Site teaches IoT in a playful way
A global enabler of the IoT, Telit, has announced that the company is sponsoring the IOTORAMA Web Project, commissioned by Mobile World Capital Barcelona and demonstrated at the 2015 Mobile World Congress. The site, which has been created by the Alpha-ville Studio, allows people to learn about the IoT in a playful way.
The site has been designed to engage visitors in a game-like interface that allows them to explore various aspects of the IoT environment.
When entering the website, visitors are invited to discover different areas of life by exploring a network of geometric shapes that wander around the display. Animated circles depict familiar areas such as home, body & mind, culture and DIY. They can be linked to data sources (red squares) and purposes (blue triangles).
This click & connect process is playful, but the result is educational. In this case it shows how connected locks allow users to control their home security via mobile phone applications or web interfaces that connect to the installed lock.
“The decision to sponsor this project was based on a number of factors. It’s an elegant innovative way of demonstrating the possibilities and implications of connected technologies. And it shows how the IoT can be used to enhance everyday tasks that are taken for granted,” said Alexander Bufalino, CMO, Telit.
