#tft12: amber case
DESCRIPTION
Presentation for #TFT12: Location and the Future of the Interface In this presentation, Geoloqi founder Amber Case will highlight why developers of apps should look at what users want to do now, as well as what users want to do in the future, why social apps should try to mirror real-world relationships, why sharing should be about who you share with as well as how long you're sharing, and why developers should think about how to make apps "ambient" and require less user interaction.

What is an ambient application?

What is an ambient application?
" Processes occur in the background
" Data is pushed to the user
" User input can come in many forms, not just through keyboard input
slideshare.net/caseorganic @caseorganic
Information should be pushed to you
A robot working for you behind the scenes.
The more it knows about you the more it can do for you.
slideshare.net/caseorganic @caseorganic
Ambient user input
" User’s location
" Time of day
" Current speed (slow or fast?)
" Average speed over time (driving vs. walking)
" Prior actions (clicks, subscriptions
" User’s friends on another platform
