A presentation on the Internet of Things by Gonzalo Garcia-Perate (Operates Hintsights & Artificial Tourism) for the #IoTlondon meetup event on January 2012.
A few clips:
"I think feedback is the “missing ingredient” or the “killer app” for the internet of things, and that is what I want to talk to you about today."
"IoT provides connectivity between objects, between people and objects, and people to other people through the use of objects – which I think is its most interesting proposition.
For instance IoT changes how we exercise through a running shoe. This technology enables us to get feedback on how we are doing, and the effect running has on us.
It can also connect us with other people that use the same running shoe. We can then get feedback from the network on how we are doing in comparison to others, our distance, time, bps etc… The same idea is currently being applied to other products like Wi-fi weighting scales, exercise monitors…
Is worth mentioning that I am not only referring to objects as immediately tangible or graspable products. After all a room is an object within a building, a building is an object within a street and that within a neighborhood, city… Equally a train is an object within a transport network. Learning how these “objects” are used brings huge potential for new services in the built environment powered by IoT and feedback."
