Sony Incubator's MESH Canvas Lets Users Create Smart Projects
Meghan Young — January 22, 2015 — Tech
The maker culture might have plateaued recently, but that isn't to say the MESH Canvas project will not find its backers. Those who are fascinated with smart technology and want to try their hand at creating something along those lines will appreciate the MESH Canvas kit allowing them to do just that.
Launched by Sony Incubator, the MESH Canvas project work with wireless functional modules dubbed MESH Tags, which need to be connected to perform a certain action. Thankfully, "users don’t need to do any coding when creating their smart projects since Canvas has a drag-and-drop interface," writes Psfk. Once connected, they can develop such products as a trash saying 'Thank you,' every time its used and more.
