The convergence of Augmented Reality (AR) and Internet of Things(IOT) technologies is a revolutionary paradigm shift in user interaction with digital information in the physical world. The convergence, referred to as AR-IoT, presents immersive and interactive engagement that bridges the digital and physical worlds, thus providing a paradigm shift in user interaction in numerous areas. This systematic review examines the human-mediated aspects of the convergence of AR and IoT, with emphasis on their use in manufacturing, medicine, smart cities, education, and retail markets. Through systematic review of existing applications, advantages, disadvantages, and future directions, we examine how integration of these technologies enhances human decision-making, operational efficiency, and overall user experience. The review consolidates evidence from recent studies (2019-2024) and presents a forward-looking perspective on the ongoing development of human-computer interactions fueled by AR-IoT convergence in the digital world.
