The document discusses how rapid technological disruption and the democratization of knowledge through the Internet have challenged traditional models of design, business, and control over products and ideas. It argues that successful design going forward will require flexibility, simplicity, enabling user customization and experiences rather than strictly defined products, and building platforms that can evolve beyond their original contexts. Complexity and interdependence may no longer confer advantages if they limit responsiveness to constant change.

The document discusses responsive web design and some of the challenges it faces. It recommends adopting a mobile first approach where the mobile styles are defined first before desktop styles, allowing for a progressive enhancement. It also emphasizes the importance of performance and ensuring responsive designs are not just focused on layout but also on optimizing for speed. Key techniques discussed include building mobile first, reordering media queries, keeping basic styles outside queries, and scoping images within media queries to avoid unnecessary downloads.

The document discusses the need for ubiquitous and holistic information architecture across channels to create integrated experiences for users. It notes that information is blurring the lines between digital and physical experiences, and that users expect consistency as they transition between platforms. To meet these expectations, information architecture must be designed holistically rather than by channel, and must focus on the overall user journey rather than individual touchpoints. Bridges between experiences like on-ramps and off-ramps are needed to make information architecture truly integrated.

The document provides details on various designs for mobility aids and crutches. It includes classifications for different types of crutches from the US Patent Classification system, including crutches that have pivoting or non-pivoting movement, curved or straight bases, means for grasping objects, and those that can convert between arm and forearm models or between crutch and cane. It also notes classifications for crutch tips, shock absorbers, arrangements for storing crutches, and wheeled walking aids. The document gives an overview of different categories and sub-categories of mobility aid designs.

This document summarizes Carol Skyring's presentation on emerging trends in learning. She discusses how learning is becoming more social, collaborative, personalized and visual. New tools like social media, virtual worlds, and mobile devices are enabling more personalized and self-directed learning anytime, anywhere through personal learning networks. Future learning will blend virtual and real-world experiences using augmented reality and location-based technologies. Learning management systems are also evolving to incorporate richer media, social features and collaborative capabilities in secure online environments.

The document discusses device agnostic design, which aims to create content that can be accessed and displayed well on any device. It emphasizes building with reusable modular components rather than bespoke designs for each device. The key aspects are understanding content stacking strategies across screens, using content-based rather than device-based breakpoints, and designing interactive elements that work for both touch and non-touch interfaces. The goal is to provide users with a continuous experience regardless of the device they use.

This document discusses Google Glass and the future of wearable technology. It begins with an overview of the shift towards an "era of context" driven by sensors and ubiquitous connectivity. It then provides details on Google Glass, including its hardware specifications, main functions, and architecture. Several use cases for Glass are presented, such as augmented reality applications, Google Now cards, navigation, and enterprise solutions. The document concludes with a discussion of expected future developments and challenges for wearable devices like improved versions of Glass and addressing privacy and security issues.

A brief exploration of proposed Level 4 Media Queries and some thoughts about the future of the web. Presented at Responsive Day Out in Brighton on June 27 2014.

It took 16 years for smartphone penetration to reach 1 billion people. Analysts believe it will take only 3 years to reach the next billion. The devices these consumers buy will be incredibly diverse, yet many will run on Android; a platform that now sees more than 1.5 million activations per day. In this presentation, we explore the fascinating rise of Android around the globe. From dual SIM phones in Indonesia, to dual screen e-ink devices in Russia and crowd-sourced platform modifications in China, we will discover the role open source has played in Android's popularity and how to design for such a diverse environment.

Today’s 'smart devices' are a product of the technology and mental models of our past. From a connected lightbulb to a robot vacuum, using most of these devices requires a native app. This in turn greatly limits their contexts of use. Can we really expect users to download an app to interact with a random ’thing’ they encounter at the mall, a space they explore for an hour at the museum, or a city they will only visit for a day? What devices could we build, what 'smart' environments could we enable if users could simply discover, “walk up and use”(and then if needed, abandon) these objects and environments as they do a web site? This workshop will discuss two new technologies--Physical Web and Web Bluetooth--that can enable on-demand interaction with physical things and spaces using no more than a browser.

Presentation by Stephanie Rieger of Yiibu at the MobX Conference in Berlin, Germany November 17, 2012.

If your job is to make things for the web, and the company you work for doesn’t build fitness trackers, or robots, or smart light bulbs, or a cloud service that aims to connect all these things, you could be forgiven for not caring all that much about today's Internet of Things. My aim with this talk is to shift the conversation away from things and back to people. In doing so, I hope to also arm you with tools to better understand, and find your place, within this complex but fascinating landscape. First presented at Generate Conference in San Francisco on July 15, 2016.

The document discusses the current state of conversational interfaces such as chatbots and voice assistants, noting that while early versions were limited, recent advances in artificial intelligence, data availability, and user expectations have created new opportunities for conversational interfaces to become more useful. However, conversational interfaces still have limitations and work best when focused on simple, well-defined tasks rather than attempting to replace more complex interactions or functions better suited to humans. Designing effective conversational interfaces requires keeping interactions simple, clearly setting user expectations, and in some cases, involving human assistance.

The web was first conceived 25 years ago, by an Englishman. Fifteen years later, as the first crop of dot.coms were going bust, close to 60% of its users (and all Alexa "top 20" sites) came from developed nations. Fast forward to today, and the picture is strikingly different. Almost half the Alexa "top 20" now comes from emerging economies. Economies where close to 3 billion people have yet to use the web, but thanks to mobile--won't have to wait much longer to discover it. This presentation will introduce you to fascinating and innovative services that are re-shaping the web to serve the consumers of tomorrow. Driven by mobile, the power of personal relationships, and the breakneck pace of globalisation, these services provide a glimpse into the business models, opportunities and challenges we will face, when growing a truly global web.

New sensor based Web Standards developments have punched a hole in the web that is letting the real world leak into the browser. The getUserMedia API now lets us access cameras and microphones and JSARToolkit and javascript based Natural Feature Tracking like the examples from ICG Graz University have shown that browsers can now be taught to perceive the world around them. Combine this with the <canvas> and WebGL and you have a real working model for a Web Standards based Augmented Reality. On top of this we also have OGCs Sensor Web Enablement and new developments like the Sensor API and the rapid spread of networked sensors and wireless Arduino-ised devices. Massively distributed dynamic immersive visualisation is now the new structural form for the modern web.

The document discusses mobile trends and how businesses can develop mobile strategies. It notes that over 1.7 billion people use internet on PCs while over 4.1 billion use mobile phones. Further, over 1 million iPhones have been sold in Australia in less than 2 years and iPhone users frequently upgrade the operating system. The document suggests that the key difference mobile brings is context, contact and community and asks how these mobile trends impact a business' model and value chain. It recommends that a mobile strategy focus on context, contact and community.

This presentation at Web Directions South 2007 captures the screens from an interactive poll held during the presentation. 67 people in the audience joined in and a dynamic profile of their phones, browsers, operating system and network providers is also include. A more involved analysis of the results will be available soon...

This is a presentation I did for a group of 15 supervisors. It is an interactive training session which requires an experienced facilitator. It is a great way to present generational differences using input from the group you are training. You can send the survey to participants in advance and add your company's demographics to the presentation to make it even more effective

The document discusses how the internet and mobile technology have become integrated into everyday life. Key points include: - The internet is no longer an activity confined to desktop computers, but something that people access constantly through mobile devices. - There are now over 5 billion mobile subscribers globally, and mobile phones are becoming as powerful as computers were a few years ago. - People use their mobile devices to engage in many activities like chatting, scheduling, shopping, and following up on things looked up on other devices. - Mobile internet usage is shifting from just short activities to complementing and facilitating longer tasks like research, transactions, and important decisions.

Mobile internet access is becoming ubiquitous, with over 1.3 billion people now using their mobile devices to access the internet. Context for how the internet is accessed has changed dramatically, with people now commonly using their phones, tablets, and other devices to engage in many online activities both brief and extended. This has disrupted traditional models of web design which focused on desktop access with predictable contexts. A new approach is needed to create engaging mobile content in this environment of tremendous diversity and unpredictability.

The document discusses how the context in which mobile devices are used has become increasingly complex and unpredictable. Guidelines from a few years ago around mobile design being context-driven are now outdated, as mobile and Internet-connected devices have proliferated and their uses have diversified. Over 5 billion people now own mobile devices, which for many are their primary or only means of Internet access. This shift has dramatically changed user behavior and expectations.

Slides from my Device Agnostic Design talk at UCD London http://2014.ucduk.org/session/device-agnostic-design-how-to-get-your-content-to-go-anywhere/ ABSTRACT: There was a time when we did glossy page designs and when those designs were pretty much what we saw in our desktop browsers. With the introduction and rise of smartphones, tablets, phablets there isn’t one view of our designs anymore. Instead, what we create needs to be able to adapt in a way that is suitable for the device as well as where and how it’s being used. With responsive design we’ve learnt the basics of how to adapt content, interactions and layouts so that it works across devices. But with further developments in technology and screens, our content is going to go anywhere. As a result we need to move away from designing for specific devices to solutions that are device agnostic. For us as UX designers this means means letting content rather than devices guide layouts, and also increasingly moving away from designing and wireframing pages to focusing on the modules that those views are made up of. But there are other aspects to consider in device agnostic design. In this talk I walk through why device agnostic design matters, what it means and how we go about it.

The document discusses how rapid technological disruption and the democratization of knowledge through the Internet have challenged traditional models of design, production and consumption. It notes that users can now easily adapt, improve and compete with products in ways that were previously impossible. As a result, the most successful designs going forward may be those that are simple, flexible and enable users to create their own experiences, rather than fully defining the experience themselves. Complex, tightly controlled systems may be more vulnerable to abrupt changes, so the best designs will set the stage for users but not dictate every aspect of the experience.

This document discusses cross-channel experience design. It begins by asking who the audience members are and what they hope to learn. It then discusses some key principles of cross-channel design such as providing a consistent, convenient, connected, and contextual experience across different channels over time. The document provides examples of both good and bad cross-channel experiences. It concludes by outlining five methods for designing cross-channel experiences, such as thinking in terms of services rather than individual channels, sharing resources between teams, starting with small experiments, embracing challenges, and focusing on why changes are being made rather than just what is being changed.

This document discusses cross-channel experience design. It begins by asking who the audience members are and what they hope to learn. It then discusses some of the key challenges of designing experiences across multiple channels like websites, mobile apps, physical stores, etc. The document presents five principles for cross-channel design: providing a consistent experience, making the experience convenient across channels, ensuring transitions between channels are connected, tailoring the experience to the user's current context, and designing experiences that span time across different touchpoints. It concludes by offering five methods for approaching cross-channel design, such as thinking in terms of services rather than individual channels, collaborating across organizational boundaries, testing designs by observing user behaviors, being comfortable with ambiguity and iteration

Slides 18-66 used in prior presentations, slides 77-160 largely from other presentations, but a few new examples.

The document describes the need for designing cross-channel experiences that are consistent, convenient, connected, contextual, and span different touchpoints and times. It discusses examples of both good and bad cross-channel experiences, and outlines five principles for designing holistic experiences. Tools mentioned for mapping cross-channel experiences include stakeholder interviews, field research, touchpoint matrices, service inventories, and experience maps. The overall message is that users interact with brands through many different channels, so the design must consider the entire experience across all touchpoints.

The document discusses designing holistic experiences that span both digital and physical channels. It recommends designing for the "space between" interactions by considering the full customer journey. Five principles are outlined for cross-channel design: convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and cross-time. Five methods and tools are also presented: thinking in terms of services; sharing design work; starting with observations; embracing discomfort; and focusing on customer needs over specific solutions. The overall message is that customers experience brands through all touchpoints, so design must consider the integrated experience.

1) Cognitive computing systems learn from interactions with people and data to perform tasks like thinking and making complex decisions with large amounts of information. 2) These systems will change how people interact with technology and require new skills like designing systems that can learn to solve problems and access necessary data. 3) Cognitive computing will be highly disruptive and enable new combinations of human and computer intelligence beyond what either could do alone.

The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web. The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.

The document discusses that the value of technology is not just about apps, but how people configure platforms and connect them together in new ways to solve specific problems. It notes that niche user groups can deliver more value than mass production models. Structuring configurations can help with re-use while still allowing for expression. The most important things are learning from each other and sharing stories of both success and failure.

An overview of the current state of Mobile UX, presented to attendees of Flash Camp Manchester by Jerome and Antony from Ribot

Cross-channel design aims to provide a seamless experience for customers across digital and physical touchpoints. The document discusses the need for designing experiences that are convenient, connected, consistent, and contextual across channels over time. It provides five principles and five methods for cross-channel design, including thinking in terms of services, sharing design processes, starting with small experiments, embracing discomfort, and focusing on customer needs over specific solutions. Discovery activities like interviews, research, and experience mapping are recommended to understand the current customer journey. Solution techniques include mental models, storytelling, service blueprints, and touchpoint matrices to holistically design experiences across channels.

The document discusses designing cross-channel experiences. It recommends designing for the holistic customer experience across channels rather than any single channel. It provides 5 principles for cross-channel design including convenience, consistency, and experiences that span time. It also offers 5 methods like thinking in terms of customer services and 5 tools including documenting experiences and experience mapping. The document advocates letting customers' experiences guide design rather than technology or design disciplines.

The document discusses how responsive design begins on the server by adapting to different devices. It notes that as more devices have become capable of accessing the web, including lower-cost smartphones and basic phones, the definition of what constitutes a "smartphone" has expanded. It argues that while there is diversity in mobile devices, many lower-end devices still provide web access and basic smartphone functionality at an affordable price for many users.

The document discusses designing cross-channel experiences. It begins by explaining that customers experience brands across multiple touchpoints and channels, both digital and physical. The key is to design experiences that are convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and span across time. The document then provides five principles and five methods for cross-channel design. The principles are to make experiences convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and spanning across time. The methods are to think in terms of services, share design work across teams, start by observing customer behaviors, be comfortable with ambiguity, and focus on customer needs rather than specific solutions. Finally, the document discusses various discovery and solution activities for cross-channel design, such as stakeholder interviews

The document discusses designing experiences for multiple devices. It notes that users now own and switch between multiple devices throughout the day, from phones to tablets to wearables. As such, designers must consider how to provide equal, continuous experiences across different platforms and prioritize building modular content that can be adapted for any device or input method. Navigation and usability must work seamlessly regardless of screen size or input type.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html
