Internet of things: a review of literature and products

This paper offers an HCI perspective on the emergent agenda of the Internet of Things (IoT). The purpose is to provide insights and resources for how HCI could engage productively with the IoT agenda while it is still evolving and being realised. We examined and reviewed HCI-related literature and commercial products of the IoT, categorising a final collection of 89 research papers and 93 commercial products into two tables. Through this, we are able to provide a snapshot of the types, extent and foci of both research and commercial efforts. It has also revealed trends, opportunities, as well as gaps for how HCI could proceed when engaging more deeply with the IoT. Finally, this review provides insights for HCI, suggesting tools, methods and potential approaches that can help ensure a human-centred IoT.
