The Augmented Reality Air Pollution View is an immersive public engagement tool that allows people to see otherwise invisible air pollution in real time.

Using a network of street-level air quality sensors combined with AR glasses or mobile devices, users can view pollution concentrations overlaid directly onto the surrounding streetscape, revealing where air quality is cleaner or more polluted as they move through the environment.

The project transforms abstract environmental data into a powerful visual experience, making air pollution immediate, tangible, and personally relevant. By applying disclosure, salience, and experiential learning principles, the system helps people understand how traffic, road design, vegetation, and urban infrastructure influence local air quality.

Designed to support clean air initiatives, green street projects, and transportation policy discussions, the Augmented Reality Air Pollution View creates a compelling way for communities, decision-makers, and stakeholders to experience environmental conditions firsthand.
