Service Observation based on Geospatial IoT

Abstract

Getting both “results” such as POS (Point of Sales) data and “processes” including spatio-temporal data on human behavior and environmental stimuli and constraints in an actual service field, it makes the field virtually tangible. Such tangibility must be a key driver for understanding what happened there and why it happened more comprehensively. The virtual tangibility can be realized by technologies and methodologies that support the idea of “Lab-forming Field” and “Field-forming Lab” such as IoT (Internet of Things), WoT (Web of Things), and MR (Mixed Reality) encompassing VR (Virtual Reality), AV (Augmented Virtuality), and AR (Augmented Reality). This paper will present “Geospatial IoT (G-IoT)” related technologies and methodologies we have developed and applied to the actual cases to realize “Lab-forming Field”.
