This phenomenon is referred to as "The Internet of Things" or IoT. With the emergence of IoT, the lines between physical products and digital platforms are blurring. This change requires a new way of approaching product development that informs User Experience (UX) design and helps us determine feature sets. In this discussion, we'll explore the landscape of IoT and engage with some practical tools on how to better understand this space.
This discussion will be useful for UX developers at startups and established companies, educators, and investors who want a better understanding of the IoT landscape.
