Thanks to Ninjablocks and their Ninjasphere, Uber meets IoT. Use gesture control to call for an Uber ride. Uber revolutionised the world of personal transport via an app on your mobile. Imagine the same power of apps onto any smart device in your home, business, city, etc. using the operating system you are already familiar with. Try out Snappy Ubuntu Core today and show the world what you are capable of.
