22. #FullStackCon 2019 22 http://purl.org/aframe-webthing Web of Thing aka WoT • W3C working group – Standardization • Interaction with devices – using Web technologies: • JSON, RESTful, • HTTP, WebSockets, CoAP… • Things description – JSON-TD / JSON-LD – Semantics: (iot.schema.org) Simplified Thing Description { "name":"Switch", "id":"urn:dev:wot:…:switch", "base":"https://…/switch", "properties": { "on": { "type":"boolean", // ... "href":"/on" } } // … "actions": // … "events": // … }…
23. Samsung Open Source Group 23 https://social.samsunginter.net/@rzr Mozilla WebThing project • FLOSS Platform for IoT – using Web – with Privacy By Design • WebThing API and Schemas – Can be implemented – using native (C/C++), Python, – JS (node.js or IoT.js) • Things gateway – to connect, control (UI) – and automate webthings G D P R G D PR A rt. 25 A rt. 25
24. Samsung Open Source Group 24 https://social.samsunginter.net/@rzr Javascript the language of Web (of Twins) • IoT.js: an alternative runtime inspired by Node.js: – Powered by JerryScript engine designed for micro-controllers – Feature: Networking (HTTP, MQTT...) & IO (I2C, GPIO, ADC, PWM) • Things can be build using webthing-iotjs module: – Standalone HTTP servers exposing Mozilla Things API: • RESTful architecture: read, update operations – Devices can be connected to MozIoT webthing gateway • ACL (JWT), Remote access using pkgkite tunneling – Or Web services (OpenData, Social Media etc)

26. #FullStackCon 2019 26 http://purl.org/aframe-webthing Example: A Robotic arm idea • From concept: – Top level properties: Angles: • Torso [-180, +180] • Shoulder [0, +90] • Arm [0, +90] • Hand [0, +45] • To early specifications: – Design Model CAD→ VR/AR • Simulation • → Identify integration issues: – (Location, constraints) – Implement embedded system • Sourcing hardware • Controller / Controllee • Adjust and iterate – Thing description+API stay up
27. #FullStackCon 2019 27 http://purl.org/aframe-webthing WebThing to XR Integration • A-Frame components can be accessed from DOM API • So attributes can be updated from JS – Bind Webthing from URL • Using HTTP polling (and/or WebSockets if supported) – If shared through gateway (server): • Set URL + JWT token to requests (client app) – authorization issued from WebUI (devel menu) • It works both way: – Sensors: (Real to XR) & Actuators (XR to Real) • https://www.npmjs.com/package/aframe-webthing

31. #FullStackCon 2019 31 http://purl.org/aframe-webthing Lets build the Web of Twins ? • Digital twins – Introduced by Dr M. Grieves (2002) • Real time (or deferred) connectivity: – Between the physical component • and its digital counterpart • “Devices as service” concept: • Applies to many industries: – City, manufacturing, health, transport… • Useful for: – Re/Co/Design – Monitoring, Quality tracking – Impact analysis: • Dependency, process, lifecycle, financial... – Digital traces for analytic – Simulation, AI/ML etc – Improve decision making

33. #FullStackCon 2019 33 http://purl.org/aframe-webthing Summary • 3D in browser has never been so easy – Using A-frame framework supported by browsers and devices • Ready for JavaScript developers – Develop for low end microcontrollers using IoT.js – And support WebThing API to be interacted from the web • Direct or connected to gateway (shared securely to apps) • Let’s develop the Web of Twins: – built on FLOSS tools with privacy by design
