Abstract
To enhance gardening in the future, we have developed an advanced gardening support system called the Smart Garden (SG). To support decisions about what to plant where, SG uses sensors to collect data in the real world that it then plots in a virtual world. Various models then forecast outcomes. Users carry out actions based on these forecasts and evaluate the results. SG uses augmented reality (AR) technology to allow users to view virtual objects superimposed on the real world. This use of computer graphics allows growers to understand the outcomes of their decisions intuitively, while SG records their actions. This paper explains the applications of AR technology in SG.
