Exploring digital twins Part 3: Raspberry Pi and Azure IoT Hub connection using Python
This is part three in a series of blog posts about some recent Innovation Lab work on Internet of Things (IoT), digital twinning, and the 3D visualisation of IoT device sensor data in Mixiply, Theta’s augmented reality (AR) platform. Extending from part one, this post will demonstrate sending telemetry from a Raspberry Pi IoT device to Azure’s IoT Hub, using Python.

Automating expense reporting with robotic process automation
Nobody likes entering expenses into their company’s business management system, so we decided to tackle the frustration head on. How could we make expense reporting faster? Better? Funner? (ok maybe that’s not a word but you know what we mean!). Could robotic process automation help?

Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Ethereum
Blockchain is another of those “suitcase words” – like artificial intelligence or UX, a term stuffed with multiple meanings. It’s often held up as a signifier of innovation, and is seen by many as the door to a distributed, decentralised internet, and a solution to almost any technological problem. What ‘blockchain’ actually is can be harder to decipher.

Continuous integration and delivery with Team Services and App Center
Recently we launched a new mobile app called Yuppl. It’s an app for 1:1 meetings that helps you have better work conversations. It provides structure to your 1:1s to keep you talking about the right things, and taking action when you said you would.

Object Detection on a Raspberry Pi
Image recognition has become a part of our daily lives, and the technology behind it is advancing at a steady pace. We thought it'd be cool to use the increasing speed and tiny size of lightweight computers like the Raspberry Pi, as well as the efficiency and portability of machine learning libraries such as Tensorflow, to create a standalone, handheld object detector.

IoT SensorTag to Power BI via Streaming Analytics
One of our core innovation lab activities is researching, learning, testing and developing new products with new technologies. By playing with the latest tech, we get a sense of how it might be applied and used. Here's a recent experiment with IoT sensors, by Jim Taylor, Theta's Emerging Technologies Architect.
