WiSee is a novel interaction interface that leverages ongoing wireless transmissions in the environment (e.g., WiFi) to enable whole-home sensing and recognition of human gestures. Since wireless signals do not require line-of-sight and can traverse through walls, WiSee can enable whole-home gesture recognition using few wireless sources (e.g., a Wi-Fi router and a few mobile devices in the living room).

large scale analytics to objects talking to each other

QT:”
THE SECOND STAGE—the yoking together of two or more smart objects—is the trickiest, because it represents the vertiginous shift from analysis, the mere harvesting of helpful data, to real automation. This is a leap that tries our nerves: No matter how thoroughly we might use data to fine-tune our lives and businesses, it’s scary to take any of those decisions out of human hands. But it’s also a challenge to our imagination. In a non-programmable world, when few objects are connected, it can be tough to grasp how even pairs of things might naturally fit together. Alex Hawkinson of Smart­Things likes to draw an analogy to Facebook, which has famously described the underlying data it owns as the social graph—the knowledge of who is connected to whom and how. Hawkinson wants us to think of a “physical graph” where all the objects in our lives take on similar underlying connections, based on how we might want the state of one object to depend on the state or behavior of another.
