Pete Smart showed us what's magical for us today and how the future would be like. The slides are here.
The future of the web is tangible

- Haptics - how we respond to touch. But how we respond to touch in virtual world?
- touch gesture- tactile feedback to receive depth, edges, smooth, rough
- Apple release new haptic technology, how would that change our experience? Think about shopping, how would feeling the material could affect our shopping behavior
- Embodied cognition: not just what people think, it’s how they interact impact how they think and how they learn
- Usability: how would filling out form and how the tactile sensation can have influence and improve experience
Te future of the web is adaptive
- devices are driven by senses
- Security: location, fingerprint, heart rate
- These create unique identification about us, it’s like our digital footprint
- image not need to come up with password again, but they’re really bad, it’s guessable, hackable and forgettable
- Mutliple sensors: heartbeat to open car/phone because it’s unique
- Mutation
- What does it mean for web? Mutation starts in responsive design
- Dynamic changes to the appearance of a website, depending on the device factors being used to view it
- Avatars
- personal computing
- smart pin - location, connect devices
- when it’s driven by personal data, the future of the web adapt to us
The future of the web is invisible
- chris lehmann “technology must be like oxygen: ubiquitous necessary and invisible"
- Design couldn’t be invisible, but it can fit into the culture and make it integrate seamlessly
- ambient interfaces: when interface can be invisible and visible when required
- microsoft only touch
- how should there interfaces be designed: when can these things be seen as part of our physical world instead of interfaces
