Gateway, the Magic Mirror: IoT Application for Lift Cars

摘要

We present here Gateway, an IoT (Internet of Things) technology applied to glass mirrors in lift cars (patented in Italy - European patent pending). It transforms common lift car mirrors into interactive touch-screen displays (managed remotely via internet). Unlike traditional cabin video screens, the system (Gateway) has many different purposes: · touch-screen interactive display; · digital signage and communication; · emergency connection to 24-hour servicing (through an additional micro camera); · maintenance support (direct video/audio connection between HQ and maintenance personnel on site). The system is extremely light and thin, with no impact on cabin weight and space. Gateway is a tailor-made product that can be easily adapted to all situations (new cars and modernisation).
