Connected Devices Innovation Projects
We have identified a shortlist of experiments as our first group of projects in need of community participation to help us develop, test and evaluate. We’re excited to say that our first round of projects cover a wide range of potential solutions, as you can see below:
Current Projects
- Project Link: Your personal user agent that understands your preferences for how you want to interact with the world of devices in your home, and automate your connected world for you. All of this still done conveniently and securely, but completely under your control.
- Project Sensor Web: The easiest path from sensors to open data for contributors to collaboratively build a detailed understanding of their living environments. We are launching a pilot project to build a crowd-sourced pm2.5 sensor network.
- Project Haiku (formerly Project Smart Home): A middle ground between “in a box” solutions like Apple Homekit and DIY solutions like Raspberry Pi. Combining modular, affordable hardware with easy-to-use rules, Project Haiku empowers people to solve unique everyday problems in new and creative ways.
- Project Vaani: Project Vaani aims to bring a voice interface to the world of connected devices, using open and customizable technologies. We are focused on creating a Vaani-powered prototype called Vaani-Local to run user studies and we will use the results to refine the product pitch further.
- Project SmartTV is where we're building a web ecosystem for TV and the connected devices of tomorrow.
- Project Magnet is your own, personal user agent for the content that is around you.
