When we think about the future of smart living, one company comes to mind: Samsung. With the advent of “map view” for SmartThings, our expectations have been dashed. This amazing feature not only turns your smartphone or Samsung TV into a powerful mainframe but also a home control center.
Imagine this: You are a traveler on a business trip, thousands of miles away from your base. By tapping (pressing) your phone’s screen or asking for a voice command for your Samsung TV, you can navigate a 3D map of your entire home. This isn’t a static image – it’s a dynamic illustration display that mirrors all your smart devices, i.e. light bulbs, thermostats, air purifiers, and intelligent power switches. Every device is virtually at the right point in this virtual world which makes it so easy to control and manage your home remotely from any location.
Map View eliminates all the annoying menu systems that plague existing home smart apps. It provides an all-inclusive insight into your connectivity universe to take control of how you manipulate lighting, temperature, and air quality through a simple, synchronized, and friendly interface. Whether it’s preheating your home before you get there or customizing your home according to your mood and needs, Mapping View will help your space work as per your needs.
This mind-blowing 3D walk-through experience is a revolutionary improvement over the former 2D map view, which only produced flat floor plans. Samsung has applied AI applications in the creation of devices such as the bespoke Jet Bot vacuum cleaner. With the ability to even see around furniture obstructions, these devices are smart enough to intelligently map your home, creating a personalized 3D model that is then used within the SmartThings app.
The meaning of magic is still just beginning in a special sense. The map view goes beyond smartphones, taking them out of their comfort zone. There is no need to rely on third-party devices: the entire ecosystem around your intelligent home can run from a Samsung-made TV, and this will be a unique solution that will give you so much control and ease of use. Samsung has released its smart home technology worldwide to cash in on the smart living trend and shows that it aims to make smart homes even more accessible and applicable to non-tech enthusiasts.
