Back at the office s/he special technology such as wearables) and the Internet will move over to use the stationary computer as input of Things (IoT) can be observed. Devices from the device. Extending further, voice recognition can be fields are becoming part of a joint ecosystem and enabled by the IoT device residing on the office desk share the same infrastructure. Moreover, development and complete the multi-dimensional interaction. processes have changed and user requirements have Mobile technology and IoT form a multidisciplinary become very heterogeneous. We have been studying field where sensing devices with communication this development for a while, also by offering the fitting capabilities that can be applied to ordinary objects HICSS minitrack. In this article, we look into the in order to make the object “smart”. They add a past of software development for mobile devices, in the whole new dimension of content to the current Internet context of IoT, and for wearables.
