With the increasing availability of sensors within smartphones and within the  
world at large, a question arises about how this sensor data can be leveraged  
by Augmented Reality (AR) devices. AR devices have traditionally been limited  
by the capability of a given device's unique set of sensors. Connecting  
sensors from multiple devices using a Sensor Web could address this problem.  
Through leveraging this Sensor Web existing AR environments could be improved  
and new scenarios made possible, with devices that previously could not have  
being used as part of an AR environment. This paper proposes the use of  
SIXTH: a middleware designed to generate a Sensor Web, which allows a device  
to leverage heterogeneous external sensors within its environment to help  
facilitate the creation of richer AR experiences. This paper will present a  
worst case scenario, in which the device chosen will be a see-through,  
Android-based Head Mounted Display that has no access to sensors. This device  
is transformed into an AR device through the creation of a Sensor Web  
allowing it to sense its environment facilitated through the use of SIXTH.
