SIXTHâ„¢ is a Java-based middleware for the mobile Sensor Web.
The Internet of Things (IoT) offers the potential of a world in which computing has become ubiquitous. A world in which a plethora of devices at any given time can be providing sensor data to allow for the creation of rich sensor-driven mobile applications. The breadth and depth of new applications possibilities, commercial opportunities and innovations within this rapidly emerging and increasingly mobile-centric landscape is truly awesome but to access all the sensors around a given user at any point in time is still a non-trivial task.
SIXTHâ„¢ creates a producer/consumer sensor web around a user where the user has apps to find and locate sensors automatically around them to create more feature rich app experiences. Developers are provided with an abstraction layer that gives the ability to access these sensors without the technical hurdles associated with previous solutions.
