Google is embarking on a project that will let you interact with any smart device via your mobile Chrome browser. The project, dubbed 'The Physical Web', seeks to do away with the need for native applications in order to create machine-to-device interactions. The Physical Web was launched on GitHub by Scott Jenson, Google's interaction and user experience designer. On the page, Google claims The Physical Web "isn't about replacing native apps: it's about enabling interaction when native apps just aren't practical." Google lists the following practical use cases for the project: A bus stop that tells you the next bus arrival; parking meters and vending machines that let you pay quickly and easily via your mobile device; a ZipCar that broadcasts a signup page as you walk by, thereby allowing you to immediately register and drive away.

With the current global technological growth, people tend to move into what is termed as “call-smart-wall” where everything can be manipulated from the palm of the hand. The smart gadgets can be used to  automate a home  of an individual to the extent that all the smart appliances are controlled. This can be done from one’s palm using fingers from a safe distance without necessarily being present in the house. All the appliances are structured to operate from a centralized control unit situated upon actuators. The  control system  uses the principle of  12v actuators  to enable easy application of a command from a centralized point, in this case a smart phone.  A good example is the automated gate and security light. A person does not need to come out of the car or hoot for the gate to be opened, but can easily open the gate or switch on the security light by use of a phone. Similarly, the door can be automated in the sense that one does not need to walk always with keys in the pocket.
