Fog Computing is a new reference architecture for sensor networks at the edge of the cloud. Its basic idea is to process data locally, in complex sensor nodes, gateways and routers, before moving them into the cloud. Thereby, it protects privacy by default and delivers speed (low latency, high bandwidth). Fog Computing has a very interesting application area, Smart Rooms. Humans will take on wearables forming body sensor hubs and communicating with the surrounding fogs. Because it can be trusted that fogs protect privacy, and because it can be controlled, by putting on the wearable, whether the smart room is entered or not, humans will be in control. That removes a big barrier for the acceptance of the internet of sensors. Therefore, fog computing will enable life with wearables and machines in smart rooms. Fogs mean smartness.
