Abstract
A device implementing dynamic library access based on proximate programmable item detection includes a sensor and a processor configured to detect, using the sensor, a programmable physical item in a proximate area. The processor is further configured to, responsive to detecting the programmable physical item, provide an indication of available functions for programming the programmable physical item. The processor is further configured to receive input of code that comprises at least one of the available functions for programming the programmable physical item. The processor is further configured to program the programmable physical item based at least in part on the code. In one or more implementations, the processor may be further configured to translate the code into a set of commands for programming the programmable physical item and to transmit the set of commands to the programmable physical item.
