On the IoT front, Acer showcased its BeingWare vision where it plans to connect IoT devices to the cloud to enable real-time data updates, be it at home or in industrial settings or even in the public space.

Essentially BeingWare is a connected, cloud-based solution to help make sense of the data from IoT devices, which are expected to grow vastly in numbers and usage in the coming years.

Acer is looking at BeingWare being used across various use cases – for instance, being synced with air quality monitors at home to give real-time updates about the same, or smart trackers to help keep tabs on loved ones.

In the public space, Acer demoed how its cloud platform can be used in Smart cities to power street lighting in order to make it more energy efficient, while switching street lights on and off automatically when an object is detected.
