“…The contiguous outer circle references some of the most relevant technologies required to provide solutions for such six smart fields, including IoT, Augmented Reality (AR), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Note that some of such technologies are the same as the ones proposed by Industry 4.0 [25], so commercial and industrial deployments are already available in other fields outside smart campuses [26,27]. Moreover, there are also vertical fields like cybersecurity that affect several of the cited technologies, since their contribution is key to avoid potential issues [28].…”

Smart campuses and smart universities make use of IT infrastructure that is similar to the one required by smart cities, which take advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing solutions to monitor and actuate on the multiple systems of a university. As a consequence, smart campuses and universities need to provide connectivity to IoT nodes and gateways, and deploy architectures that allow for offering not only a good communications range through the latest wireless and wired technologies, but also reduced energy consumption to maximize IoT node battery life. In addition, such architectures have to consider the use of technologies like blockchain, which are able to deliver accountability, transparency, cyber-security and redundancy to the processes and data managed by a university. This article reviews the state of the start on the application of the latest key technologies for the development of smart campuses and universities. After defining the essential characteristics of a smart campus/university, the latest communications architectures and technologies are detailed and the most relevant smart campus deployments are analyzed. Moreover, the use of blockchain in higher education applications is studied. Therefore, this article provides useful guidelines to the university planners, IoT vendors and developers that will be responsible for creating the next generation of smart campuses and universities.

“…Envisaging the temperature sensing using the processing of a smartphone's photographic record of the code we correlate the changes in the emission spectra with the changes in the RGB color coordinates of the photographs. The thermometric parameter (Equation (4)) is accessed by the ratio between the green (G) and red (R) channels presented in Figure 2a G R QR ∆ = (4) and the corresponding uncertainty (Equation (5)) is…”

“…The ability to correct errors in damaged zones, the variety of supported coding languages (e.g., numeric, alphanumeric, kanji, kana), the low cost and easy production and the high storage capacity are greater advantages of QR codes, compared with other labels (linear barcodes, RFID, NFC tags). Therefore, it is not surprising that QR codes are now employed in distinct areas of daily life and with different extents, such as anti-counterfeiting and luminescent on-demand tags, [1][2][3] industry 4.0, [4] security (authentication of documents for legal, institutional, or other equivalent purposes), [5] food science and nutrition, [6] and Internet of Things (IoT). [7] With such broad spectrum of applications, in recent years the emphasis has been placed on optimizing and developing the capabilities of QR codes, in order to mitigate their weaknesses.…”

Quick Response (QR) codes are a gateway to the Internet of things (IoT) due to the growing use of smartphones/mobile devices and its properties like fast and easy reading, capacity to store more information than that found in conventional codes, and versatility associated to the rapid and simplified access to information. Challenges encompass the enhancement of storage capacity limits and the evolution to a smart label for mobile devices decryption applications. Organic–inorganic hybrids with europium (Eu3+) and terbium (Tb3+) ions are processed as luminescent QR codes that are able to simultaneously double the storage capacity and sense temperature in real time using a photo taken with the charge‐coupled device of a smartphone. The methodology based on the intensity of the red and green pixels of the photo yields a maximum relative sensitivity and minimum temperature uncertainty of the QR code sensor (293 K) of 5.14% · K−1 and 0.194 K, respectively. As an added benefit, the intriguing performance results from energy transfer involving the thermal coupling between the Tb3+‐excited level (5D4) and the low‐lying triplet states of organic ligands, being the first example of an intramolecular primary thermometer. A mobile app is developed to materialize the concept of temperature reading through luminescent QR codes.

We admire the emerging technologies that fascinate us, as it has become part of our daily life. Internet of Things (IoT) plays a major role in simplifying human effort. It leaps forward taking the advantages of latest wireless devices and communication technologies. IoT is a combination of technologies such as ubiquitous and pervasive computing, wireless communication devices and sensors, Internet protocol, and others. IoT logically interconnects and interoperates physical objects (sensors, wired/wireless communication devices) and virtual objects (web applications, virtual machines) over existing Internet infrastructure. IoT collects and records heterogeneous data (such as documents, images, videos, audios, and others) from heterogeneous applications (such as CCTV, medical images, barcode reader, and others) with the help of Internet. People, physical objects, and virtual objects are logically connected to the network to observe and analyze for decision‐making. Therefore, IoT has transformed to be an important evolving technology and inevitable in every sectors.
