Standardized ar interfaces for iot devices

An augmented reality (AR) device that interfaces to an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the AR device comprising:

• a display;
• a user input device;
• a registration module that receives IoT device information in a standardized schema, the IoT device information representing at least one device input and available output information for the IoT device;
• an AR widget user interface that determines from the received IoT device information a predetermined AR user interface widget to render for the IoT device, the predetermined AR user interface widget for the IoT device being provided to the AR device as an overlay on the display, the predetermined AR user interface widget being adapted to convert user inputs from the user input device into the at least one device input for the IoT device in the form of at least one of the Boolean, a ranged numeric value, a two-dimensional relative value, a two-dimensional absolute value, a two-dimensional path, a three-dimensional path, a red, green, blue (RGB) color input, a time, or a text in accordance with a form of the IoT device input of the IoT device;
• and
• a communication module that provides to the IoT device the at least one device input converted from user input to the user input device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to interface an augmented reality (AR) device to an Internet of Things (IoT) device by performing operations including:

• receiving IoT device information in a standardized schema, the IoT device information representing at least one device input and available output information for the IoT device;
• determining from the received IoT device information a predetermined AR user interface widget to render for the IoT device, the predetermined AR user interface widget converting user inputs to the AR device into the at least one device input for the IoT device in the form of at least one of the Boolean, a ranged numeric value, a two-dimensional relative value, a two-dimensional absolute value, two-dimensional path, a three-dimensional path, a red, green, blue (RGB) color input, a time, or a text in accordance with a form of the IoT device input of the IoT device;
• receiving a selection of the IoT device;
• providing the predetermined AR user interface widget for the selected IoT device to the AR device as an overlay on a display of the AR device
• in response to user interaction with the predetermined AR user interface widget displayed by the AR device, receiving the at least one device input for the IoT device;
• and
• providing the at least one device input to the IoT device.
