If you've been curious about Raspberry Pi, and were afraid it may be some foodie’s next dessert sensation, then this is your opportunity to step out of the shadows and experience a hands-on opportunity to see what the Internet of Things actually means..

Working alongside experts from O’Reilly and PTC, and using the ThingWorx® IoT platform and Vuforia™ augmented reality technology, you’ll take your idea to a prototype in no time.
