1. A computer implemented method for monitoring computer equipment, the method comprising:
- measuring, using a number of sensors located at and associated with a number of computing devices, a number of environmental parameters related to the number of computing devices;
receiving an image from a camera of a wearable device, comprising glasses, worn by a user, the image representing an actual view of the number of computing devices as seen by the user; and
with a computer, displaying sensed environmental parameters, based on the actual view of the number of computing devices, to create a spatial relation between a display of the sensed environmental parameters and a space to which each sensed environmental parameter pertains, such that the user sees an indication of a sensed environmental parameter superimposed on the actual view of the number of computing devices viewed through the glasses, the displayed indication of the sensed environmental parameter appearing in spatial relation to a corresponding location of the sensed environmental parameter in the actual view.

Abstract
A method for monitoring environmental parameters associated with computer equipment is described. According to the method a number of environmental parameters related to a number of computing devices are measured using a number of sensors associated with, and located at, a number of computing devices. The sensed environmental parameters are displayed, with a computer, based on an actual view of the number of computing devices. The displayed sensed environmental parameters create a spatial relation with a space to which each sensed environmental parameter pertains.
