Ambient intelligence
By Jørgen Juul

Once apon a time when we were surfing

Thing have changed
Once apon a time when we were surfing

We are still surfing
..but now the web is
surfing us back

I am not talking about interference with peoples privacy.
That happen to, but that is a total different story

Our interaction constantly evolves the internet
Not theese guys
I am not talking about spyware or interfering with peoples privacy.
Creating ambient intelligence
That happens to, but that is a total different story

Online services are gettin more and more sofisticated
Sometimes we are not even aware that we are serviced

A modern GPS device doesnt just read sattelite directions
it can listen to other GPS
devices and learn from peoples
actual driving experiences

Today we all have easy access to unbelivable knowledge

A simple way to connect the analogue world to online services

30% of people in Japan use QR codesregularly

QR = Quick Response

Cell phones have eyes and ears

It is not that hard to imagine next steps of pattern recognision

Can we hide from face recognision?

We move towards ubiquitous computing (EveryWare)
Post-desktop human-computer interaction
Users simultaneously engaging various devices and systems, and not necessarily even being aware that they are doing so.

Surrounded by devices that communicate with each other

The revoulution in hand-held computing is happening right now
Thousands of services is waiting to be invented

Sometimes it can be hard to see it...

...though it is right in front of you.

The future will offer lots of chances to invent something new
Let’s grab them!
