Smart-Its

Smart-Its are generic, cheap computational devices that can be used for post-hoc computational enhancement of everyday objects. In the form factor of a sticker, Smart-Its allow objects to perceive their environment, communicate with peers, and have customizable behavior. Smart-Its is part of the European Union's Disappearing Computer initiative.
