2R Bridging Media Information Architecture for Ubiquitous Ecologies Luca Rosati & Andrea Resmini

let's play a game of traveling

where does the journey start?

circa 1999

Mh. EuroIA in Copenhagen seems a laff riot. Going there http://www.flickr.com/photos/ihateyou/2905684780/ Meet James. He wants to travel

touch points or obstacles? process user experience whew! @#%! A totally scientific model, 2009

is this really a different experience ?

couldn't this be one single seamless process ?

circa 2019?

Meet Pranav. He wants to travel Pranav Mistry, Sixth Sense demo

He's going for it Pranav Mistry, Sixth Sense demo

Bruce Branit, World Builder

Pranav Mistry, Sixth Sense demo Being delayed

Then he has maps and memories Pranav Mistry, Sixth Sense demo

who designs all this?

this is a human-information interaction process

does IA have a role in this?

A as information moves to physical spaces IA is used to design the entire range of shared informational spaces, places, services, and processes

B IA becomes the connector between different media and different contexts and provides experiential continuity to products and services

a manifesto

1 information architectures become ecosystems

1 no artifact stands isolated. all artifacts are connected and related and have to be designed as part of one seamless user experience process

2 users become intermediaries

2 participants in these ecosystems actively produce and re-mediate content and meaning

3 static becomes dynamic

3 intermediaries makes them perpetually unfinished, perpetually changing, and perpetually open to further refinement and manipulation

4 dynamic becomes hybrid

4 the boundaries separating media and genres get thinner. all experiences become cross-media bridge-experiences across different environments

5 horizontal prevails over vertical

5 intermediaries push towards spontaneity, ephemeral structures of meaning, and constant change. correlation becomes predominant

6 product design becomes experience design

6 focus shifts from how to design single items to how to design experiences spanning processes

7 experiences become cross­media experiences

7 experiences bridge multiple connected media and environments into unitarian ubiquitous ecologies
