Environment Providing Necessary Information to Users Using Multiple IoT Avatars
Abstract
Recently, smartphones have enabled people to access necessary information anytime, anywhere. However, it is difficult to obtain information in situations where smartphones or GPS cannot be used. We have developed IoT avatar technology as a method to obtain information from the surrounding environment where users exist. IoT avatar is a technology that provides information to users through the conversations with objects to which IoT devices are attached. Users in the field can communicate with remote users or generative AI through the objects. In particular, in this study, a multiple IoT avatar environment was constructed in which several IoT devices work together to provide continuous information to users such as walking guidance even when users move in the field. In the experiment, subjects were guided to the destination room by switching connections to multiple IoT avatar devices. The experimental results showed that multiple IoT avatars could provide continuous guidance to subjects in the field. We also confirmed that though subjects' consciousness of communicating with each object was decreased, they perceived the same personalities of the IoT avatars and were able to obtain continuous information.
