Limited access
Environmental Hazards
Scarce Resources
It’s hard to deploy technology for validation
Limited number of locations often without geographic diversity
Large engineering effort
that is not easily re-used
Lab of Things enables• Interconnecting off-the- shelf
and custom devices
• Scaling field studies through automated monitoring, updates, and data collection
• Sharing data, code, and participants with fellow researchers
Lowering the barrier for conducting field studies
that use connected devices in homes, and
beyond

Lab of Things use in teaching
• Device prototyping• Students develop innovative sensors and devices
• LoT provides connectivity and application execution environment relieving them to concentrate on design of sensor or device, and validating its design
• Multiple devices and protocols• Interconnecting devices working on multiple protocols
• Typically involve capturing events from one type of device (ZWave based door window sensor), to trigger another device (capture an image from a WIFI camera)
• Data collection and visualization• Collection of data from various devices (Multiple Protocols scenario), storing the data in
the cloud and visualizing or analyzing this data using variety of tools
