New Data Feed: Cosm

Update #3 · Oct 7, 2012 · 1 comment

I'm excited to announce a partnership with Cosm! This means that any data feed on Cosm can be connected to the Visualight system. With thousands of publicly available data streams and the ability to add your own, partnering with Cosm greatly expands the capability of Visualight.

From the Cosm Website:
"Cosm connects people to devices, applications, and the Internet of Things. As a web-based service built to manage the world's real-time data, Cosm gives people the power to share, collaborate, and make use of information generated from the world around them."

How it works: To integrate an existing Cosm data feed you will simply add the feed and datastream IDs (feeds can have more than one datastream) to your Visualight online. Once you have connected a feed, you will be able to customize the visualization based on that data. Cosm also provides a simple interface for adding your own data. There are a ton of example on how to connect anything to Cosm. Basically if it can be connected to the internet it can be visualized with Visualight!

Awesome stuff already on Cosm:
