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): this project aims to improve people’s lives with technology that empowers them to connect with the people they love. We're currently focused on a device that connects grandparents and their school-age grandchildren (age 6-10).
- Project Magnet is your own, personal user agent for the content that is around you.

- 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
Platform and Tools
Closed Projects
- Project Tablet: Exploring a simple, single-purpose tablet, completely dedicated to browsing the web.
- Project Link: Personal user agent for the smart home, creating a web of things that is completely yours.
