A showcase of creative Web of Things use cases – fun prototypes that are nothing like light bulbs.
The W3C seeks to counter fragmentation of the Internet of Things, finding common ground and enabling long-term support. That's the goal of the Web of Things (WoT) ecosystem.
Alongside an introduction to Web of Things, I'll show off my collection of WoT prototypes that cover unusual use cases – like note taking or browsing maps.
As a hobbyist, I've been implementing the Web of Things standards for many years. I've developed a server and a client which power the prototypes.

Christian loves to develop open source software, attends conferences like FOSDEM and has worked in various startups. For the past 7 years, his professional focus has been on the Matrix protocol but he's had an eye on other open standards like Web of Things and ActivityPub - building integrations and prototype servers for the joy of experimenting. He lives in Berlin and is looking forward meeting some of you at WoT week later this month.
