Stefan Verkerk created an iPhone app called iTypeFastR that replaces the keyboard to make typing faster with fewer typos. It has been installed on 250k devices. He ran the app company in his spare time after his day job. The app was initially tested with a small beta crowd who provided feedback that was used to improve the product. Although the market for jailbroken iPhones is smaller, it is easier to gain attention and downloads in the jailbroken app store compared to Apple's app store. Stefan learned that he needs to adapt the app based on user reaction and ride trends like new iOS releases and jailbreaks. He also should have invested more resources to transition the app once he reached a large number of
The document discusses information as a material for design. It notes that modern microcontrollers are inexpensive, powerful, and can automatically sense the world, act autonomously, remember, repeat tasks exactly, and communicate. This allows the creation of complex behaviors. The document then discusses using information and microcontrollers as materials for object-oriented hardware designs, smart things that interact with the physical world, and information being used for decoration, heirloom electronics, service avatars, and intelligent environments. It concludes by stating that all design involves negotiation with materials.
The document discusses how life has become increasingly impermanent due to advances in technology and connectivity. It explores how a trend of impermanence creates opportunities in spaces, transit, utilities, involvement and transactions. Examples of emerging technologies that enable impermanence are mentioned like location-based services that allow people to offer rides or items for transportation. The document advocates that entrepreneurs should discover and collaborate on opportunities in a world defined by constant change and impermanence.
Jaiku - Microblogging Tiny Social Objects On The Future Of Participatory MediaMobile Monday Amsterdam
油
This document discusses the future of participatory media and microblogging. It contains a presentation with three parts: 1) the case for social objects, 2) five principles for building services around social objects, and 3) the presenter's view on the next wave of participatory media. The presentation argues that successful sites are built around social objects like photos, bookmarks, or books. It outlines five principles for developing services centered on social objects: defining the object and verbs, making objects shareable, turning invitations into gifts, and charging publishers not spectators. The presenter proposes that microblogging and real-time updates about people's availability, locations, plans could disrupt blogs by being simpler, cheaper and freeing people from
Mobile phones, in combination with a computer locator system, can improve the response times of emergency medical services by allowing quicker contact with ambulances. Text messages have also been used to improve treatment times by allowing medical staff to communicate instructions. Mobile phone cameras combined with microscopes can be used to capture and transmit medical images over long distances, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment in areas without access to specialized doctors.

1) Space can provide meaningful experiences and interactions when used actively through various verbs and relationships.
2) Augmented reality can add new interactions and meanings to physical spaces by allowing users to attach comments, polls, art, and other virtual layers.
3) This shifts spaces from passive consumption ("dream space") to more active use, potentially democratizing spaces and increasing collective understanding.
This document discusses understanding life and changing the course of cancer. It references a "Cancer Roadmap" and encourages working together to blow against the wind and change its course, suggesting collective effort can alter the trajectory of cancer.
This talk discusses how to design social media applications that become ubiquitous platforms for sharing intentions. It is divided into three parts: 1) becoming an obligatory passage point through which information must pass, 2) designing translations between technologies and user actions, and 3) making user-generated content meaningful. The talk suggests that combining mobile touch interfaces, structured sharing of user intentions, and real-time notifications could create a new type of disruptive social application focused on simplifying, gamifying and enhancing sharing of users' plans and goals.
The document appears to be a presentation given by the author in Amsterdam with no preparation. It consists of a series of brief, cryptic statements and titles that seem to reference augmenting and enhancing reality through technology like machines that fly, as well as perspectives on keeping human perception unchanged. The overall content is unclear and ranges widely in time periods referenced from the early 20th century to the present.

Physiological, psychological, and cognitive effects of sound can impact open plan office productivity. Research shows that 66% of decision making is emotional. For audio advertising, brand voices should consider gender, age, register, pitch, intonation, timbre, pace, and emotional tone to engage listeners emotionally rather than just rationally. Effective audio considers intrusion versus permission and resistance versus engagement of listeners.
The document discusses Shuffler, an audio magazine made by music blogs that allows users to channel surf through thousands of music blogs without having to browse them individually. It aggregates content from blogs that act as DJs, filtering and curating music discoveries and adding context. Shuffler has received over 10 million visits and 100 million page views, and the document pitches the service and its ability to explore and discover new music through blog recommendations.
The document compares the costs of traditional music production hardware and software from the past to current lower-cost mobile app alternatives. It notes that guitar tuners, amplifiers, drum machines, synthesizers, vocal effects, recording equipment, editing suites, sequencers, DJ equipment, and full studios that previously cost hundreds or thousands can now be accessed through affordable mobile apps, making it easier than ever for people to start making music without expensive equipment.
The document discusses how music data is complex, containing a variety of information like auditory spectrograms, segmentation, pitch features, timbre features, tempo spectra, and more. It also mentions how the music industry watches and makes decisions from this data, and how a 5MB song can unpack 100MB of information about itself. Developers are said to be the future of music.
This document discusses how to tell interactive stories across mobile and physical locations by blurring the lines between real life and gameplay. It recommends using techniques like location-based interactions, augmented reality, SMS, and discomfort to draw in audiences. The key aspects of an interactive narrative are finding the core audience's interests, introducing an enticing hook, making the story feel real, providing calls to action, including villains and climactic moments, and culminating in a thrilling finale. Interactive stories can take audiences on breathless chases across real world locations.
This document profiles Yuri van Geest and his work in several areas of mobile technology including neurotech, health, artificial intelligence, and more. It outlines some of his past roles and projects, including live demos of mobile neurotechnology for word recognition, translation, and visual computing. It then summarizes several of his current mobile implementation projects related to ecommerce, travel, advertising, learning, health, and media. Finally, it poses three questions about the impact of mobile technology on the brain, bodily awareness, and exponential technologies versus social cohesion.
The document introduces Shadow Cities, a new social media project by Ville Vesterinen that allows users to share experiences and memories tied to specific locations within cities. It is still in early development but aims to help new social connections form around shared places and highlight the unique character of different neighborhoods and communities. Users are invited to dream about the kind of city they would like to see.
The document discusses privacy concerns in an age where vast amounts of personal data are collected and stored in databases. It focuses on how smartphones generate huge amounts of data about users' physical locations, contacts, activities and habits through their sensors and uploading of usage logs. It argues that a "smart solution" is needed based on privacy by design principles that ensure transparency about how data is collected and used, anonymity of users, and user control over their own data.
This 3-point article provides recommendations for improving data: 1) prioritize transparency by putting the data source first, 2) outsource scaling to focus on responsibility, and 3) play with the data and allow for mistakes to drive learning. The author concludes by thanking the reader and providing contact information.
The document discusses the rising tide of data being generated from various sources and how data combined with processing can produce useful and interesting insights. It notes that everything creates data, questions where the data goes, and who uses it. Commonalities across sources of data like Fitbit and social networks include their digital nature and reliance on networks to function.
This document discusses Timo Arnall and his work exploring embodied interaction and unconscious gestures through technology. It provides biographical information on Arnall, links to some of his projects on Vimeo exploring concepts like using gestures to control devices, and links to his professional websites and social media profiles where more of his work can be found. The document examines both short and long term uses of embodied interaction techniques.
This document discusses design in the product lifecycle from concept to launch and beyond. It outlines the stages of concept work, fleshing out designs with sketches and wires, bridging any gaps, and validating work after launch. It notes challenges like churn from overlapping design and development and understanding customer expectations. The document provides lessons on starting well to set the tone, collaborating throughout, pursuing the right design fidelity, communicating the vision strongly, and narrowing all gaps.
Three design methods plus a bonus:
1. Envisioning involves imagining the context and scoping ideas to focus on the essentials.
2. Prototyping early, even with low-tech methods, helps test if ideas will work in practice.
3. A bonus method is using design patterns, which allow borrowing and recombining existing interface solutions.
