Calibri;">Not so long ago, the perception of </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">virtual and augmented reality </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">technologies was confined to science fiction. Movies like </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Avatar</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">,</span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> The Matrix,</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Total Recall </span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">painted a picture of what could be possible.</span> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today’s virtual reality (VR) and </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">augmented reality</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> (AR) technology is not quite as immersive as these examples, but it is advancing rapidly. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today, </span><a href="https://venturebeat.com/2022/07/16/improving-the-customer-experience-with-virtual-and-augmented-reality/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">many businesses are recognizing the benefits</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> of using augmented and virtual realities to improve their operations. </span><a href="https://venturebeat.com/2021/12/28/future-augmented-reality-will-inherit-the-earth/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">AR and VR</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> are now being used for everything from prototyping and design to marketing, customer service, training, and productivity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While experts are split about the evolution of a truly immersive “metaverse,” they do expect that </span><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/06/30/the-metaverse-in-2040/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">augmented and mixed-reality enhancements will become more useful in people’s daily lives</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. This is especially true when it comes to smart cities that commonly use </span><a href="https://innovationatwork.ieee.org/discussing-iot-adoption-benefits-and-distribution/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Internet of Things (IoT) technologies</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. However, according to Jamie Cameron, director of digital solutions at building security company Johnson Controls, “connectivity and technology are not the end goal for smart cities—they are the means to improving the quality of life for city residents.” And with virtual and augmented reality technologies, smart cities could be much smarter.</span></p> <h4><b>Making Smart Cities More </b><b>Sustainable</b></h4> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With the UN projecting 68% of the world population to live in urban areas by 2050, the combined carbon footprint of the world’s different cities is only set to grow. </span><a href="https://www.verdict.co.uk/how-smart-technology-can-make-cities-more-sustainable/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Connected communities have an advantage</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> because they can use IoT technology to understand the problem and then help solve it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Smart cities can collect a wealth of data by installing different sensors around the community. These sensors can range from measuring air quality, as used by the </span><a href="https://www.londonair.org.uk/LondonAir/General/about.aspx"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">London Air Quality Network</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">; or detecting leaking water pipes, as </span><a href="https://newscentre.vodafone.co.uk/features/how-iot-tech-could-save-the-uk-three-billion-litres-of-water-a-day/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Vodafone</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> has recently partnered with SES Water to do. After collecting the data, the smart cities can decide what to do with all that information. A model of a city known as a </span><a href="https://www.verdict.co.uk/meet-the-tech-ceo-who-survived-a-flood-and-built-a-digital-twin-of-earth/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">digital twin</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> can be used to simulate how different policies may affect a city. It can also provide insight into progress being made towards sustainability targets.</span></p> <h4><b>Creating Safer Smart Cities</b></h4> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The infrastructure and systems needed to successfully collect, analyze, and transmit information across a city are </span><a href="https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/smart-mobility/124429/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">complex and comprehensive</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.</span> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Smart cities may represent a better way to plan and manage urban living, but they also serve as attractive new targets for cyber criminals. </span><a href="https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/the-cities-of-the-future-are-smart-but-we-must-also-make-them-secure/138628/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Digital enhancement</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> enhances digital risk. To keep a smart city running smoothly, governments need tech-enabled support desks to help resolve problems. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Smart cities are built from data, but what information is collected, who has access to it, and how it may be used are all highly contentious areas impacting public trust.</span></p> <h4><b>Enhancing the Quality of Life in Smart Cities</b></h4> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To improve the quality of life in urban spaces, city councils, urban planners, and developers are exploring cutting-edge digital solutions that can potentially power smart cities. </span><a href="https://arpost.co/2021/09/14/smart-cities-use-augmented-reality-technology/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Augmented reality technology is a promising solution.</span></a> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">AR works by overlaying digital information in real-world environments: all you need is a smartphone and AR can provide constant feedback within smart cities, allowing everyone to make informed decisions in their day-to-day life. AR can make urban spaces more people centered and improve urban mobility, public safety, public health, and tourism.</span></p> <h4><b>Keep up with AR/VR Technology</b></h4> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Information and communication technologies have made smart cities a reality. However, augmented reality and virtual reality </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">technologies </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">have shifted the smart city paradigm. </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Practical Applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Business and Society: The Case of Smart Cities</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> will help keep you current with </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">AR/VR technology.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Interested in the course? </span><a href="https://iln.ieee.org/Public/ContentDetails.aspx?id=26D2E48C3BE342CD91278F14E4ACA388&utm_source=IAW&utm_medium=20220809article&utm_campaign=arvr"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Visit the IEEE Learning Network.</span></a></p> <h4><b>Resources:</b></h4> <p><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anderson, Janna and Raine, Lee.
