  • The difference between a traditional mirror TV and our smart mirror TV is that performing physical maintenance on the traditional version requires taking the whole mirror off the wall, which is a labor-intensive process. With Pro:Idiom integrated into the smart mirror, we now have a solution that is much simpler to install and service. It no longer needs to be removed from the wall. The service now happens through the software. Plus, it can even be powered through Power-over-Ethernet
  • The Sinclair Hotel’s use of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) throughout the entire property is a leap forward in design and efficiency. All guest rooms and common areas run almost entirely on PoE, so there are very few 120-volt outlets or appliances. This technology enables the hotel to reduce its energy consumption by 30 to 40 percent while reducing the risk of electrical malfunctions

    This article spoke about Marriott's new luxury smart hotel, which may actually be the first fully smart hotel in the U.S. The hotel is powered fully by Power of Ethernet which allows it to save about 30 to 40 percent on energy consumption. The hotel also has OLED TVs in every guest room, which consumes the least energy among televisions. Furthermore, the mirrors in the bathroom are smart mirrors which means that there is no need to remove the mirror to fix it, you can simply fix it online through the software.

With precise location based advertising, the ads you get will be more personal to you and not just your location.

  • The product of decades of research in robotics and machine learning, Flippy represents a synthesis of motors, sensors, chips and processing power that wasn’t possible until recently
  • Costing less to employ than a minimum-wage worker, Flippy is built to slip in right alongside humans on the fast-food line.
  • Off-the-shelf robot arms have plunged in price in recent years, from more than $100,000 in 2016, when Miso Robotics first launched, to less than $10,000 today, with cheaper models coming in the near future
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Miso can offer Flippys to fast-food restaurant owners for an estimated $2,000 per month on a subscription basis, breaking down to about $3 per hour
  • A human doing the same job costs $4,000 to $10,000 or more a month, depending on a restaurant’s hours and the local minimum wage. And robots never call in sick
  • So far, early versions of Flippy have put in time on the line at Dodger Stadium and at locations of CaliBurger
