“Hot coals” / / AR - augmented Reality

“Hot coals”. / / “When the technology is sufficiently mature, experts expect that most forms of entertainment will be reimagined for augmented reality. Mr. Lelyveld, of the Entertainment Technology Center, predicted a surge in sophisticated narrative A.R. experiences in 18 to 24 months, when glasses allowing users to circumnavigate fixed virtual objects in physical space are projected to be widely available. “Hands-free A.R. (which may one day rely on contact lenses or cortical implants) could unleash the potential for stories that blur the line between fiction and lived experience. They may share elements with linear film and television, or task-oriented video games. “You could be watching a sitcom like ‘Friends,’ but instead of the ‘Friends’ kitchen table, the characters are all sitting around your kitchen table,” Ms. Burnett said. But the medium’s capacity for contextual awareness allows for hybrid forms unlike any that exist today. Experts cautioned that it was still too soon to say what shape they may ultimately take. “Our language has always been 2D, and if your language can’t express it, you can’t imagine it,” Mr. Lelyveld said. But Hollywood studios are already girding themselves for the new reality.”

Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system and is able to inter-operate within the existing Internet infrastructure. "Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of about 30 billion objects by 2020. And. It is estimated that the global market value of IoT will reach $7.1 trillion by 2020." ] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things Examples // NEST thermostats (the Nest learns from user behavior and eventually adjusts the home’s climate control based on previous activity.)
