Engadget has an interesting piece today about an new UI paradigm MIT has been developing by combining Augmented Reality (AR) with the Internet of Things(IOT). Check out their video to get a feel for what you could do. Eyes-on: MIT Media Lab’s Smarter Objects can map a user interface onto… anything (video).
What are all the things around your house that you have struggled to set up or program in the past? What would you like to control via an AR overlay on your phone or tablet?
