Abstract
Air quality is an important factor in planning activities in our everyday life. The information presented though captured data using Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities is mostly single-dimensional where citizens do not have much opportunities to directly interact with the system to get personalised insights. Recent years have seen dire reports of extreme air pollution in mega cities around the world, which has led to government authorities grappling with solutions. Taking into account the existing IoT sensor setup in smart cities, it is now very convenient to visually explore the level of pollution of any places in real-time. In this context, this paper presents AqVision, a flexible visualisation tool for future citizens in smart cities that combines personalised awareness with generalised needs and leverages to envisage air pollution hotspots using more interactive manners considering individualised health and safety concerns.
