Dynamic Digital [media] Endpoints: (think digital signage)
When I was at Cognitive Networks, there was a function where you could tell the TV what to display (for dynamic commercials)... But here is the premise of what I mean when I talk about a Dynamic Digital Media Endpoint:
power on device --> registers with CONTROL --> supplies its manifest of functions if new, else provides its ID as online --> CONTROL gives the device an API endpoint to register with --> Device contacts api endpoint --> API endpoint streams slated media to device.
So, for example, I can have a MPV media server running, with an app that any of my devices can be told to register with, declaring their manifest of what media they can accept (play a video, webpage, audio, signage) - and then you just assign content to the device. Whenever it either boots (like a smart TV) it will check in then play what the control tells it. If its a tablet (kiosk) it will just load up that webpage. In your home - you can have a central home management platform and all your devices register to it and you can push whatever content you want to any screen in your home.
Ive done digital signage, wayfinding, routing, geotracking stuff in the past, and I am not sure the current state, but IME previously - this was never elegantly solved.
With the Magic-Wormhole threads and such a lot of really cool things are on the horizon with people being able to build API-Legos via being able to quickly iterate little API widgets with GPT helpers these days... is so fn neat!.
