sf design week 2013: the walls are listening - designing for the internet of things
DESCRIPTION
Connected devices and getting smaller, cheaper and embedded into our environments. Everyday objects - thermostats, door locks and parking meters are starting to connect to the Internet. They are always on and always ready to serve. Are we always ready to be observed and influenced? How will we design experiences that are distributed and constantly morphing? This new era of information access will require a new approach to user interface, user experience and digital service design. In this talk, we will survey how the Internet of Things are re-shaping our connected lives, how it will transform digital design, and designers' role in this new and exciting time.TRANSCRIPT

Current Limitations of RunKeeper and Pebble1. iPhone and Android users - Average speed is not available.
Therefore, you will only see average pace. Again, we're looking to add this option to a future build
2. International version users on metric system - Instead of a decimal or comma when displaying total distance or average pace, you will see a rectangle with a large X in the middle. It looks weird, we know, but should be fixed in a future release.
