Abstract

IoT enables the worldwide connection of heterogeneous things or objects, which can hence interact with each other and cooperate with their neighbors to reach common goals, by using different communication technologies and communication protocol standards. IoT and related technologies can increase or reduce the gap among people. In this respect, this chapter aims to highlight the virtuose use of the IoT paradigm by providing examples of its application for enhancing universal access in different fields.
