Abstract
Regardless of the rapid developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) world, its integration into our daily lives has been trailing slowly. We believe that the issue stems from vendor-specific products, restricting customers to their proprietary software and limiting interoperability across vendors. In our earlier research, we proposed a Mixed Reality Control Panel (MRCP) framework to tackle this gap. By offering a vendor-neutral, open-source, cross-platform, mixed reality (MR) software allowing users to seamlessly interact with headless IoT devices. The MRCP application, Smart Parking Meter, and Smart Lock were developed within this framework, as proofs of concepts. In this work, the proposed system’s efficiency to perform each action is compared against existing solutions, as well as the benefits of additional smart features. Showcasing how an MR interface allows for quick interaction with IoT devices. Early development decisions on being cross-platform and vendor-neutral allow for future scalability. Development took place in the networking aspect by implementing a smart parking solution for the parking meter. As well as strengthening its security by performing an attack against the system and developing a countermeasure to patch it. Concluding that both devices under the MRCP system are viable solutions for future smart city integration.
