June 2016 Digital Humanities Hub CAKE slidesAndrew Thomas
These slides are from a short presentation I did at an event for arts and humanities stakeholders at a CAKE event, at the Digital Humanities Hub on the University of Birmingham campus (http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/digitalhumanitieshub/index.aspx). It was about using web technologies to easily create digital landscapes that can be widely shared, widely engaging, fully inclusive, and fun. One of the interesting aspects I wanted to get over is that web-based landscapes open up new ways for humanities practitioners and technical developers to collaborate in creating real-world and conceptual digital landscapes.

Lightning talk given at 2010 ESRI Developer Meetup in Fort Collins, CO. Discusses disruptive technology in the age of Google and possible GIS developer responses to disruption
Rachel Sibley, VP, Product Marketing, Leap Motion
A talk from Inspire Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017.
In an age of information, attention our scarcest resource. If storytelling is the art of navigating (your user’s) attention, then the rise of VR—a fundamentally new storytelling medium—is a powerful opportunity for resource management. VR is poised to revolutionize business, entertainment, education, healthcare, and more. Still, the devices that power these experiences have yet to coalesce around an optimal user experience, and VR content creation remains nascent. How do we capitalize on the potential of VR? Where do we look to understand this new media paradigm? In this talk, I’ll share insights based on my expertise as an executive leading the charge of new interaction paradigms; data from 200,00 developers worldwide who actively build embodied VR experiences; and a decade of experience as a professional dancer, choreographer, and performer.

Massive Interactive needs to purchase 10 laptop computers for their design and animation staff to use for work, with a $30,000 budget. They will determine the most suitable laptop by surveying staff, comparing software, hardware, and costs of different options, and creating a decision matrix that considers cost, usability, disk space, and portability.
Planning bridges the gap between an organization's current state and desired future state by establishing goals and determining how to achieve them. It allows organizations to accomplish things systematically that otherwise may not happen. Planning makes it possible to anticipate challenges and opportunities in advance so that appropriate actions can be planned.
The document provides instructions for a baby project that involves designing a 3D papercraft shop using a mind mapping app, saving the design as a JPG, and printing and sharing it. It outlines creating a center for the papercraft, adding members with IDs and pictures, and designing individual components for each person. Next steps include designing lights, shadows, and materials in Autodesk 3Ds Max for the project and using Particle Illusion 3.0 to add effects to images, saving the files as .max and .jpg formats.

What REALLY Differentiates The Best Content Marketers From The RestRoss Simmonds
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels over cities. However, they also observed that this improvement was temporary and air pollution rebounded once lockdowns were lifted as vehicle traffic increased again. Overall, the study highlights how lockdowns can provide short-term benefits to air quality but sustained changes are needed to maintain those improvements.

Eco-nomics, The hidden costs of consumptionJosh Beatty
Joe, an average consumer, spends $25,000 annually on goods and consumes $100,000 worth of natural resources, but he only pays the direct retail costs and is unaware of the various hidden environmental, health, and security costs associated with production and transportation. These hidden costs—which include pollution cleanup, resource depletion, subsidies, and climate change impacts—add up to over $1 trillion annually for U.S. consumers. The document urges people to reduce their consumption, support sustainable businesses, and make more informed choices to limit these hidden costs that will otherwise be passed on to future generations.
Gary Vaynerchuk provides tips for using Snapchat effectively. He notes that while only 1% of marketers currently use Snapchat, it has over 100 million active monthly users, making it a good platform to engage younger audiences. He then provides several tips, such as making emojis huge, finding hidden colors, using geofitlers to tag locations, replaying snaps once per day, drawing on an iPad for better quality, cross-promoting to other networks, using QR codes, and checking out the new Snapchat Discover feature. He encourages readers to get started using these tips on Snapchat.

LASTconf 2018 - System Mapping: Discover, Communicate and Explore the Real Co...Colin Panisset
System mapping is a technique to visualize and communicate the complexity of systems. It can be used to map dependencies, workflows, and other relationships. The process involves talking to people to understand the system, capturing information, getting feedback, and iterating. Graphviz is one open source tool that can be used to generate visual maps from code. System mapping helps build shared understanding, discover issues, and extract implicit knowledge about the system. It works best when curated over time and can reveal unexpected connections and risks.
The document summarizes Stephen Few's presentation on effective data visualization and communication through tables and graphs. It provides examples of poor and improved data visualizations, highlighting the importance of clear design to convey intended meaning. While software has made creating graphs easy, it has not taught effective visual design principles. Vendors sometimes demonstrate poor practices in their own examples. The key is designing visuals based on the message to be communicated rather than superficial formatting.
Were Doing It Wrong, Future Insights Live, June 2014Steve Hickey
The document discusses more effective approaches to designing and prototyping user interfaces. It advocates sketching early ideas, prototyping functionality quickly through coding, and testing prototypes with users from the start. Specific techniques recommended include sketching user flows, building clickable prototypes in HTML/CSS/JS, using storyboarding apps, and designing interfaces directly in the browser using the right tools for each task. Examples from Google Glass and Incantor show how quickly prototyping uncovered important insights not evident from traditional planning methods. The key takeaways are to sketch often, start prototyping instead of wireframing, test early and frequently, avoid unnecessary comps, streamline workflows, and allow for non-linear processes.
We're Doing It Wrong: Prototyping The Future Of The WebSteve Hickey
The document discusses more effective approaches to designing and prototyping user interfaces. It advocates sketching early ideas, prototyping functionality quickly through coding, and testing prototypes with users from the start. Specific tips include sketching often for efficiency, prototyping instead of wireframing to allow for early testing, avoiding creating comprehensive visual comps, and eliminating redundant steps from traditional design processes. The document shares examples from companies like Google that employed rapid prototyping and testing to help inform their design of new products like Google Glass.
We're Doing It Wrong: Prototyping the Future of the WebFuture Insights
Steve Hickey's talk from Future Insights Live 2014 in Las Vegas: "As an industry we love to tell our clients that we’re agile or lean, that we’re better than the traditional waterfall process. But the reality is that we all stick to old bad habits in the name of convenience and safety. But we’re dead wrong when we work that way."

This document summarizes Stephen Few's presentation on data visualization. Few argues that while data is abundant, the ability to understand and communicate its meaning has not improved. Most people are not trained in data analysis and create ineffective graphs. Few advocates simplifying graphs by removing non-data elements and focusing on the message. He shows how simple, minimalist designs can clearly convey insights that are missed in complex tables or misleading graphs. The goal is to present quantitative information in a way that effectively enlightens audiences.

This document presents an overview of 3D internet, which combines 3D graphics with the internet. It discusses what 3D internet is, the reasons for its development like more interesting shopping and social interactions. The document then covers how 3D internet has evolved from earlier versions of the web, how it works using virtual platforms and sensors. Some advantages are its interactivity and content availability. Applications discussed include e-commerce, training, games and entertainment. Challenges to adoption include complexity, bandwidth limitations and lack of adoption by advertisers. The future potential of 3D internet is described as making web interactions easier and more effective within 10 years.
This document discusses guerrilla usability testing techniques. It explains that guerrilla testing is an informal testing method that can be done with minimal equipment like a computer, moderator, and video recorder to capture user interactions. Some benefits of guerrilla testing are that it is low cost, provides qualitative insights, and can be done continuously throughout the development process. Examples highlighted include Microsoft's extensive usability testing for Halo 3 that helped identify and address user frustrations.

In this session, Kent will spotlight key lessons learned while building accessible visualisations for Google products like Search, Fitbit, Loon, Quantum AI and Cloud. He will discuss techniques for generating awareness, building a community of experts and making a business case for data accessibility. Kent will share his group's accessibility-first approach to design and how standards can be used to empower teams to create better data experiences.
Owning the Interaction in Dynamic Environmentsguestf4f7a4b38
1. The document discusses a presentation about owning user interactions in dynamic online environments. As the internet becomes more interactive, designers must apply user-centered approaches to all interactions.
2. The presentation introduces a method for describing dynamic user interactions using storyboards, wireframes, and key frames. This provides a clear way to explain how interactions should work.
3. Lo-fi techniques like sketching are found to be better than polished wireframes at engaging audiences and assessing designs early in the development process. The ability to draw is a learnable skill, not innate talent, and can help reduce risks before significant development work.

The document discusses smart contracts and their potential uses and drawbacks. It defines smart contracts as programs run under the economic rules of a blockchain. Some potential uses of smart contracts mentioned include creating markets, electronic voting systems, fractional ownership of assets, and distributed computation. Drawbacks discussed include issues with privacy, immutability of mistakes, and slow performance relative to traditional databases. The document aims to explore smart contracts and discuss where they may or may not be better options than traditional approaches.
The document discusses potential future directions for web pages, including making them more spatial and three-dimensional. It presents examples of how web pages could be immersive environments for browsing, shopping, editing, gaming, collaboration and education. Key applications mentioned include using virtual and augmented reality to make pages feel more like 3D spaces where users can navigate and interact visually, auditorily and kinetically. The document suggests these types of "spatial websites" could be built using technologies like WebGL, WebAssembly, Unity and WebXR.

This document discusses natural language processing (NLP) and feature extraction. It explains that NLP can be used for applications like search, translation, and question answering. The document then discusses extracting features from text like paragraphs, sentences, words, parts of speech, entities, sentiment, topics, and assertions. Specific features discussed in more detail include frequency, relationships between words, language features, supervised machine learning, classifiers, encoding words, word vectors, and parse trees. Tools mentioned for NLP include Google Cloud NLP, Spacy, OpenNLP, and Stanford Core NLP.
This document discusses challenges with software projects from the perspective of CEOs and managers. It uses construction and airport projects as metaphors to illustrate how custom software systems are complex and unique like large infrastructure projects. Planning for software is difficult as initial plans often prove wrong, so failures need to be planned for through feature slip deadlines and time slip requirements. Software complexity grows exponentially with team size due to communication overhead, but techniques like pair programming can help manage this. Ultimately, prioritizing speed and features over quality will undermine the business, so an iterative approach focusing on delivering working software regularly is recommended.
Strategies for handling Software Complexity.
TL;DR - Your project will change over time, have a process for change (retrospectives) and allow for different ways of doing things in phases of the project.
The document introduces TensorFlow, a machine learning library. It discusses how TensorFlow uses multi-dimensional arrays called tensors to represent data and models. An example regression problem is demonstrated where TensorFlow is used to fit a line to sample data points by iteratively updating the slope and offset values to minimize loss. The document promotes TensorFlow by noting its ability to distribute operations across processors and optimize entire graphs.

4. Simplicity
It takes work to simplify
Plan time to simplify your designs
"Looks good, how can we make it simpler?"
5. Reduce
The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through
thoughtful reduction. - John Maeda
What features can we hide?
What can we remove?
6. What would Tufte do?
1975
"There are a lot of terrible graphs out there!"
- things Tufte probably said
Professor Tufte studies how to present various
kinds of information.
11. In action at Google
"A lot of use of white space, not a lot of
artificial, surface-like divisions. We’re really
counting on bold typography, white space, and
big images to give emphasis, give character
and give hierarchy to the cards that we give
you."
-Matias Duarte, senior director, Android user experience
