Towards an Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia and Musical Things (Io3MT) Environment

The Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia and Musical Things (Io3MT) is a new concept that arises from the confluence of several areas of computer science, arts, and humanities, with the objective of grouping in a single place devices and data that explore the five human senses, besides multimedia aspects and music content. In this paper, we present the first practical environment that adheres to the principles outlined in this area, providing a comprehensive specification of the architecture, devices, protocols, and tools employed in its building. To validate the technical feasibility of our proposed system, we conducted an evaluation of the system’s quality of service (QoS). Furthermore, we performed a comparative analysis with related work in the field, providing a comprehensive assessment of our approach contributions and novelties.
