Cylab of the Carnegie Mellon University recently released an app aimed at discovering Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices and sharing information about them with smartphone users based on their GPS location.

Called the ‘IoT Assistant App’, it is available for free in Google Play and Apple’s App Store. According to a report today in RFID Journal, the Cylab team has also created an IoT Privacy Infrastructure Portal. Here, users can find resources in IoT while IoT companies can use this platform to showcase their resources. Till date, approximately 2,000 resources are displayed, primarily cameras.

The app is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Europe and the United Kingdom.
