  Introduction  The Internetof Things (IoT) is a scenario in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.  The term ‘Internet of Things’ from its early introduction in 1990s by Mark Weiser has evolved enormously and now it has taken the centre stage. It goes beyond Machine-to- Machine Communication and covers many protocols, domains and applications.  “THINGS” in IoT can refer to anything and everything that comes to your mind. Starting from a heart monitoring implant to farm animals having biochip transponders, automobiles with built-in sensors to even a simple chair having pressure sensors, goods, objects, machines, appliances, buildings, vehicles, animals, people, plants, soil and many more can become the ‘things’ in IoT.  The things we encounter in our daily lives, the machines which we encounter at our workplaces and at home, the buildings we live in, the cars we travel in, even we will become a part of IoT.

  Introduction  This isdone by providing a unique identity to the things. The current technology of ipv6 is normally used in doing the same.  Then sensors are embedded on it to sense things happening around and on it. Technologies like RFID, Zigbee, Z-wave, NFC, Wi-Fi and several other microelectronics circuits can be used which are getting smaller and cheaper day by day.

  Trends  Reality searchengines: IoT will transform the face of search engines. There will be reality search engines, for e.g. you can ask Google to search for your keys if lost as your keys will be tagged and can be traced via internet.  The gaming industry will grow and will have better opportunities. I see games and play having a huge potential role in activating and connecting the physical objects in the world around us, and paving the way for broader application across the range of human experiences.  Agriculture: The field of precision agriculture, a practice that uses analytics to optimize farming decisions, is a gold mine of opportunities for IoT innovation.  Entertainment, Fitness, Smart watch, Location and tracking, Light & temperature control, Energy optimization, Predictive maintenance, Connected appliances, E-meters, Smart street lights, Pipeline leak detection, Traffic control, Surveillance cameras, Centralized and integrated system control, Flow optimization, Real time inventory, Asset tracking, Employee safety, Firmware updates, Remote monitoring, Ambulance telemetry, Drug tracking, Hospital asset tracking are some of the fields where IoT is already being used.

  Next 5 years…Technocracy IoT’s applications and its uses are limited by our imaginations. It will make social networking sites look like a minor event. It will transform the face of marketing and advertising industries.  Media, Environmental monitoring, Infrastructure management, Manufacturing, Energy management, Medical and healthcare systems, Building and home automation, Transportation, Large scale deployments are some of the areas which will grow in next five years.  The digitization of business and life will revamp the enterprise vendor pecking order — more like destroy it — create $1.9 trillion in economic value add via the Internet of things and lead to a digital workforce and smart machines that will replace 1 in 3 knowledge workers.  The Internet of Things promises to change the way companies interact with their customers. New devices connected to the Internet will bring greater interactivity and a wealth of new data about customer activity.  Privacy may become meaningless and it is one of the biggest concerns on the IoT. 4,000 Exabytes of information connected to one world wide web is a concern for privacy. Seeing its positive aspects, IoT will give many opportunities to the security software industries.

  Interest Areas  Understandingof the Internet of Things is that it is the services built on top of the object data that are the important elements: “The information and services based on these objects need to be perceived and understood by human users, which necessarily leads to various sort of interfaces... and augmented reality is one of them.”  With the wide spectrum of IoT scope, I would like to work on mobile augmented reality, digitization, security, big data analysis, segmentation and visualization.
