AR / VR / XR 2024 Completed

IoT Digital Twins in XR

Hybrid online AR/VR/XR experiences and interfaces for IoT Digital Twins, developed at WiSELab @ Carnegie Mellon ECE.

UnityARVRIoTDigital TwinROSWebXRC#Research

Overview

Research project at WiSELab (Carnegie Mellon Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering) focused on building AR/VR/XR interfaces that let users visualize, monitor, and interact with physical IoT systems through their digital twin counterparts — bridging the physical and virtual in real time.

My Role

As ECE Research Engineer, I designed and built the XR front-end interfaces: real-time 3D visualizations of sensor data, AR overlays for physical hardware inspection, and VR environments for remote monitoring.

Key Features

  • Live sensor data streamed from IoT hardware into Unity 3D scenes
  • AR overlays rendering live device state onto physical equipment
  • VR dashboards for remote monitoring of distributed robot/sensor networks
  • ROS integration for bidirectional command and telemetry
