Sun SPOT (Small programmable object technology) is basically a Java programmable sensor or communication device developed by Sun Microsystems. Basically a small device of embedded programming which can be connected to a computer using a base station via USB. The SPOT contains a light sensor, temperature sensor and an accelerometer. These parameters can 
be programmed to produce a colour variations in a LED on the SPOT(a handheld device available with the kit).
The SPOT kit is basically the first step of an anticipated next generation technology by SUN for java based hardware systems. The most interesting part of this is that the entire system is opensource. It runs on a small version of Java virtual machine called Sqwak. We can use any IDE like netbeans to create applications for sun spot.
