IoT Based Modular Grow Box System Using the AR

Abstract

nowadays, living space, food and water for the rapidly growing urban population are not used quite sparingly, which makes them extremely vulnerable resources. Therefore, the trend has emerged where people in urban areas choose to have a small garden (for example, a balcony garden), and want to grow healthy and environmentally friendly food. To achieve this, a compact plant growing system "Grow Box" is needed, which gives an optimal use of space and can provide an automated plant growing process. The authors proposed the concept of IoT based smart system using the augmented reality for growing plants in the city. System implementation has a modular structure and can act as an experimental site or a full-fledged tool with some changes for greenhouses.
