Nest Protect for the home
You will probably be familiar with the growing trend for smart technology in the home. You can get technological assistance with everything from controlling the temperature to drawing the curtains. One of the most recent items of technology to be released onto the market is Nest Protect.
This is the second generation of Nest’s household smoke and carbon monoxide detection device. First time around there were some problems with the device which had a feature that enabled you to turn off alarms by waving. This feature was found to be unreliable and the device was subject to a recall after being released onto the market.
The new Nest Protect device has a much sleeker and more sophisticated look than the original. You also have the ability to use the in app remote alarm switch off feature as well as a feature which enables you to integrate with the Nest Learning Thermostat.

If you have the app all you have to do is point your smartphone or tablet at the part of the car you need information about. The app automatically finds detailed information about that particular part.
This product is only just starting to become readily available. It seems likely that the augmented reality owner’s manual will be offered as an addition to traditional car manuals in the near future.
