Smart Locking System Using AR and IoT

Abstract

Modern smart door locks are more prone to damage and attacks, which will reduce robustness. Most smart door locks rely on passcode entry or face recognition outside the door which makes it easy to track and more vulnerable to attacks. Extended (XR) is an emerging term used to denote the amalgamation of multiple immersive technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). Recent research revealed that more than 60% of respondents believed XR will be mainstream in the next five years. Considering the features provided by the XR in terms of visualization and human interaction, XR has a wide range of applications. In this article, we propose the integration of XR with IoT devices to create a Smart door locking system that will be operated using smart glasses or mobile devices. The proposed system aims to implement a smart door-locking system to overcome physical attacks, as no part of the lock is physically intractable. MR is used to take the secret code as input from the user through Smart glasses or mobile devices, which is verified by the mobile application and the corresponding control signal to unlock the door is sent to the NodeMCU if the password is correct. The contactless feature of the lock makes it suitable in hospitals to prevent the spread of diseases and prevent users from touching radioactive components in radioactive areas.
