Last week, @trbutler grumbled about #Apple's "vision" which is visionless at worst and horribly dystopian at best. What if #SteveJobs had been living to present the keynote? #visionpro #virtualreality #ambientcomputing #wwdc23 #wwdc https://ofb.biz/sa1113

How is it going to handle ambient noise? And where is the information coming from?

#ixda #interaction23 Hideaki Matsui from Google talked about the eras of computing and the role of HCI, including proxemics, in #ambientcomputing & #spatialcomputing.

“As computers become more intelligent, the relationship between humans and computers become increasingly intertwined”

He noted how the Google Smart Display was designed to use a combination of;
- Personalisation with face recognition
- Glanceable and adaptive UI
- Effortless Control with Gestures
- Natural Conversation

Can we please fight GUI chauvinism?! The tendency to start out thinking about how the GUI should look like. When we should instead focus on what problem to solve and various ways of solving it without introducing apps and GUI's. Can this thing be completely invisible and have no UI at all? As in #AmbientComputing Or - even better - what would a #NoCode solution look like?

Three consumer tech trends on the verge of a breakthrough in 2023:

👾 #AR #VR and #Metaverse
🌍 #AmbientComputing

#DigitalTransformation

btw, this is all a very very natural next level step for the beloved-to-me upnp/dlna/miracast protocols.

#openscreenprotocol encompasses those old use cases, allowing one to fling a media file at a device.

but it also promotes these edge devices from dumb stupid media renderers, to full fledged web entities. it's a thicker client architecture. the client is a web page! go to this page, & keep open a comms link back to me while you do so. that's how chromecast works. that's how openscreenprotocol works.

i absolutely positively am over the moon with it all. it's such an incredible & incredibly obvious next step for ubiquotous & pervasive computing, putting the universal platform- the web- in to the devices all about us, & letting us dial in. #ambient #ambientcomputing #mobilecomputing #ubicomp
