 Future Media Experiences in the Internet of Things. Speaker: Jason DaPonte
Media experiences from weather reports, to cooking shows to documentaries, are set for a seismic shift as they become part of the Internet of Things - the network of connected objects and data that are communicating online.


As TVs, games consoles and other similar devices become connected, they will be able to provide us with more engaging and personal experiences. Media and technology producer Jason DaPonte makes predictions about how this world will unfold. www.entertheswarm.com
