Figure 12 Current visualization system running in the Tinmith emulator showing first person (left) and birds eye (right) views

Tinmith input menu operations are passed to the library, where it tracks its own menu state. Upon loading, the library dynamically loads sensor instances from a dataset, allowing the user to navigate the dataset via the use of system’s inputs. The use of hardware inputs, via the use of Phidgets2, has been implemented, providing a dedicated set of inputs for controlling data navigation.

Semi-opaque structures have been implemented, allowing for ‘x-ray vision’ to see the position of other walls and sensors through walls (Figure 12).

Currently, the system supports the visualization of two structures, displaying sensors on two corners of each building (Figure 12). Idly, these sensors are the Box representation, however when the user focuses on them, they rotate/shrink to display a Gauge representation to provide more detailed and exact values. Users can select ‘groups’ of walls from the structures that share a common property, in this case the direction (north, south, etc.) they are facing.

A formal evaluation of the first iteration of development is pending ethics approval.

Summary


This research project is motivated to develop techniques to assist in the visualization of outdoor environmental corrosion in mobile augmented reality. The integration of sensor networks with situated visualization in mobile augmented reality will result in benefits for on-site inspections of large structures. The use of in-situ visualization of environmental data provides an intuitive method of understanding information that was previously difficult to interpret and hard to extract meaningful inferences.
