\"smiirl-fliike-perspective\"<\/p>\n

At the very core of the Internet of Things is the idea of creating communications & synergies between two objects, normally your smart-phone and another piece of hardware; however, perhaps LeCamping startup Smiirl (“Social Media Integrated In Real Life”), whose ambition is to “build original & connected objects designed for businesses” has stumbled upon the next generation of connected objects by creating hardware that embodies the Internet. Co-founded by\u00a0Gauthier Nadaud (CEO),\u00a0Raphael Pluvinage(CPO) &\u00a0Romain Cochet(CTO), the startup is currently raising funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You just need to look at Fliike<\/a>, their first product which is currently available for pre-order, to get an idea of where their going. An Internet-enabled Facebook counter, the box is meant for brick and mortar retail stores, and updates in real-time as fans like a page. It’s Train-Station like roll-over (seen in the video below) is quite attractive to the eye – my gut tells me it would attract a lot of people liking the page just to see the roll-over effect.<\/p>\n
