abstract = {Augmented Reality (AR) is acclaimed for its potential to bridge the physical and virtual worlds. Yet, current integration between these realms often lacks a deep under-standing of the physical environment and the subsequent scene generation that reflects this understanding. This research introduces Sensor2Scene, a novel system framework designed to enhance user interactions with sensor data through AR. At its core, an AI agent leverages large language models (LLMs) to decode subtle information from sensor data, constructing detailed scene descriptions for visualization. To enable these scenes to be rendered in AR, we decompose the scene creation process into tasks of text-to-3D model generation and spatial composition, allowing new AR scenes to be sketched from the descriptions. We evaluated our framework using an LLM evaluator based on five metrics on various datasets to examine the correlation between sensor readings and corresponding visualizations, and demonstrated the system's effectiveness with scenes generated from end-to-end. The results highlight the potential of LLMs to understand IoT sensor data. Furthermore, generative models can aid in transforming these interpretations into visual formats, thereby enhancing user interaction.
