James J. Gibson
Because objects and environments have certain characteristics,
people will behave accordingly to these characteristics:
Perception drives Action
That is why we can steer ‘the world’
as in the activities and experiences of men with the ‘things’ we develop…..
Herbert Marshall McLuhan
‘We become what we behold.
We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.’
13. 4 generations of computers
4 generations of interfaces
At the end, the interface
is the product: a stack of
layers with their functions
17. Emerging issues
1 we get short of materials and natural resources
2 we produce to much emissions
3 we use to much energy
4 we expect much of new (energy) technologies
In the meantime we seem short of ideas
•how to proceed with this know-how
•how to continu designing products, buildings and cities
18. Adding more heavy and more complex materials to
reduce energy consumption results in
Option 1
- more weight, more transport, more emissions etc,
- plus diminishing returns
19. Option 2
Generating our own, sustainable energy,
to reduce the energy bills, comes with a
too long return on investments
20. Start adding intelligence:
Option 3 > matching energy supply with the energy needs
> matching energy supply where the energy is needed
21. Internet of Things (IoT) Smart dust
Ambient intelligence
Ubiquitous computing
Swarm technology
22. Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of people (man-to-man)
Internet of services (man-to-machine)
Internet of things (things-to-things)
Interaction: matching supply and demand
Transformation: for information to operation
Not energy neutral, but …..
More energy efficient than man-to-machine interaction
“The most profound technologies are those that disappear.
They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it”
Mark Weiser, 1991
33. Elektronische producten willen terugkeren naar hun essentie.
Zodra je weet welk pad wordt afgelegd, welke stap in de spiraal zal worden gezet om een evolutie te versnellen, kun je ingrijpen.
