Public IOTA Lab has been launched

This new environment seeks to bring IOTA to a broader audience

IOTA’s community does not stop supporting their distributed ledger project, and this time, a new environment for demonstrating the potential of IOTA applications to people has been launched. The Public IOTA Lab is a project to raise public awareness of this ledger’s potential, by showing possible applications, both big and small, that may attract people and companies and convince them to integrate them.

“Discover the possibilities! Very excited to launch our „public IOTA Lab“. Unfortunately, with some delay. The aim of our Lab is to show the possibilities and benefits of #IOTA live to interested people. A first demonstration is now available #IOTAstrong” reads the announcement made via Twitter.

The website is currently quite simple, with nothing more than an introduction of the site’s objective and vision. A link to a “Real Use Case” is available for the visitor to click on. Then, the lab will present the user a “small live tool”, which is more of a proof-of-concept. According to the description, Pubio – as it was named this tool – can be used to monetize the content on a website, if data transfer is an active aspect of it.

Basically, the tool is an open-source combination of HTML5 animations, JavaScript and some Trinity Wallet addresses aiming to demonstrate the structure and functioning of the Tangle, such as the speed and data transferability, retrieving some transaction data from the network and outputting it to a table – named Driver Table for the sake of the animation.

A Medium post published by a member of the public IOTA project expands this information, naming advantages of the application, characteristics, applications in real life, and the background of the app – which is to be noted, is based on the field of Smart Energy, where IOTA transfers activates the mechanism to refill the energy tank of, in this case, a little car named Pubio.

Finally, the post states that more applications will be presented in the future, some of them will demonstrate automatic reading of measurement data and the automatic triggering of subsequent processes.

"The real IOTA revolution will take place when applications are realized that benefit the industry as well as investors, and when the broader population understands and accepts IOTA as well as recognizes benefits in their daily lives. We want to support this process as an independent group"
