- Making the virtual a reality: a framework to connect physical devices to virtual worldsPublication . Campos, Nathan Paulino; Dias, João Alfredo Fazendeiro FernandesIn recent times there were many advancements in Extended Reality (XR) technologies and creative applications that take advantage of the new levels of immersion and environment blending brought on by these new technologies. Many of these applications are still tied to traditional input devices, such as a mouse, touchscreen, or game controller, and also output to very mundane output devices such as screens or projectors. With the democratization of affordable Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, there is an opportunity for integrating these devices into the next generation of creative applications, although such integrations may be costly or involve a lot of custom work to develop. This proposal aims to bridge this gap and create a software framework that can be used by developers of such applications to leverage IoT devices for the creation of digital twins or as input and output devices for their applications, opening up software development to a whole new world of possibilities. Throughout this research work, the industry standard IoT communication protocol MQTT was tested and proved its viability in providing reliable means of low-latency communication for wireless input devices, as well as the detailed proposal of a pairing scheme for IoT devices that allows them to be matched with confidence to clients automatically.
