How to create smart data from open data

One of the things that came through loud and clear from speakers and delegates from 170 smart cities around the world at our recent Smart City InFocus event in China’s smart city capital, Yinchuan, is how technology and data are not important in themselves, but how they enable citizen value, citizen inclusion and city sustainability. I believe we will see this demonstrated even more clearly as cities advance to an economy of data model driven by services consumed by citizens.

How IoT will play a crucial role in slashing energy use

The main theme in this issue will focus on energy efficiency in industry. We want to highlight the importance of the Internet of Things' functions to help communities and industry in becoming smarter energy consumers.

Oil prices may have bottomed out, but energy use still remains one of the highest manufacturing costs. It is also one of the most tedious to track down: where do you start when you want to reduce your energy bill? Fortunately, new ICT technologies and especially advances through the Internet of Things (IoT) are now emerging that can make a difference.

Smart cities vs “locked-in” cities

One of the key issues facing modern cities today is to avoid municipalities being locked in to technology from a single provider, and to ensure they are free to transition to the most convenient products and services for citizens offered by competitors.

QuVi, Dario Scalini ha inventato la macchina che consente di proiettare persone tridimensionali.

Era il 1977 quando l’ologramma della principessa Leila apparve al cinema davanti a Luke Skywalker e al vecchio Obi-Wan Kenobi, proiettato dal piccolo C1-P8. Il primo capitolo di Star Wars sul grande schermo entrava a pieno titolo nella storia degli effetti speciali mentre l’universo fantascientifico di George Lucas creava un immaginario fatto di tecnologie impensabili per la vita reale, che è arrivato a oggi pressoché inalterato. Non a caso, è questo l’esempio che Dario Scalini cita quando gli si chiede di spiegare che cos’è il QuVi. Né più né meno, la macchina che realizza quel che succedeva nella saga hollywoodiana di 40 anni fa.
