Luc Julia, a vice president at Samsung's innovation lab in Menlo Park, California, demonstrated the project, called SAMI, or the Samsung Architecture for Multimodal Interactions, at a conference north of San Francisco on Friday.
Still in its early stages, SAMI aims to be a platform that can collect data from any connected device, including wearable computers like the Fitbit, and make that data available for consumption by other devices.
It's designed for use by companies that make wearable computers, home automation equipment, and automobiles, as a common platform they can use to build additional services for their customers.
