1. At the intersection of physical objects
and web services
INTERNET
OF THINGS

2. The development of the internet
we know today has risen from
the great services that were able
to streamline user needs or
create new needs...
Services like Facebook and
Google
BACKGROUND

3. • Mashups:
web services and sources of data
to create something new.
• Combining location data with
vendor data in Google maps
MOVEMENTS LEADING TO
INTERNET OF THINGS

4. • Remote control for devices:
Expensive and one way
communication to connected
devices.
• Heating up the sauna with a SMS
MOVEMENTS LEADING TO
INTERNET OF THINGS

5. • Early “web-connected” devices:
• Nabaztag WiFi Rabbit
MOVEMENTS LEADING TO
INTERNET OF THINGS

6. • Like a modern cuckoo clock,
Nabaztag will speak out the time
every hour
• Nabaztag will give you his or her
weekly recap -- a breakdown of
the time you spent together, and
whether it was noteworthy

7. Usually THIS is what we think when
we are asked about internet of
things:

8. INTERNET ON
MY FRIDGE!

9. It’s much more
than sticking a
monitor on your
kitchenware.

10. “The Internet of Things is a term
that describes where the Internet
is connected to the physical
world via multitude of sensors”

SO WHAT IS IT?

11. • Now almost everything can be
connected to the internet
• Sensors and computers are so
small that they can disappear
• Enabled two way communications
IN 2013:

12. Everything is
super small

13. Computers: Arduino
Raspberry Pi

14. • Temperature, light,
humidity, IR
sensors
• Liquid flow meters
• Near field sensors
and chips
• Micro cameras
The list goes on and on…
Sensors:

15. SKÅL

16. Combine them with
web services
and the possibilities
are VAST

17. • Wearable tech
• Tweeting plants
• Context aware web services
• Web controlled mechanics
• Social data gathering
& broadcast
• Health monitors
• Learning thermostats
Some examples:

18. Using existing web
services to connect
with the physical
world

19. IFTTT (If This Then That) is a social service
tool, allowing you to make simple
connections between your digital lives via
API hook-ups.

20. Users can create recipes for home
automation devices.

21. This all may seem like testing
ideas and hacking, but
eventually Internet of things
will be “melted” into the
surroundings and become
invisible to the users.

22. Ubiquitous computing
(Ubicomp)
An advanced computing concept where
computing is made to appear
everywhere and anywhere, using any
device, in any location, and in any
format.

23. Modern user interfaces take us
there
Tangible user interface
• Touch, sense, manipulation
Surface user interface
• Touch, tap
Ambient user interfaces
• Gestures, speech, location, movement

25. “We believe that technology is
at it's best and empowering
when it simply disappears.
