// START Mobile phones are stupid

// START

// START HERE What does sensing mean for mobile?

// START HERE How do people and devices communicate intent?

// START HERE A lot of this comes down to context

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT Context is the defining problem of the design of mobile devices

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT Let’s talk about situational context

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT Situational context = What’s going on around the device?

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT [pic of someone at a desktop]

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT Distraction? Interruption? Concurrency?

// SITUATIONAL CONTEXT

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Let’s talk about conversational context

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Situational context = What’s going on around the device?

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Conversational context = How do people and devices communicate intent?

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Versus

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Explicit & Declarative vs Implicit & Gestural

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Technological Making devices smarter about what’s going on by adding sensors.

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Social Making people smarter by adding information and cues that help them make better judgments.

// CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT Context Situational Conversational Technological Social

// TECHNOLOGICAL Let’s talk about the technological conversation

// TECHNOLOGICAL My phone doesn’t adapt its behaviour to my activity

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL The device augments its behaviour based on what’s going on

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL 1 x GPS 2 x Accelerometers 1 x Touch sensitive surface 2 x Proximity sensors 1 x Light sensor

// TECHNOLOGICAL Let’s talk about location sensors

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL This is about gestures, as well as information

// TECHNOLOGICAL Let’s talk about proximity sensors

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL Source: Elastic Space

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL Gestures allow for implicit interaction

// TECHNOLOGICAL Let’s talk about movement

// TECHNOLOGICAL Touch encourages more gesturing

// TECHNOLOGICAL

// TECHNOLOGICAL Sensors are allowing for implicit, gestural conversations between users and their devices

// RECAP Context Situational Conversational Technological Social

// SOCIAL

// SOCIAL Social context is being communicated, allowing for social judgement

// SOCIAL

// SOCIAL The communication of social context enables us to sense how to better interact with people

// SOCIAL It takes advantage of our great ability to be social sensors

// START HERE What does sensing mean for mobile?

// START HERE How do people and devices communicate intent?

// WRAP Sensors allow us to communicate implicitly with devices. Showing social information allows people to sense intelligently.
