“A service that enables you to connect, tag and share real time sensor data from objects, devices, buildings and environments around the world. The key aim is to facilitate interaction between remote environments, both physical and virtual.” Y un poquito más sobre ellos…
Conectar, etiquetar y compartir datos en tiempo real a través sensores puestos en objetos, dispositivos, edificios y entornos. Y luego poder monitorizarlos desde cualquier lugar, mostrarlos donde quieras o usarlos para construir algo.
Algunas de sus aplicaciones y formas de usar Pachube:
- … a device designer, you might create a population of mobile gadgets that makes use of ad-hoc and one-to-many sensor connections, or USB dongles that respond to each other at a distance
- … an interaction designer, you might build environments that respond to climate data from different parts of the world (or, perhaps, other interactive environments)
- … a graphic designer, you might create dynamic realtime visualisations (using Processing or Flash) of physical sensor data
- … a web designer, you might build a website that responds in realtime to conditions or interactions in the physical world (for example, by using javascripts to change document elements dynamically in response to sensor data)
- … a wearables designer, you might produce smart clothing or footwear that connects and interacts across the network and foster communities around people who wear them
- … a developer, you might webscrape interesting data to add it to the repository or route feeds via other web services to create mashups
- … a blogger, you might subscribe to RSS or Atom feeds of particular sensor taggings, and get updates when new feeds are added
- … a games designer, you might create networked or online game that enable players to interact across the planet, or respond to conditions in the physical world
- … a sociologist, you might monitor communities of geographically-specific sensor data in order to inform the design or participation process
- … an urban designer, you might track pollution and climate data from a section of the city and embed this data in external websites for public information purposes
- … a researcher, you might log sensor histories over time, export graphs and compare aggregates of similar sensor types
- … a fleet or stock owner, you might track, and make public or private, the location and status of individual vehicles, ships, inventory or livestock
- … a space scientist, you might extract individual data items from a spacecraft (like “interplanetary magnetic field”) and make them available for public dissemination.
