urban computing
Chris Heathcote@antimega

I'm an interaction and experience designer - I've spent 15 years working on this screen (computer), and the last 10 years working on this screen (phone). But some of what I've been working on tries to get away from the tyranny of the screen.
![Page 3: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
a definition
3
let's try and define what urban computing is...
![Page 4: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
action / reaction
4
well, at its most basic, we have actions causing reactions
![Page 5: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
input / output
5
or in computer terms, input and output
![Page 6: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
inputs / outputs
6
but it's more than that - a light switch has an input and output. computers let us take many inputs and process them in many different ways.
![Page 7: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
inputs / processing /outputs
7
and the processing is what computers are really good at
![Page 8: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
keyboard+mouse / application /display
8
so this is the traditional computer: do stuff with distinctly weird input mechanisms, and a blob moves on the screen
![Page 9: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
sensors / large databases /many outputs
9
so urban computing just extends that - many more sensors, many more possible outputs + we can collate, store and process large amounts of information
![Page 10: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
why should we care?why now?
10
![Page 11: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
technology changes the way people act, think, conceive what’s possible
11
It's interesting that we've heard already that usage changes before thinking
![Page 12: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
the postal service
12
and it's not new - the penny post (started in 1680) used to run in London up to 6-8 times a day - the speed of information processing increased tremendously
![Page 13: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
the railway
13
1825 - the railway took that and made it country and continent wide - to the point where we had to redefine how time worked
![Page 14: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
telegraph / telephone
14
and then we made it instant - changing the relationship with data - those in the know had absolute business advantage, it redefined what newspapers were etc.
![Page 15: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
mobile phone
15
changed from ringing a place to ringing a person - and the way people live and act has changed quicker than ever before
![Page 16: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
where are we?
16
![Page 17: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
near ubiquity
17
of cellphones (in the first world, and a majority in the second and third world)
![Page 18: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

ubiquity of computing
19
people are carrying many computers with them everywherehomes are full of computers - soon every switch and socket will contain a computer
![Page 20: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
what changes?

![Page 21: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
context
21
it's a horrible word, but suddenly we can make things that seem relevant to what's happening
![Page 22: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

what time it is
23
absolute, time of day, weekday/weekend (+ other information such as weather)
![Page 24: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 27: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
in both the private and public sphere
27
![Page 28: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
BUT
28
but - and it's a big but
![Page 29: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
BUT

![Page 30: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
no idea of intention
30
we still have no idea of people's real intentions
![Page 31: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
no idea of need
31
or what they want or need
![Page 32: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
a new toolbox -
32
so we have new things to play with - over and above the media we're used to
![Page 33: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sensing:

![Page 34: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
identifying place
34
![Page 35: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
GPS
35
many phones have GPS now
![Page 36: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
GPS
36
but actually it's not just GPS
![Page 37: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
GPS + wi-fi + Cell ID triangulation + country ...
37
lots of kinds of information are used to determine location
![Page 38: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
or much simpler
38
![Page 39: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Nike Grid
39
Nike Grid - a city-based running game - could have used Nike+ or GPS - but used payphones to check in and out - let everyone participate
![Page 40: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
barcodes
41
barcodes are great to identify (things with barcodes)
![Page 42: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
barcodes
42
you can only make them so pretty
![Page 43: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
basket comparison
43
supermarkets have had barcode scanners for years - to tell you the price. the next step is to tell you the price at competitors - and by scanning your receipt how much money you saved on your total shop. -> uses a tremendous amount of data and computation
![Page 44: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
QR-codes
44
![Page 45: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
QR-codes
45
qr codes, data matrix, spotcodes.... there's no standards built into cellphones in the West unlike in Japan - so they're essentially useless
![Page 46: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
RFID
46
(thanks to Adam Greenfield, author of Everyware, for this photo) RFID is becoming ubiquitous through things like public transport payment systems. NFC could take this into cellphones too.

numberplates
50
this was an ad for Castrol - people hated seeing their numberplate on the billboard (even if it's already on your car), and they worried that somehow they knew what kind of car they had
![Page 51: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

face recognition
53
Japanese vending machines identify how old you areNEC's EKI digital signage network can distinguish a person's sex and approximate agecompanies can provide interactive advertisements "which meet the interest of people who use the station at a certain time,"

emotion recognition
54
many cameras recognise smiles, blinks
![Page 55: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Nike+
59
talking shoes! magic pebbles that talk to the Internet.... but software trumps hardware - pebbles are forgettable and need power. Location also infers speed, which infers kind of motion.
![Page 60: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

communal use
64
we can aggregate hundreds or thousands of data points in real-time
![Page 65: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

public data
67
public data is opening up, realising that 3rd party developers and hackers can find new ways of combining and interacting with data better than organisations

screens
78
screens are everywhere. they're being deployed really quickly, especially in new public buildings (stations, airports)
![Page 79: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
screens
79
in the UK, we don't have planning permission for movement in traditional outdoor sites. Other cities have sold off the right to install screens across the city. (thanks to Adam again for this video)

3rd, 4th & 5th screens

turns out the fridge computer lot were right

what’s next?
84
artificial intelligence is dirt cheap (check out Argos or JCPenney catalog - kid's toys have amazing intelligence)

face rec
85
your average compact camera recognises more faces than a 6 month old baby. why do computers and phones need passwords any more?

It's never going to be perfect *and* real time. But I'm convinced there's a lot we can do with constrained vocabularies.

haptics
87
vibration and touch - we can start to make electronic surfaces have a "hand" or feel.Haptic compass - had 12 cellphone vibra motors and the one closest to north kicked occasionally. What's interest is that the body internalises this really quickly - superpowers are easy to acquire.

projectors - big
88
we've all seen the videos of architectural mapping and projections
![Page 89: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

this is Robert Lepage's The Image Mill projection in Montreal

projectors - big
90
but (with few exceptions) we have the technology and no idea of how to tell stories using it
![Page 91: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
projectors - small
91
why doesn't your alarm clock look like this?nanoprojectors are information torches (and will be in your cellphone soon)

or - even this

wearables
93
This is the Looxcie Wearcam. looking more like a Bluetooth headset.Need to work out how to mount and wear technology.

sonification
94
Sound in underused - probably thankfully. but what information can we convey, especially with headphones and audio location.
![Page 95: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
rjdj
95
takes all a phone's inputs - microphone, accelerometer, location and makes and changes music based on them
![Page 96: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
ruricomp
96
I don't actually like the term 'urban' - as lots of this can help and connect suburban and rural communities too. (this is a mockup by paulpod)
![Page 97: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
so what does this mean to marketing?
97
![Page 98: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
becoming real-time
98
creating and keeping data fresh is hard - but we need it to be real-time to feel interesting and connected
![Page 99: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
1 ad = 10,000 ads
99
if we can change what we show or say based on context, we're going to need a lot more executions - maybe even written, distributed and shown in real-time
![Page 100: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
how to scale
100
a lot of this currently only exists as events or location constrained experiences
![Page 101: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
new forms of media are needed
101
screens aren't vertical tv ads (or banner ads)
![Page 102: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
need new platforms
102
new platforms are emerging - but they're layers on top on phones or computers (layar). platforms in the real-world (digital outdoor or DOOH) are disconnected, small and all with different tech specs
![Page 103: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
need to understand the materialness
103
these new types of media need to be designed - we don't have 50-100 years of experience
![Page 104: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
entering the era of magic
104
you want a harry potter clock showing where people are? sure, no problem.

you can read minds(for a bit)
105
new technology that's magic quickly becomes mundane
![Page 106: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
hit the uncanny valley of ads
106
the uncanny valley is a term from robotics - robots that seem human but don't quite feel right - fight or flight. ads that shout your name are exactly the same.
![Page 107: Urban computing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051311/5441be65b1af9ff44d8b477f/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
B.A.S.A.A.P.
107
Matt Jones coined the term - Be as smart as a puppy.If you can't be human, fail gracefully (with puppy dog eyes)

you'll still freak people out
108
it's a spectrum of understanding privacy concerns - "if we don't get on the front page of the Daily Mail we're not trying hard enough"

urbn bacn
109
bacn is the name for email you asked for but don't really want - newsletters, offers, etc. If every company knows where you are, do you want your phone vibrating every 5 yards? (this is a frame from Keiichi Matsuda's Domestic Robocop film)

re-engage with discussions of public & private realm
110
city by city, country by country there will be a reassessment of how marketing and advertising impacts our daily lives

task Teams of 3 or 4 or whatever.Pick a brand.Think of the what they could create in the real world -public space, subway, in car, in store, screens, projections, appsWhat context can we infer - place/places/time/time of day/things/usage...Push it as far into the future as possible.
Elevator pitch - 30 secondsI want to know:What data are they sensing / using? How does it manifest? What do people experience? What's magic about it?
