Internet of Things

Interfacing with machines undergoes a constant evolution, allowing for wider adoption of computing devices over time, as interaction becomes more "natural". According to IDTechEx Research, smartglasses are bringing about the next big step in this ever-changing space.

This video provides an overview of the opportunities for sensors in wearable technologies.

Wireless networking is rapidly pervading society, not least in China, where allied topic RFID is lifting off very rapidly.

In this short presentation, IDTechEx Research explains the evolution of the technology and shows some of the latest examples of printed sensors.

Many people tell us that the Internet of Things (IoT) is much more than the narrow definition of systems based on IP addressed microcontrollers with sensors.

IDTechEx report from the Protein event.

In the research carried out for the new IDTechEx report, "The Internet of Things: Business Opportunities 2015-2025", we define IoT as based on IP addressed sensor nodes.

Intel have released the long-awaited Edison - a powerful microcontroller the size of an SD card.

RFID was invented seven decades ago, however, 23% of all the RFID tags ever sold were sold in 2013. In 2014, a further 1.12 billion RFID tags will be sold versus the total number of tags sold in 2013.

The Internet of Things is of great excitement to many of the world's largest consumer electronics companies because they seek the "next big thing", with existing markets in smart phones, tablets and computing saturating.
