This is fascinating technology. But even as an early adopter, this UX is a bit too complex and overwhelming for me.

@gregbarbosa putting stickers on objects, drawing custom workflows on the app. It all seems very DIY and unintuitive. I'm sure this is just early days for the tech, but I don't expect any significant adoption on a consumer level at this point. This type of tech is already being used in experiential marketing, but it is more as a gimmick than everyday functionality like these MIT guys are showcasing.
@rosssheingold This is delivered out of MIT Labs. I think it is early days as well, but then anyone who wants to program the objects around them won't have the same mind set as people who only user their iPhone to make calls. But I can also imagine generating and delivering complex automation applications to that kind of user as well.

@rosssheingold it would seem the target audience is less early adopters / product enthusiasts, and more hardware hackers (arduino, raspberry pi), etc.

@rosssheingold I completely agree. Fascinating, but cumbersome right now. Sometimes this inevitable due to the tech choice as well.

Awesome app. I just downloaded it on my iPhone and was wondering on how to actually use it?

@acelotfi It seems at the moment you create your own smart objects and actions using the "Open Hybrid" platform linked from the site
What I find most interesting isn't this product and it's inevitable success as a technology (not necessarily a specific company) but how this will affect our daily lives. The possibilities of this tool will enable **everyone who makes anything** to completely reimagine their UI.
So exciting! 😆
Wowowowowowowow!!!!!!! I really haven't been this excited about tech in a long time. It would be great though if there was another way to program the functions without painting the black and white grids.
Wow. This is super interesting. The description from Reality Editor's website says "This all sounds like science fiction, but it’s not. We’ve made some of our research publicly available. You can download the Reality Editor in the App Store® and use our open source platform called Open Hybrid to build a new generation of Hybrid Objects. This vision is not only for the DIY designer and engineers, but is also fully feasible for the next generation of high-tech users."

@thiojoe@acelotfi I'm trying to figure out how this gets access to all the systems? Bluetooth? It's not very clear, but it's definitely a game changer.
