Detailed Description

Currently we use internet for various purposes through computers and mobile phones. The next step for internet is digitally connecting our daily things to each other and to us. This trend is called as Internet of Things. It emerged as a creative application of RFID technology. The aim of this project is to carry out a preliminary research study for identifying potential of IoT in India. As IoT products originated in west, their development is based on underlying assumptions which may not be valid in Indian context. As a part of this project, we studied the current state of IoT field and conceptualised IoT applications specific to India. We used these concepts as an ice breaker to have conversation with users in order to understand their concerns and inclinations. Finally, it helped us in coming up directions for further research and refining designed concepts.
