Meural integration with 3rd party local and IOT devices and services

Since the Meural device maintains a constant internet connection, it would be good to utilize the connectivity for gesture and proximity based functions, as well as event based functions.

Imagine having your Meural device displaying artwork and photos, then you hear your smart doorbell ring, and immediately, your mural displays a live view of the doorbell camera (user customizable timeout, e.g., 20 seconds).

 

Or another scenario, the Meural is displaying artwork, and you approach it, and the gesture sensor being used as a makeshift proximity sensor, is able to display low opacity overlay of some of the metadata of the photo.

 

Or you approach the Meural and perform a custom gesture where the device pulls up an info screen displaying various preset dashboards, e.g., weather, network stats (integrating with Netgear routers), or even displaying custom dashboards from services like grafana.

It may even be possible to integrate with IP camera systems and provide quick gesture access to the camera views, but then smoothly transitioning back to the photos and other artwork when you step away from the device.

 

While the primary function remains to display images and other artwork, the networking capabilities can be leveraged to provide other value-add functions.

 

Depending on how much the gesture sensor can be adjusted, it could double for both gestures and proximity. Or since there is a vertical and horizontal sensor, depending on orientation, one could be set to a longer range and higher sensitivity for proximity detection, while the other is used for gesture input.
