LINQS is a Proximity Communications Platform that connects physical products to their digital alter ego
The web of everyday things
Every bit of the physical world has a digital counter part. A tree in the park, a bus stop, an artifact in the museum, a dining table, a restaurant menu..they all have something about them in the web. Using smartphones & wearables we are seeking the digital from the physical world.
The digital identity of things is often micro-content, that's used on-the-go. Today's digital services are an overkill for such content & interaction model. Isn't there a need for a web made for & about the Things?
The missing link between the physical & digital
There isn't a direct & easy way of connecting a product to it's digital alter-ego. Today we using mediators like search engines, mobile apps, image recognition & augmented reality to surface the product's digital identity. Search engines give hundreds of answers & often the first one is not the one the product's marketer wants you to see. Expecting people to install mobile apps for transitory needs is impractical. AR & VR work great in a controlled environment but have a long way to go for ubiquity.
An URL or hyperlink is the most ubiquitous way to access digital identity of a thing. Can the smartphone, like a mouse, click the hyperlinks embedded in physical products?
