As the world moves towards the Internet of Things (IoT) future, many existing connected home products (home cameras, thermostats, lighting, door locks, smart hubs, etc.) require apps to be installed on personal smartphones, in order to leverage them as a display. The home is where many things are out in the open and shared among family members. Is the smartphone the best device for the connected home of the future? Should shared home devices be accessed by personal smartphones? These are the questions driving this new project at Mozilla: Project Smart Displays. We have set out to explore the role of displays in the home in order to understand what role they might play in the connected home of the future, where we will identify the opportunities for innovation.

Project overview

Project Smart Displays is onto a 8 week exploration where the first 4 weeks are to understand the real user problems or opportunities. Based on the opportunity/problems identified, the later 4 week is to ideate and come up with product proposals. Here's an overview of the 8 week exploration.
