If Cerevo’s new product, Hackey, catches on, you might never be able to start a sentence with: “I can’t just flip a switch. . .”
The Japanese company Cerevo used the SXSW festival this week to debut Hackey. Right now, the uses for the device seem limitless.
Hackey is a palm-sized, free standing lock-and-key device. Physically, it has a small key and a box that is WiFi connected.
Now, Hackey doesn’t unlock any doors in the traditional sense. Instead, turning the key triggers an IFTTT command that enables some type of Web service, according to Cerevo’s press release from SXSW.
