Edge computing nodes distributed throughout the city enable multi-user cognitive assistance applications that require (1) real-time sensor data from the environment, such as approaching cars, and (2) computing resources for low-latency video processing. We discuss three such applications to elicit requirements for a platform to support them, and present our system design.}, keywords = {Computer systems organization; Distributed architectures; Human-centered computing; Human computer interaction (HCI); Interaction paradigms; Mixed / augmented reality}, }
