An Educational Approach for Mixed Reality Visualization of Agro-meteorological Parameters.

This paper proposes an innovative system to visualize real-time agro-meteorological parameters on real trees in a mixed reality (MR) environment. It uses Vufori ^a area targets identified and tracked using the Microsoft Hololens 2 MR headset and geographic coordinates to track and place virtual content on the trees precisely. The proposed system provides an immersive and interactive way to visualize weather station data in a natural environment, using real trees as markers to display real-time data. This system allows users to quickly identify changes in weather conditions, making informed decisions in real-time. We evaluated the system by developing a proof-of-concept MR application that showcases the potential of using trees as Vuforia Area Targets (VATs) with geographic coordinates for displaying weather station parameters. The application allows users to explore an urban park and learn about real trees and their environmental conditions interactively and engagingly. The proposed system is a serious game supporting living labs and educational purposes on real trees in a mixed reality (MR) environment.
