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 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 Magnet is your own, personal user agent for the content that is around you.
- Smart Kitchen helps answer the question, "What's for dinner?" by attempting to take pictures of items in your refrigerator to identify them, and then suggesting recipe options based on available refrigerator ingredients.
- Smart Displays project is set out to explore the role of displays at home and understand what role displays might play in the future connected home and opportunities for innovation.
- Project Cue makes use of an always-on voice-enabled smart screen device to set reminders and manage and keep track of activities, events, and to-do lists of family members.
Horizontal Projects

- Metrics: Having the ability to instrument and determine how we measure success through data and metrics
- Foxfooding: How we incorporate our community and early adopters at the start of all our projects
- Research & Validation: Analyzing and validating against our users and community on what we build
