THE (IOT) REVOLUTION WILL
NOT BE TELEVISED
Why internet of things meetups are important
& what you can bring to a global conversation.

About
Director of designswarm a consultancy focusing
on strategy, policy and building communities in
the internet of things.
Former founder & CEO of Tinker London the first
distributor of the Arduino
Former partner of design partnership RIG London
The (IOT) Revolution Will Not Be Televised
What I will cover
A bit of history.
Why meeting is important.
Using what you have.
What is the Internet of Things?
A new generation of everyday objects which have
embedded connectivity and a digital component.
Human factors & ergonomics…
“The study of designing equipment and devices
that fit the body and its cognitive abilities”
Human Computer Interaction (1983)
“The study, planning, design & use of interaction
between people and computers ”
Interaction Design (1988)
“The practice of designing interactive digital
products, environments, systems & services”
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, CERN (1989)
“In practice, it is useful for the system to be aware
of the generic types of links between items […]
and the types of nodes (people, things,
documents) without imposing any limitations.”
Trojan Room Coffee Pot (1993-2001)
The world’s first webcam, using an Acorn
computer it allowed people across the building to
avoid pointless trips to the coffee room if there
was no coffee left.
Kevin Ashton (2001)
Kevin Ashton coined the term while at Auto-ID
Center at MIT meant it in the context of RFID.
Now it implies all the technologies that allow
products to be connected online. (wifi, GSM, BT,
radio,etc)
Early products (2005-)
Ambient Devices, Violet & Vitality were companies
that led the way early on in the US & France.
New Media Art & early wearables
Wearables at the time was a very academic &
artistic field where experiments were presented at
SIGGRAPH conference every year.
Arduino (2005)
An open source hardware and software electronics
learning tool. The starting point the Maker
movement.
Sparked a maker movement
And a whole industry…
…of inventors
The Arduino innovated by starting with arts &
design students who were making visually
appealing responsive objects. Later they would
connect them to the web and social media
platforms.
Boosted by crowdfunding
Incubators too
Makers turn into markets
Kati London at ITP designed Botanicalls in 2006.
Remote plant watering is everywhere
Connectivity requirements are
everywhere
SmartStones / Nivea armband
Fitness & health
Security
Glanceables
Education
Retail
Energy
Play
Build a story
Cook
Hardware

Connectivity

Battery life

Standards

Privacy

Security
But there are many challenges
And insurance products are coming
An unlikely fanbase for the Internet of Things are
insurance companies now building flexible,
responsive premiums.
The (IOT) Revolution Will Not Be Televised
User experience hell
“the warnings the devices emit — beeps that
become more persistent as the due date for the
loan payment approaches — are seen by some
borrowers as more degrading than helpful”
The London iot meetup
Started in November 2011 (40 members)
Now 3.2K members
1-2 monthly newsletters
1 meetup a month
2 showcases a year
The Importance of meeting
IOT is an unnatural meeting of different industries
& silos:
•  Product Design
•  User experiences
•  Manufacturing
•  Retail
•  Embedded software
•  Front end design
•  Big Data analytics
•  Startups
•  Academics
A diverse community
Map at designswarm.com/services/communities
Active collaborations
Kemuri is an elderly tracking device and founder
Leonard Anderson met his co-founders at the
meetup. He now has £25K of funding to
prototype the product further.
kemuri.co.uk
A place to get feedback
We don’t really document the meetups well. This
means startups get early feedback and learn to
answer hard questions.
A throw-away term
Internet of things might move on to become
connected devices but the opportunities,
challenges and need for a multi-disciplinary
approach are the same.
Consortiums
Locally-grown standards
The space for corporates is minimal
•  Incubators
•  Infrastructure
•  Device-based services
The space for startups is huge
The internet of things is only as valuable as its
applications. It’s like talking about electricity
without lightbulbs and toasters.
Invention of end-user applications that work, that
people want to integrate in their lives can only
really come from small groups of people willing to
quite their jobs and do something new.
Try things that work locally but think
globally.
Agricultural monitoring
Sports
Environmental monitoring
Consumer products
Local people I know (you know more
I’m sure)
