The Physical Web

  • Scott Jenson | Google

The Physical Web github.com/google/physical-web is an effort to extend the core superpower of the web – the URL – to everyday physical objects. Our core premise is that you should be able to walk up to any “smart” physical object (e.g. a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, a rental car) and interact with it without first downloading an app. The user experience of smart objects should be much like links in a web browser: i.e., just tap and use.
