A big portion of the cost of an hardware product goes to the UI. It can be composed of knobs, keys, LCDs, LEDs, etc. The use of Bluetooth or WiFi connection to smartphones and tablets make it possible to have minimalistic product design, better UI and reduced costs. Many of the crowdfunding projects take advantage of this. Here is a small list with the best examples. (open slide notes for more info)

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

YDreams been working on natural interaction for several years. Most of these application use video cameras to allow user interaction. Unlike keyboard and mouse, this type of sensor delivers a very rich amount of information (a picture is worth a thousand words).
This type of application is very complex. It may include all the listed computer science fields. It’s very hard to find qualified people that can work on all these components. It is better to divide these subjects among a team of experts but, these are few and expensive. How can we put together the work of these experts?
We don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Many free and commercial tools are good solutions for each component. Redoing any of these tools would take years. We couldn’t find any hat can (affordably) solve all at once. The problem still is that, to make all these tools work together, it’s a very complex task.
YDreams makesmany applications of this type. Many of these are used for advertising but this type of customers usually have requirements like: very short production times, very cheap and always want thing that no one has ever seen. As we all know, this is impossible. Previously, customizing an application would mean many hours of development time. Often just to change a color or a logo.
We decided to develop our own framework that tries to solve the previouslymentioned problems.
YVision is developed on Microsoft .NET platform, taking advantage of its productive and efficient environment. YVision can oalso take advantage of the modern multi-core CPUs and GPUs.
The core of the YVision platform is composed of the following:
The graph is the part of YVision that can handle data streams, for example, video, sound, etc. Blocks encapsulate functionalities. Pins allow the connection of these. Connections are strongly-typed, making it possible to detect problems at compile time, instead of execution time. Blocks can be assigned to execution contexts that, for now, are equivalent to threads. The pins and connections automatically handle the between thread communication. This way we can have image processing working on one or more threads. Graphics rendering, physics and behaviors on different ones. We plan to support Microsoft ParallelFXon the next release, allowing the automatic core assignment of blocks. Graphs can have loops and the data handling is “fair”.
The settings make it simple to serialize into non-volatile memory, and vice-versa. It can automatically generate a user interface for the settings values. These are all customizable but, it saves developers time to focus on the complicated parts of the application development.
The application persistent objects may have aspects controlled by different engines. For example, visual rendering and physics. It is not a good idea to tightly couple the object to these. YVision supports a component-based architecture which allow all aspects of the persistent objects to be decoupled.
Objects in simulation have a life cycle. Life cycle can be broken down into atomic behaviors. Behaviors can be composed into a tree. Composition allows the reuse and control the execution of a behavior. Behaviors are executed on each simulation step. Execution is resumed from last step’s position.
YVision Core is independent of any engine or library that we talked about. It’s a “general purpose software composition framework”. Ontop of it, we’ve added all the other “modules” like, computer vision, graphics rendering, physics, steering behaviors, etc. The encapsulation of all the components allows the development of data-driven applications. Applications where all its aspects can be defined by XML files. Once these files are specified, we have a customized application ready to be delivered to the customer.
The multi-layered architecture of YVision allows the customization to have small increments of cost. Changing a color, a logo, or even a behavior, may mean a small change on an XML file. If a new algorithm, or a behavior is required, the developer only focus on this small change, everything else is reused. This makes it possible to be competitive and have robust applications.
