IoT: R&D As an IoT researcher and developer, I seek to: 1. Engineer new interactive products / things – Smart Device & Smart Environment(-Device)s 2. Acquire, fuse and process the data collected from things 3. Interact with & interconnect these things as part of larger, more diverse, systems – Smart Interaction I am director of new MSc in IoT starts September 2016; teach mobile services and IoT Smart Devices Smart Interaction Data Science Smart Environments
Some Example IoTs: (Mobile) Devices to Sense Motion 1 WAN-LAN Transceivers GPS, WiFI, GSM WPAN (BLE) <-> NFC Transceivers Vehicle Transceivers, pollution, etc Proximity Sensors e.g,. Traffic Lights Inertial Sensors
Some Example IoTs: Wearables Sound activated wearable light display Shoes / foot force Haptic Feedback eHealth Body Monitoring Exercise Monitor + 3D Printed Watch
