Photos from the frontier: The Internet of Things

Networked sensors are finding their way into an increasingly broad set of applications marketers have dubbed The Internet of Things. The following photo gallery provides a few glimpses of this diverse frontier in electronics and distributed computing.

At its core, the Internet of Things is all about the mote, the tiny module that combines some sort of sensor and communications, and perhaps a bit of memory and computing capability. One example (below) is a mote designed by IBM using the network technology of startup Dust Networks, recently acquired by Linear Technology.
