Along with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of wireless devices and mobile nodes significantly increases and they are connected among them over wireless links. Many application software and network system software for these wireless devices/mobile nodes are being developing. However, we cannot confirm a wireless connection between the two adjacent devices, the network topology which consists of these devices, and the node status of a wireless device which is not equipped with the display for a software developer while the software is running. In this paper, we propose the design of a visualizing software to visualize the network topology and the node status by utilizing the Augmented Reality (AR) technology, and then present the demonstration of the prototype development.
