Brivo Labs recently announced the official release of the SAM API at the South by Southwest conference held in Austin, TX. SAM gives developers the tools needed to create applications that enhance everyday experiences for people by changing the way they interact with physical spaces including offices, restaurants, arenas and other large venues.
With a vision of becoming the single sign-on for the physical world, Brivo Labs designed its SAM API to authenticate visitors and associate many kinds of secure credentials to access actual devices and spaces. Social authentication and provisioning of access is implemented by connecting with leading social network platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+. SAM also provides developers with the resources to perform data analysis, manage devices, authorise schedules, stream stored video and perform real time device control with remote automation.
