Open source hardware that combines cloud services Ninja Blocks makes things available

The internet of things called the third wave of industry information is getting closer to us, and there are more and more startups associated with it, such as what we have previously reported as "Olly" devices, and twine to "speak" when you need something near you.

Another thing similar to twine appeared. Like twine, Ninja blocks is also a square box, together with the matching Ninja Cloud cloud services, can be for your daily objects and common network services to build a two-way bridge-the Internet of things.

Ninja Blocks (square box) can sense movement, humidity, distance, sound, light and so on, in addition, it can take photos (see http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18584.html > Demo video). Through the Ninja Cloud cloud service, Ninja blocks can seamlessly connect to Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Instagram, Google Docs, Gmail, Dropbox, etc. through Ninja Cloud simple settings, Ninja blocks is triggered, its information will be fed back to the above network services.

In the demo video, Ninja Blocks (action sensor) and webcam installed on the door, and in Ninja cloud set feedback mechanism (induction to vibrate [open door] that is the photo-driven text), a simple and practical internet of things to achieve.

Ninja blocks is popular on the creative financing platform Kickstarter, gaining more than $100,000 trillion in financing (its original target is $24,000). Ninja blocks is also an open-source hardware, and friends interested in studying its hardware can download relevant files here.

As Cisco puts it: the technology limitations of the Internet of things are rapidly receding. When countless objects are interconnected, conversational, and learning, the only limit will be our imagination.
