Interactive, Mobile Internet of Things Device with Image Capture Capability

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an interactive, mobile Internet of Things (IoT) device with image capture capability. In particular, one example embodiment of the present disclosure is a “life-size” (e.g., around 4-6 feet in height) anthropomorphic device that can move around an environment and interact with humans and/or other devices in the area. For example, the device can respond to commands and/or capture images of and/or with humans in the area. As one example, the captured images can be in the style of a self-portrait photograph (also known as a “selfie”) and can depict the device positioned alongside one or more humans

Interactive Surface-Mounted Internet of Things Device

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an interactive lighting device that includes sensor-equipped lighting elements that respond to users. In one particular example, the interactive lighting device of the present disclosure can include a structure (e.g., a custom designed structure) fashioned in the shape of a planter (e.g., a container for live plants) that can be mounted on a surface (e.g., a wall) and which can provide various lighting effects based on events (e.g., the presence or movement of users) detected by sensors of the interactive lighting device. For example, the interactive lighting device can control lighting elements such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on outputs from various types of sensors (e.g., step sensor, gesture sensor, proximity sensor, or an image sensor). In some embodiments, sensor data can be aggregated to produce different results as shown in camera and proximity sensors
