Navigating Urban Environments (NUE), is an Augmented Reality (AR) mobile app that displays on-site high spatiotemporal air quality data. NUE is a user-centered app that enables a direct engagement with the surrounding environment. Its information visualization corresponds to real-time data acquired from urban Geographic lnformation Systems (GIS), weather station networks and MUST sensing networks. In the NUE app, two AR environmental visualization modes are enabled, the first-person view, and the map view. In the first-person view, locational services of the user’s mobile device are accessed, and by referencing the mobile GIS platform, geotagged environmental data is overlaid on the camera view as graphic filters. The app also enables a map view of the environmental data through accessing geolocation and uses Google Map API services over which environmental gradients are overlaid.
