Project developed @ Polifactory: “MOOOR”

M O O O R aims at simplifying a standard home automation system, focusing on the Internet of things, extrapolating its basic functions and communicating with each other. On the basis of this principle, there will be a breakdown of the minimum terms of current technical devices, identification of their common components and their reorganization according to a new logic. All this to answer a future vision in which we will no longer have different devices with predefined functions, but modular devices that will be able to perform the required function as needed. Likewise, the typical self-referencing of the technical appliances from the point of view of matter (we will no longer have plastic boxes to hide) or semiotic (we will have sculptural objects that will not return to their function). All with an open source heart, so that you create a community that can further implement the system.
