In our rush to build something 'smart' we're not seeing the bigger picture. This talk steps back and considers the shape of the IoT solutions we need. We're trying to build a Lexus out of Legos: what we do build works but feels more like simplistic toys. As a community, we must have a shared starting point of view and agree on what new 'technology Legos' we need to actually unlock the promise of IoT.
We must look at IoT more like the web, as a layered stack of independent technologies. This talks uses UX as a starting point, motivating these lower level technologies so that we build the open standards we need. I hope this talk can motivate new exciting work within Swansea on new technologies, everything from low level networking up to semantic modelling.
