pervasive computing : you're already knee deep in it
DESCRIPTION
Presentation for Web Directions South 2009 on Pervasive Computing that outlines 5 key metrics that can be used to measure how pervasive computing is collapsing your sense of space. These measurements can be used to define and refine specific elements of a business model to make your operating and distribution platforms more pervasive.TRANSCRIPT

Pervasive ComputingSpace is collapsing
What does Pervasive mean?
What is Space?What is space?What is space?
"The Internet revolution has barely started," says Weiser. "It won't be done until everything is on the Web. Light switches, y g g ,pagers, copiers, printers, as well as PCs, benefit from Web connections.“

1. Distance between your devices & the network
1. Distance between your devices & the network
2. Time taken to connect & share
3. Distance between you and your devices
3. Distance between you and your devices
3. Distance between you and your devices
3. Distance between you and your devices
4. Number of steps between thought & action (activity)
5. Cost of each of these
Space is collapsing
Example 1. your mail
Example 2. sharing information
Example 3. sharing video
Nokia Series 40 phonesI i ll thi i th t h iIronically this is the most common phone in the world – yet it requires a ridiculous 4 steps:1. Select "Options”2. Select “Use detail”3. Select “Web address”4 Select “Go to"4. Select Go to
Nokia Series 60 phonesThis user experience is significantly more complex and requires at least 3 steps:1 Highlight the link1. Highlight the link2. Select "Options”3. Select “Open link"
Sony EricssonThis interface is slightly more complex andThis interface is slightly more complex and requires at least 2 steps:1. Highlight link2. Select "Open"
iPhone and Windows MobileiPhone and Windows MobileThis type of “direct manipulation” interface couldn't be simpler. This requires only 1 step:1. Tap the link
Example 4. opening a link on a mobile
The Business Model – Alex Osterwalder
The Business Model – MOB
Activity theory & distributed cognition
Design it into your model from the ground up
Example 1. mobile dashboards
Example 2. user engagement
Example 3. APIs and Open Data
Pervasive ComputingSpace is collapsing
What will the future hold?
In 1962 Morton L. Heilig created VR
In 1965 Ivan Sutherland created HMD
In 1992 Tom Caudell coined the term AR
Since then AR has slowly been building
And now it is exploding
Computer Vision is growing too
Consumer eyeware collapses space
And that will collapse even further
Multiple perspectives will spread too...
Pervasive ComputingSpace is collapsing
NOW!
