IoT = People+ Things + Data
The value of the Internet (of Things)
increases the more computers
people are connected.

Case 1: Interaction Design
What is wrong with energy meters?
11

AND COMMUNICATIONS

Influence, persuade, nudge.
Feedback loops

`
Unanticipated effects
After being told that they used more
energy than their neighbours,
republicans who showed no
practical interest in environmental
causes increased electricity use by
0.75 per cent.
Average electricity reduction was 2.5%.
Dora L. Costa, Matthew E. Kahn. (2010) Energy Conservation "Nudges" and Environmentalist
Ideology: Evidence from a Randomized Residential Electricity Field Experiment. NBER Working
Paper No. 15939, May 7, 2010. National Bureau of Economic Research, 1050 Massachusetts Ave.,
Cambridge, MA.

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
50% of my Ph.D. students could not
install the energy meters at their
home.
Too much focus on product use, not
enough focus on the rest of the
product lifecycle.
14

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
Maintaining interest
Effects may fade over time.
“The results show that the initial
savings in electricity consumption
of 7.8% after 4 months could not be
sustained in the medium- to long-
term”
van Dam, S. S., Bakker, C. A., van Hal, J. D. M. Home energy monitors: impact over the
medium-term. Building Research & Information. 2010, vol 38, issue 5, pp. 458-469.

`
Do we need more screens? Trend to more complexity.
“Energy dashboards” and “home
“energy management systems”
instead of simple controls.

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
Lesson
Not everything that looks like a
feedback loop should be designed as
such.
Tangible controls vs generic screen-
based control.
Deep modifications may be required
to get interaction right.

Issue 1. Self-Image and social pressure
Safety equipment often not used
27

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
Issue 2. Information disclosure
Unit with display was accepted, unit
w/o display was perceived as
surveillance technology.
28

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
Issue 3. Information accountability
There can be too much information.
If a job needs to get done nobody
(management, worker) wants to
know that someone is over the
exposure limit.

Issue 4. Unexpected social feedback loops
Operators as source of expertise and
drivers of behavioural change.

Vision and Challenges
for Realising the
Internet of Things

The meaning of things
lies not in the things
themselves, but in our
attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

AND COMMUNICATIONS
`
Conclusion
1. Homo habilis: our relation to future smart
objects yet undefined (user, operator, ...).
2. IoT Design for people requires more than
adding a thin interface layer; requires deep
modification of IoT concepts, architectures,
etc...
3. Current industry (and research) agenda ignores
interaction design and information design for
the IoT.
4. Ecosystem design: new design methodologies
and design tools are needed for defining our
interaction (with ecosystems of) smart
connected objects.
