Across the Spectrum: UX Meets IoT

by David Quimby and Lukas Johnson | at MinneBar 10

Aggregated computing becomes distributed computing... distributed computing becomes "hyper-distributed" computing. Monolithic content becomes granular content... granular content becomes hyper-granular content. As computing form factors march relentlessly from desktop / laptop to tablet, smartphone, and now the "Internet of Things", user interface paradigms respond accordingly.

Join us in exploring the transition between previous form factors / technology generations and extending the underlying principles of those transitions to IoT -- particularly human-scale IoT.

Hyper-distributed computing brings unique UX challenges / opportunities relative to other topologies
Human factors at human scale brings unique UX challenges / opportunities relative to other types of hyper-distributed computing

We'll present a case study of Adaptive Avenue -- an emerging hypermedia platform for automatic viewing of personalized Web content and an experiment in non-traditional media at human scale.

David Quimby

I practice systematic innovation, experimental design, and technology forecasting at Innovation Radiation. I'm a patented inventor in Web architecture and a published author in technical and social innovation. I advised an array of manufacturing and service industries on emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence as a technology analyst at Stanford Research Institute. I've intentionally wandered, explored, and discovered on six continents... I've climbed Mount Whitney; I've done trekking in Thailand, a photographic safari in Kenya, and sea kayaking in Alaska; I've traversed the U.S. and Canada by motorcycle.
