Connected Devices/Projects/SensorWeb: Difference between revisions

WebEverywhere is a new approach using the Web of Things to solve real-time problems. Its model is fairly simple- use sensors to grab real-time content from environment, publish the content on the web, and deliver relevant sensor content to consumers at the right time.  

WebEverywhere does not try to find one killer use case that suits everyone. It is a blueprint to enable many hyper local use cases. Today, we all use the web to access information we need when we need it. WebEverywhere envisions the same future for real-time sensor content. Each person can find a problem they want to solve with sensors and easily publish the sensor content on the web. When a user searches for information online, they are automatically presented with real-time sensor content should it fits what they are looking for.  

There is a growing number of connected devices (broadly defined as THINGS by the industry).  Equipped with the right technology -- such as sensors to read the environment and the connectivity to send out the reads – these things can be made ready to serve as our environment scouts. There is currently a lack of an open, ubiquitous, and secure platform for THINGS that collect the content (data) to reach its audience. The Web is the solution for this. WebEverywhere is an initiative to serve as an example of using the web as a platform in order to grow the content ecosystem, and to bring the right content to its audience.

WebEverywhere aims to provide a solution to fulfill the needs of multiple audiences.
