1. 1. ETEREAWelcome to urban Wi-Fi landscape
2. 2. PSSD approach to reorganizing existing structures for users
3. 3. 182 There is no doubts in fundamental role of infrastructure, but finally also service designers start ackowledging it #fjord #accenture #trends2014
4. 4. Local community Little boxes Glocalization Person-to-person networks Just like in old times Homer likes to meet his friends at Moes while Marge is actively partici- pating in church community. However real contemporary familys anchor is their living room connected to global world by TV-news and telephone. Unlike her parents Lisa finds like-minded friends in different places using the Internet. (She also likes playing poker there.) Despite his love to TV Homer tries all new de- vices and theyre changing his relations to oth- ers. (Though its still unclear whether some- thing will make him spend more time outdoors) 22 Internet becomes our main public space changing relations to communities and the way we connect in the city #networks #glocalization #publicrealm #shrinking
5. 5. We demand more and more media and video content which overloads 3G networks. Wi-Fi is better: cheaper and faster #traffic #offload #telcos #partnership 3G Wi-Fi 36
6. 6. Hertzian space Cyber space Tangible space Even when dealing with online world, user experience is always real and it should be continuous if well designed #affordance #hertzian #UX #seamless 56
7. 7. Digital level of infrastructure provides unprecedented flexibility in its adjustment for users needs #tailored #customizable #unique #offer
8. 8. New wave of city- wide Wi-FI projects is stimulated by smart cities hype and connected lifestyles dreams #city #value #goals #competition 64
9. 9. NYC sees Wi-Fi as a part of Digital Leadership programme Estonia deployed it for independence from Soviet Russia Bryant Park wanted to attract more visitors #success #stories 72
10. 10. Infrastructure will define the growth Internet changes social life and it could be nice to compensate it We need wifi to offload 3g and keep being connected Our world is a continuous realm of virtual and physical and all elements of it should work for better experience New infrastructure is flexible and delivers additional values to people #success #stories #city #value #goals #competition #tailored #customizable #unique #offer #affordance #hertzian #UX #seamless #traffic #offload #telcos #partnership #networks #glocalization #publicrealm #shrinking #trends2014

14. 14. Piazza Argentina transitional square with Openwifi via Morgagni more private space with Freeluna Upcycle as an indoor example to under- stand what people Network activity in different places doesnt replicate the observed situation outdoors, but is close to it in overall patterns #places #patterns #changes #rythms 100
15. 15. - Wi-Fi service is not well designed and is underused even in the places with free connection, people go on using their paid 3G - Different places are good for different usages including online behaviour level so people at piazza Argentina can mainly use social networks, while in via Morgagni they will stay longer to watch something and in Upcycle they would work. - Besides spatial there is temporal difference, and the same places change during the day and network use doesnt completely replicate this patterns, but follow it in a way Observations proved hypothesis which were defined after the first experience of the existing offers: #underused #service #varying #spaces
16. 16. 30yo, Egyptian, makes pizza. What would I do in the park? Watch trees? My phone screen is what important to see for me! 60yo professor, I dont have time to learn all these interfaces! I need to work to take care of my ill mother! Take care of your belong- ings, its not that safe around here homeless, unfor- tunate from the other Italian cities - they heard that theres Openwifi somewhere, but they cannot find it without internet - when there apperared Wi-Fi, electricity plugs were not working anymore - the bench is new, but looks used a lot already because its in the place used by homeless and undesirables, however it found its users Journalists - they want to work out because the weather was nice - using their own 3g modem - they tried to connect to Wi-Fi, but it didnt work - while talking the african guy approached saying to leave them alone to work in peace being quiet agrresive even Despite existing problems there are plenty of people who spend hours outdoors with their devices #various #users #public #diversity 142

19. 19. Maybe its also in place? Didnt know that theres municipal Wi-Fi at all! But can it be reliable? I will just fast Why am I not recieving the messages? Comune ?! Register! Oh! Wi-Fi here! Why here?! Connection before registration stops people from receiving messages and notifications over their normal 3G Communication of overall thing Lots of people dont even know that there is such an Openwifi. Because of communication and existing reputation of public services in Italy there are trust problems Current user journey is full of breakdown moments especially affecting those who dont spend much time outdoors #journey #problems #UX #elements 170
20. 20. 1. Meaningful locations (urban planning) 2. Supportive environment (product design) 3. Information about service (communication) 4. Usefulness of offer (service design) - wrong locations - wrong environment - difficult authorization - no communication - no trust - invisible hotspots - bad maps - offer demand - content - urgency of users need Usefulness Difficulty of access Disbalance in good Wi-Fi equation makes service undesired even though it is completely free for users #final #research #synthesis 176
