation is a technique of controlling a process by electronic devices with reducing human involvement to a minimum. The fundamental of building an automation system for an office or home is increasing day-by-day with numerous benefits. Industrialist and researchers are working to build efficient and affordability automatic systems to monitor and control different machines like lights, fans, air conditioners based on the requirements (Pan, et al., 2015). The automation method makes effective use of electrical energy that eventually results in saving costs while reducing energy waste. This project is based on the concept of internet of things (IoT) that allow objects including people and other devices interconnected over the internet anytime and anywhere using any network and service to exchange data and information. Automation is another important application of IoT technologies. IoT can be applied in setting up smart homes and offices (Pan, et al., 2015). It can be used for the monitoring of energy consumption and controlling the environment in buildings, schools, offices and museums by using different types of sensors and actuators that control lights, temperature, and humidity (Minoli, et al., 2017).In nest apartments, they have been using WIFI home automation system to save energy and controlling electrical appliances. The tenants access a web-based platform which allows them to control the electrical appliances in their rooms. But this system can be hacked into. However, in Nigeria, United kingdoms, India and china they use GSM home automation system to save energy and control electrical appliances. The system is much safer and secure than WIFI system because it cannot be hacked into. Currently, Muni University controls electrical appliances using three different modes: Manual system which is used in buildings, the timer automation system which is used for garden lights.it turns on and off after every twelve hours, the light sensor system which is used on security lights. With low levels of light intensity, it turns on the security lights. The current does not support remote control of the electrical appliances via the phone. The proposed Arduino Smart Energy Saving Systems offers flexibility and remote sensing capabilities.

“…Still, the purpose of the system keeps on being a controlling interface for actual devices and loads. Han et al [100] proposed a 3D virtual world interface for managing appliances. A 3D model, based on the user's actual house, is rendered for a complete visualization of connected appliances in the system.…”

Current lifestyles and technologies have inspired new ways to manage home appliances free of restrictions previously imposed by distance and time. So-called home automation technologies allow users to control and schedule common home tasks, often without human intervention. Several types of home automation systems have been proposed and classified according to their functionality, mode of user interaction, scheduling systems and cost-effectiveness. This paper reviews proposals in the smart home field from the last five years, considering both technical and functional aspects. The paper seeks to define automated or smart home systems by identifying common aspects of current such systems.
