DESCRIPTION
"We’re no longer telling objects what to do and why – now, they sense, respond without our direction. Right now we are in the perfect storm for the Internet of Things with accessible robotics, affordable sensors, wireless communications, object tagging, and easy broadband access."TRANSCRIPT

“A model of computation that� will “weave itself into the fabric� of our lives, until it is� indistinguishable from it”
— Adam Weiser
— Indistinguishable from environment
— Delivered in manner appropriate to current context
Weiser’s original vision:
From GUI to context data
Inventing the future
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it”
— Alan Kay
Interaction design
— User-centered design
— Systems design
— Genius design
“Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed, and foisted upon us with no understanding — or even care — for how we will use them”
— Donald Norman
User-centered design
UCD focuses on the user’s needs, problems, and goals to guide the design of a system
“If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse”
— Henry Ford
Combination of components to realize a solution in essence, the development of a system of systems
Systems design
The process of exclusively relying on the wisdom and experience of the designer to make all the design decisions
Genius design
“A quality user experience can be created with genius design if one starts ... basing decisions on well-established usability data and studies”
— Jacob Nielsen
Steve JobsiPhone
Classes of user interface
— Tangible user interface
— Surface user interface
— Ambient user interfaces
“Computation in basic objects, environments and the activities of our everyday lives in such a way that no one will notice its presence”
— Adam Weiser
