Transform Daily Objects into Smart Gadgets with MESH! [Mobile World Congress Event Report]

Hosted by Mobile World Capital Barcelona, Mobile World Congress is both an exhibition and conference for all things to do with the mobile industry. This year’s MWC was held from Feb. 7 to Mar. 2, so we headed down for a peek at all the cool devices on display!

Over at the Sony booth, we saw a familiar but very exciting project…

MESH - the instant IoT toolkit that can transform normal things into smart gadgets! Simply attach MESH tags for a range of functions like detecting movement or temperature, or creating your own switch or personal notifications. Developed by a team from Sony’s Seed Acceleration program, MESH is currently open to be backed on crowdfunding platform Tokyo Mirai Mode.

At the event, it was exciting to see so many different people interacting with it and realizing just how many possibilities are born from these simple little tools!

Of course, we had to have a play with it too! Watch below for our MESH experience, which came with a great explanation!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner at programming - there are endless opportunities to learn and unleash your creativity on everything around you. Take these awesome robots by Kenichi Yoshida, who even created MESHBOOK, an awesome “cook book” full of ideas and instructions!

Feeling inspired to connect MESH to your everyday life? Fans in Europe can head over to Tokyo Mirai Mode to back this ingenious project, which ends on Mar. 31 - so get in quick!
