My vision IoT = People + Things + Data The value of the Internet (of Things) increases the more computers people are connected. GERD KORTUEM | WWW.KORTUEM.COM | @KORTUEM | GERD@KORTUEM.COM | INTERNETOME 2010 LONDON | SLIDE 4 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS `

The future homo habilis How will our relationship to objects develop?

We need to develop new models and theories Human factors, interface design, user experience design, information design ... for connected objects.

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.

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.

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. www.gridpoint.com. www.tendrilinc.com. http://www.ecovisionsolutions.com.au/ GERD KORTUEM | WWW.KORTUEM.COM | @KORTUEM | GERD@KORTUEM.COM | INTERNETOME 2010 LONDON | SLIDE 16 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS `

An alternative approach Laptop energy management as example to follow Reduced interface Closing the lid Automatic energy management of all components User defined energy management preferences Energy management of individual components Disk spins down Cpu reduces speed Display reduces brightness GERD KORTUEM | WWW.KORTUEM.COM | @KORTUEM | GERD@KORTUEM.COM | INTERNETOME 2010 LONDON | SLIDE 17 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF COMPUTING 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 2. Information disclosure Unit with display was accepted, unit w/o display was perceived as surveillance technology. GERD KORTUEM | WWW.KORTUEM.COM | @KORTUEM | GERD@KORTUEM.COM | INTERNETOME 2010 LONDON | SLIDE 28 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF COMPUTING 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.

Global R&D agenda still mostly focuses on technology Not much about people or design for people in here ... Vision and Challenges for Realising the Internet of Things March 2010 Edited by Harald Sundmaeker Patrick Guillemin Peter Friess Sylvie Woelfflé The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.

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.
