MATRIX applications are built in JavaScript to logically connect sensor and computer vision data streams with outputs, such as LED lights, sending voltages, integrations and data for dashboards and analysis.

An example application would recognize your face and unlock your front door. A security gesture could be added for a basic level of access control. A 2 factor QR Code provided over the phone or fingerprint reader could be integrated more security.

Using configuration files, an application end-user could customize an application for their specific use case. Adding API keys or custom phrases.

Lots of people already know JavaScript, and there is a rich module ecosystem. Part of our goal is to put IoT into the hands of more people.

Don't worry. We like other languages too, all it will need is a supporting SDK. Coming soon.

MATRIX Applications can be used in the traditional manner of an app, single user, single device. We believe swarming meshes of interconnected data streams will be a more common pattern. Most devices will use many applications at once, and many will operate entirely without direct manipulation by an end user. We have built inter-app messaging protocols to help this.

We built MATRIX on top of open source software and we are releasing it for everyone to see under the hood and make contributions😎. We believe in open access to information, especially for the IoT space, where security and privacy are of the utmost importance.

Right now, you need a MATRIX Creator, available at creator.matrix.one.
