Design thinking for next dacade will center around three interesting paradigms. Specially as lot of information will be emitted by various devices and the complexity increases, we need to evolve a way to simplify the complex. This talk given at IIT Kanpur, attempts to figure out how we would be designing simpler intelligent interfaces.

1. thinking for new
paradigms

2. Last decade 2000-2010 saw information explosion as
we created avenues and devices which can capture
and share information

3. Every 2 days, we create as much data
as we did till 2003 - Eric Schmidt, CEO Google

4. This decade 2010-2020 is going to be about how to
leverage these data points to make decision.
However, given the enormous amount of data sets,
therein lies the challenge and opportunity

5. We need new dimension to design effectively, things
that can take advantage of these data sets

6. Some of the important pathways are...

7. 1 design for intentions
2 design for Meaning
3 design for ignorance

8. 1 design for intentions
Intentions are the newer depth,
which allow us to don different
lenses to look at the same things.
Idea is that, things should
shape, respond and behave
differently based on what you
are looking at them with.

9. Driven by
personal
choices
Extreme personalization

10. Intention
drives
information
Different views of information

11. Context driven help
Intention
interact
with
ENVIRONMENT

12. 2 design for meaning
Meaning adds another layer to the
data underneath it. It simplifies
things, allows for looking at bigger
picture.

13. Semantic tags for meanings
Designing
from
Meaning in

14. LEARNING is
from
ENVIRONMENT
Location specific learning

15. 3 design for IGNORANCE
Till so far, we have been
designing for knowledge. All
our systems are designed with a
knowledge set at its heart.
However they dont actually
become intelligent, since being
intelligent is about dealing with
unknown.

16. Zero

17. How are we at Vimagino applying these three
pathways to future ?

18. We are building intelligent agents, which are capable
of helping in certain areas. These intelligent agents gets
bootstrapped with data, but they learn all their life.
Their directive is to resolve the complex into simple.

19. What they need to do ?

20. Automated intelligent
agents, capable of
bridging complexity in Need I
devices to simpler
human interfaces Enable machines to
understand human
intent by creating
behavior trails
2
Find rich meaning in
interaction and use it to
enrich the conversation
3
Handle situation never
encountered before

21. How things would appear

22. automated agents
embedded in the
devices makes
interactive choices
based on user inputs
Voice interactive automated
agents embedded in TV,
searches and pulls out content
pays on behalf of you and voila...
You are sitting bored and wish to
watch a tennis match, 2008 final
between nadal and federer...

23. automated agents
embedded in the
devices remove the
need for training and
ensure correct usage
Automated agents embedded in
the display monitors speak out
abnormal patterns
Automated agents embedded inside
the imaging device guide the
medical investigator into setting up
device properly...
Automated agents embedded in
the device instruct patient to
adopt proper posture...

24. Automated agents will help people
navigate and trouble shoot complex
devices with ease, by understanding
their questions and responding
accordingly
Automated agent embedded in the
user interface will help people wash
their cloths taking into accounts their
personal choices Automated agent would help users
Automated agent would help older clear out the paper stuck inside the
people set up their home theaters printer, without pushing those
without the help of a human and complicated buttons in order..
without going through 300+ pages
manual

25. Lets think about tomorrow...

26. vimagino..creating a new world where
intelligent agents would co-exist with
humans to create a better life for
everyone...

29. Creating a new world
