The role of augmented reality in smart home settings

Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing trend in technology with countless applications in different domains. However, not much attention has been devoted to the smart home setting and how its application can be used to allow users to customise their living spaces. In this paper, we describe the implementation of two methods for recognising objects with AR, and how an End-User Development (EUD) approach to a smart home can take full advantage of these techniques to provide personalisable and more meaningful experiences to users.
