Augmented reality for the Internet of Things

A computer-implemented augmented reality (AR) platform comprising:

• a computer system including a set of one or more AR programs, the set containing a first AR object associated with a first priority value and a second AR object associated with a second priority value, wherein the first AR object is configured to communicate with a first physical device via a computer network, and the second AR object is configured to communicate with a second physical device via the computer network;
• and
• a computing device of the computer system in the computer network, wherein the computing device is physically separate from a sensor, the sensor is configured to sense an event within a physical space, and the computing device is configured to monitor output of the sensor;
• and
• wherein in response to sensing a first event by the sensor, the computing device is configured to automatically:
• select one of the first and second AR objects based on the first and second priority values, and
• trigger the selected AR object to run an executable instruction contained in the selected AR object, wherein the executable instruction is configured to, in response to being run, output a first command to the physical device corresponding to the selected AR object.
