Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality driven Home Automation

Living in an age of rapid digitization where technology has infiltrated every field there is, and our homes are no different. Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality are in the boom, now more so than ever, highly popular among both giant corporations and aspiring young engineers, especially because of the continuous experimentations that are being done and the success it has been garnering. In this project, Raspberry Pi is the heart of the setup, to which various electronic components are connected. By giving voice-activated commands, you can remotely operate them with just the use of your smartphone, this setup also includes a Gas sensor which will effectively detect any leakage of cooking gas and promptly inform the residents of the house with a voice alert and turns on the exhaust automatically; Doors that can open or shut as and when you wish. Taking this to a whole another level is the use of Augmented Reality by Image Processing-through which we are able to simply point our smartphone at an object, which will be processed, recognized, matched to the database and correspondingly be able to perform either of the toggle operations. Our major goal was aimed at making this project accessible to everybody despite any physical shortcomings or impediments.

I. Introduction

As we enter into a new decade, the year 2020 seems like a very futuristic number and the technological advancements that come with it are just the same. The fact that the year 2040 is closer than 1990 is mind-boggling and it's safe to say that we have come a long way from the infant stages of the internet. We have seen tech behemoths like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon set up shop and not only survive but thrive in the space of science and technology, revolutionizing the game and opening up tons of possibilities and potential.
