Augmenting the Internet of Everything
Lately, there has been a lot of talk in the news about the Internet of Everything (IoE). Just recently we announced the arrival of noHold Connect, the technology used to empower humans to experience the IoE from a single user interface. Diego Ventura, the CEO and founder of noHold, made a short video showing a raw, exclusive preview of the Virtual Butler for wearable devices.
According to a recent article published by Computerworld, “Analysts expect not only an explosion of wearable devices
in the next three years, but an explosion of mobile apps of all kinds. Research
firm Gartner last year predicted that wearable devices will drive half of all
app interactions by 2017, a startling prediction, but one that Gartner believes
was reinforced by the flurry of wearable devices shown at International CES.”
One analyst mentioned that “virtually all vendors are choosing mobile apps to
interact with the way we will use a wearable device.” (Computerworld.com)
We are not stopping at wearable devices, though. Soon, multiple vendors from a variety of industries will connect to the Virtual Butler, encompassing all aspects of the IoE. These include companies in the telecommunications space, automobile industry, smart appliance manufacturers (i.e. coffee machines, refrigerators,etc.), and much, much more.
As you can see from the preview above, the goal of the Virtual Butler is to simplify our lives. There are so many apps on our smartphones that control devices/services that are connected to the Internet. For example, mobile banking apps, apps that control your DVR, home security apps, etc. Having an individual app for each of these connected items can become a bit chaotic, but imagine a life with a Virtual Butler that can help you manage and get the most out of your devices, all through a single user interface (UI). It creates an enhanced interactive experience that users are demanding.
The best is yet to come for the Virtual Butler! For more information on the IoE and the Virtual Butler check out this slideshare presentation, Connecting the Internet of Everything to the Human Element.
