THis looks interesting

Quote:\"Nexpaq raised $280,000 on Kickstarter last May when it introduced the Batpaq “truly modular smartphone case” that includes a frame and snap-in modules for such features as LED lighting, home automation, and SD card readers.
Quote:Ostensibly, the product was launched as a cellphone case, but that’s just the beginning. As demonstrated at CES 2016, Nexpaq wants to extend the product’s reach into the home, the car, wearables, and more.


Quote:Naturally there needs to be software to go with the modules. For example, the breathalyzer module needs to talk to some kind of alcohol-measuring app. Nexpaq has rudimentary apps for each of its modules, but the company is offering a Nexpaq developer’s kit (NDK) – both hardware and software – for other developers to build their own solutions.
Quote:Regardless of whether you use Nexpaq’s framework or your own, this is the way I’d like to see all light switches built in the future – with a framework that allows consumers themselves to build their own user interfaces and experiences. \"
