Fabio Sergio (frog design) - Singing The Body Electric @ Frontiers Of Intera...frog
Keynote by Fabio Sergio, Creative Director at frog design, at Frontiers of Interaction V in Rome. Fabio takes digital interaction physical and discusses how our body will become a terminal and node for communication. "that thing absorbing and beaming bits won’t be a device you’ll be wearing. it will be you".

What happens to our sense of self and to our behaviors when technology can extend and enhance our ability to sense and make sense of what's around us?
What happens when our nervous system ceases to be limited by the boundaries of our body, and extends into an artificial neural network of sorts we currently call the Internet?
What happens when our fallible memory is supported by tools that never forget our actions and decisions, tracked over extended periods of time?
There is something brewing at the intersection of design, technology and digitally-mediated social interactions that promises to reveal and make manifest the invisible cause-and-effect loops that tie our perceptions to our decisions and to our actions.
The result of giving visible and actionable substance to our otherwise invisible behavioral patterns will be a raised level of awareness about those very patterns, and thus an ability to reflect upon and ultimately change them, changing the world in return.
Healthcare Innovation Now: 3 themes and 10 insights.frog
frog’s Executive Creative Director Fabio Sergio builds a strong case at Mobile Health Industry Summit 2011 in Brussels about why healthcare solutions should be ecosystem-based and designed around people, not "just" patients.
Envisioning the Balance: The Dyanmic Role of Design in Entrepreneurshipfrog
What is the expanding role of design in entrepreneurship? What is the interplay between them? David Sherwin, an Interaction Design Director at frog, shares his personal take on this subject from a designer's point of view, with principles you can use to drive sustainable growth and beneficial cultural change within your businesses, as well as approaches for creating valuable new products, services and business models with your customers and communities. This talk was delivered on March 5 at Think Big Partners in Kansas City as part of Kansas City Design Week 2014.
This presentation was held by Fabio Sergio, Creative Director at global innovation firm frog design, at Media Futures 2009 conference in London. His story: In a world where media is global,
social, ubiquitous and cheap, all forms of entertainment are melding into
a single-platform ‘story engine’. Also, Fabio reviews "TV Chatter", frog design's new social TV application for the iPhone, based around Twitter (www.tvchatterapp.com).
Understanding human motivation_in_the_age_of_connected_machinesfrog
Solving large-scale, Industrial Internet problems has the potential of creating huge cost savings, new products, and market opportunities. However, beyond the technical challenges, understanding human motivations and values underpinned by the Internet of Things is difficult.
As data collection and connectivity grow exponentially, the interface to remote storage, analytics and connected systems become an inflection point through which potential value is delivered to end users and equipment operators thus, increasing the importance and value of how we interact with connected hardware.
Examples are shown of how the Industrial Internet of Things can unlock value propositions such as increased productivity, better analysis, and business intelligence by better understanding human motivation.

The 50-plus population in the United States consists of close to 100 million consumers. Between now and 2030, this demographic will expand by over 34%. Additionally, by 2030 roughly 1 in 5 Americans will be 65 years of age and older, for a total of 72 million seniors.
In general, we are living longer and with more health complications. Even so, most of us want nothing more than to remain in the company of our friends and loved ones, stay in places that are most familiar and comfortable to us, and maintain our mental and physical autonomy.
This presentation explores the transformative impact that great design and emerging technologies will have on creating sustainable, supportive, and connected communities for the aging population and those who care for them.
SXSW: Designing Smart Objects for Emotional Peoplefrog
Wearable technology, smart meters, and networked devices have generated an environment of abundant digital chatter. It’s now socially acceptable to compete with your FuelBand, send a text to your thermostat, and argue with Siri. Our eagerness to communicate with objects as we would a friend points to a new criterion for designing intelligent products. We want our technology to be smart, but also deeply personal. This presentation outlines the opportunities and risks associated with designing smart objects for emotional people. Through stories of emerging products and experimental research endeavors, it highlights the fine line designers must walk between enhancing the emotional intelligence of individuals, and replacing it.
Data is the fuel of the connected world, and aspects like value, trust, transparency and ultimately ownership have been a continuous source for debate. As our technical capabilities and our comfort with and within the connected world evolves, so does the conversation about our habits and practices around customer data. As a product strategy and design company that has been leading the industry for more than four decades, I believe that frog is in a good position to reflect forward.

“The modern city is becoming a pointer system, the new URL, for tomorrow’s hybrid digital–physical environment. Today's Facebook will be complemented by tomorrow's Placebook. Explosive innovation and adoption of computing, mobile devices, and rich sources of data are changing the cities in which we live, work, and play. It's about us, and how computing in the context of our cities is changing how we live. A digital landscape overlays our physical world and is expanding to offer ever-richer experiences that complement, and in emerging cases, replace the physical experience. In the meta–cities of the future, computing isn't just with us; it surrounds us, and it uses the context of our environment to empower us in more natural, yet powerful ways.”
Is This Progress? More Meaning in Our Digital Lifefrog
VP of Creative Paul Pugh moderated the panel "Is This Progress? More Meaning in Our Digital Life" at SXSW Interactive 2013.
IT advances have created a mass transformation comparable to the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. As we use digital tools to create new connections and experiences, what is the impact on our analog realities? Consider:
1. The collective memory of our online activities far exceeds our human capacity to remember; we struggle with information overload and privacy concerns instead of treasuring our digital legacy.
2. News is omnipresent yet more compartmentalized than ever, as we invent siloes to absorb the deluge of information. We traded newspapers for online news feeds, but are we better informed, or more myopic?
3. Both human relationships and physical artifacts are decamping for the cloud. Is a Facebook friend truly nurturing? Is digital music as interesting as a hard-earned vinyl collection?
frog Interaction Designer Jennifer Dunnam explores the farmers’ market, technology, and the future urban environment. Presented at the Food, the City, and Innovation Conference in Austin, Texas.
The next big disruption in lifelong learning will be by design. We are innately trained and poised to have a global impact on how other people can survive and thrive, whether they are designers or not. In this talk from AIGA Seattle's Into the Woods 2012 conference, David Sherwin points out opportunities and shares tools he's gathered to encourage people to be better critical thinkers and problem solvers, using the activity areas of the Collective Action Toolkit as a frame (which at the time was still a work in progress).
Yes, it’s already that transitional time when our current year ends and another begins, and today and tomorrow are quickly changing hands. Rather than look back at significant trends of the past 366 days (2012 was a leap year, remember?), we asked a wide variety of technologists, designers, and strategists across frog’s studios around the world to take a look to the future. The near future, that is. “Near” in that 2013 is not only upon us, but also “near” in that these technologies are highly feasible, commercially viable, and are bubbling up to the surface of the global zeitgeist. We believe you’ll be hearing a lot more about these trends within the next 12 months, and possibly be experiencing them in some form, too.
Here's our second annual list of Tech Trend predictions for the coming year. There are 20 individual forecasts and, new for 2013, we've also related each prediction to larger waves in business, culture, and innovation.
Know Thy User: The Role of Research in Great Interactive Designfrog
In this talk, David Sherwin from frog demystifies the role and use of research in the day-to-day work of an interactive designer. He draws on the collective knowledge of frog's design research practice and his own experience as a design research lead helping to coordinate teams in conducting U.S.-based and global research programs.
