ABOUT MEHELLO Bell Labs France Application Studio Pierrick Thébault Designer PhD candidate at Arts et Métiers Paristech I do research in service design, interactions techniques and user experience for smart objects and environments. COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

UBICOMPABOUT “We are trying to conceive a new way of thinking about computers in the world, one that takes into account the natural human environment and allows the computers themselves to vanish into the background.” Weiser, M., 1995. The computer for the 21st century. Scientific American, 272(3), 78–89. 5 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

UBICOMPRESEARCH Ambient Intelligence Smart environments Pervasive Computing Anything, anywhere, anytime Situated computing Context-aware systems Physical computing Tangible interfaces Internet of Things Smart objects Wearable computing Sentient computers Augmented senses A shared perception of the world 8 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT.

DESIGNING OBJECTS/SERVICESQUOTE “Information no longer needs to be the purpose of an object, but one of many qualities that enables it to be useful and desirable in ways that are more directly related to people’s wants and needs.” Kuniavsky, M. 2010. Smart things: ubiquitous computing user experience design. Morgan Kaufmann Publisher. 11 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

DESIGNING OBJECTS/SERVICESA SMALL DIFFERENCE •  Process information •  Do not process information Devices •  Direct connection Things •  Indirect connection id shortcuts Web labels history 12 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

DESIGNING OBJECTS/SERVICESRESEARCH QUESTIONS1 What objects should be augmented? ? What type of feature or capabilities should be2 added to objects? What human-object interactions3 should be designed? 14 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

DESIGNING OBJECTS/SERVICESA STUDY OF SERVICES’ IMPACT To avoid potential confusion and poor Shape Interactions acceptance, it is needed to carefully anticipate, evaluate and avoid potential conflicts, tensions and ambiguity brought about by the Services Relations services that are likely to augment our everyday objects. 15 COPYRIGHT © 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT.
