<p>This is the last <a href="https://www.dei.uc.pt/weboncampus/event/dataEvent.do?elementId=402&amp;tipo=historico"><span class="caps">WSMU</span></a> presentation I will blog about and, in my humble opinion, it was the best one. I enjoyed both the content as the style presentation, very web2.0-presentation-style full of sweet pictures.</p>

<p>Each day, more and more gadgets are coming up and your living room is becoming more and more a media center. Plasma screens, stereo controller, gaming consoles, home servers, portable media players, dvd players, apple tv, maybe surface(?) and many more are there and <span class="caps">NOT</span> working together.</p>

<p><a href="http://immi.inesc-id.pt/person.php?person_id=13">Pedro Pinto</a> is developing a platform to create a &#8220;remote control&#8221; that controls most of the electronic devices. The challenge is making it universal for all the devices. In order to archive that, semantic services are used making way for future innovations that can take over our living room.</p>
