Virtual IoT: An IoT Platform with MR Technologies Realizing Lowcost and Flexible Notification of Lifesupport Information The miniaturization and decreasing cost of networking computers, along with the advancement of cloud infrastructure has eased the implementation of IoT products for manufacturers. The increase in such products has led to the rise in IoT devices with information provision function. However, it is difficult to make products display information in consideration of the design on the surface, like daily commodities, since it requires the device to have a wealth of computational resource. In this paper, we propose Virtual IoT System, the approach which adds informationgiving functions to the noncomputing objects using Mixed Reality technology. This system enables appropriate things to give adequate information at the appropriate timing. In this paper, we explain the detail and design of Virtual IoT System. In addition, we conduct an experiment to evaluate the usability and expressive power of Virtual IoT system.

Enriching the User Experience of a Connected Car with Quantified Self This paper presents the Rxe2x80x99SENS project, the design for a system leveraging the Internet of Things to connect the dots between the user, her car and her environment through the integration of tools belonging to different domains, such as the connected car, the quantified self and web services. The aim of this study is to test a concept through a prototype to explore the possibility of enhancing the user experience of a connected car through the opportune and ubiquitous display of relevant information not only about the car status and the environment, but also the physical status of the driver. The integration of three different user interfaces (i.e., wearable, smartphone and infotainment system) to be used in different moments played a crucial role in the preliminary evaluation of the perceived usefulness and usability of this proofofconcept.
