Thanks to mobile, 3 billion of us are now connected, and the web remains the best platform to reach all of us.

Monday, 4:09 pm
Thanks to mobile, 3 billion of us are now connected, and the web remains the best platform to reach all of us.
Monday, 4:09 pm
So today i’m hoping to get you thinking about the massive opportunity that lies at the intersection of mobile, the web and the physical world.

yet when I speak to people who make things
for the web…
for illustrative purposes only…
http://mattturck.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Internet-of-Things-2016.png
few are able to situate themselves within
its already massive ecosystem
https://www.flickr.com/photos/smithwithclass/25633623906
because IoT touches so many ‘things’, we've all
developed our own definitions and mental models…
which only rarely touch the web.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/developersteve/24055957073/
it’s also still rare to find a web interface that enables us to inspect or meaningfully control…

part of this has been down to technology gaps, and the
good news is that many of these barriers are about
to fall away…

technology gaps are however rarely the only reason technologies get stuck…
to better understand what else may be holding IoT back, let’s take a brief journey into the past…
Courtesy Xerox PARC
“UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING”
1998, MARC WEISER, Xerox PARC
https://www.flickr.com/photos/aigle_dore/18594191701
a networked world of millions of connected objects that collect and spit out
data that we (or other objects)may then act upon…
there’s a parallel here with the early days of
mobile, because it’s pretty easy to fixate on
the ‘device’ part…
precious…
but ubiquitous computing was never really meant to be about devices… it was about people
https://www.flickr.com/photos/jamescridland/613445810/
Ubiquitous computing is roughly the opposite of virtual reality. Where virtual reality puts people inside a computer-generated world, ubiquitous computing forces the computer to live out here in the world with people. —Marc Weiser
(still working on text)
although crude by today’s standards, we can see fragments of this in the very first ‘ubicomp’ experiments…
TOASTER + SWITCH + TCP/IP John Romkey, Simon Hackett,1990
JOHN ROMKEY’S INTERNET TOASTER a Sunbeam Deluxe Automatic Radiant
Control Toaster whose ‘on’ switch could be controlled using the internet
WEBCAM + COFFEE POT + TCP/IP Quentin Stafford-Fraser, Paul Jardetzky
1991
TROJAN ROOM COFFEE POT a webcam pointed at the pot provided a live 128×128px greyscale picture that helped people working in other parts of the building avoid pointless trips for coffee
DANGLING STRING a ‘calm technology’ object that used sound and movement to provide an
ambient representation of the office’s ethernet traffic
8FT PLASTIC SPAGHETTI + MOTOR Natalie Jeremijenko 1995
*Romkey also co-created TCP/IP, so we really shouldn’t complain :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/matoken/4681959147
Romkey’s toaster was a toy*, a way to ask the question: “Can we connect this to the internet?” - it was more about the thing, and less about the people who used it…
https://www.flickr.com/photos/macrj/7220740276/
the other two experiments, asked questions that were far less well defined, but fundamentally more important…
“Romkey’s toaster was clever, a technical triumph that took something analogue and made it digital and widely connected. But the Trojan Room Coffee Pot was useful.
It was useful because it understood that all physical spaces and almost all appliances and devices in the world are social, are shared and that fundamentally, above everything else, they have to operate in a world full of humans. ”

IoT promises to usher in a healthier, more productive, efficient, and
(hopefully) happier world
right now however IoT appears just about ready to fall off a cliff…
especially at the
consumer levelIoT is here

I believe part of the reason for this, is that while the value of industrial IoT is often clear…

Internet of Things values & opportunities?
immediate ✓
inclusive ✓
user driven ✓
serendipitous ✓
ephemeral ✓
extensible ✓
unobtrusive ✓
I’m not suggesting that current IoT products don’t espouse these values… but I do know that many of them come for free when you create experiences using the web
https://www.flickr.com/photos/lesardevelopment/9520725490/
https://www.flickr.com/photos/mwichary/3645906412
and as it happens, a growing number of technologies are converging that could enable us to embed these values into the way we think and build for IoT
PHYSICAL WEB enables you to see a list of
URLs being broadcast by objects in the environment
around you
Physical Web https://google.github.io/physical-web

the beacon a thing that broadcasts a URL
the specifications for all of these parts is open source.
the scanner (browser) a thing that scans for, retrieves, and
displays the list of nearby URLs
the physical web is pretty simple —it has two parts
*this beacon is made by Estimote but there are many other brands available
intermittently active Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio transmitter**
tiny, long-life (~2yrs) battery or
other power source
*many* sizes and form factors
today's beacons are tiny objects that you stick on a wall…
**mDNS and wi-fi direct support are also being considered

Permanently broadcasts “I love you”…
Turn me off from a distance.
Change my colour!
Understand how I work and where to recycle me…
Check what materials I’m made of when Craigslisting…
but in the near future, the ability to broadcast URLs may also
be embedded into all sorts of ‘smart’ things around us
the job of the beacon…
https://shortURL.io
is to broadcast a URL at regular intervals…
…which a user’s browser grabs, and displays in a list* with other nearby beacons whenever the user requests it *…it also runs the URL through a proxy to protect the user from spam and mask their presence until they choose to directly interact with a URL
https://shortURL.io
https://webPage.io
the user is then free to follow any of the links… …and then?
https://webPage.io
…that’s technically it. All subsequent interactions between the user and site take place on the web

any (web) technology can inhabit one of those layers but the camera API, service workers, web notifications, webRTC, progressive web apps and webVR/AR feel most promising as materials…

the physical web can also be used to expose and enable interactions with physical things…
interactions that are equally serendipitous, and ephemeral,
but can be enjoyed beyond the screen…
