#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

After their presentation at #Interaction23 today, I expect @xrw might dig the #LivePrompting thread, in which I am trying to use Midjourney to sharpen my perceptions of the real world. And reinterpret. And and and. Great talk and thank you! https://hachyderm.io/@chrisnoessel/109955982367136749

Love the concepts (and beautiful industrial design) of “Fantastic Smartphones – Problematic devices as a subject for experimentation and reflection” that Alain Bellet is talking us through here at #ixda Education Summit #interaction23 #mobile https://ecal.ch/en/feed/projects/4894/fantastic-smartphones/ and http://smartphone-confessions.world
Fantastic Smartphones

Fantastic Smartphones – a series of interactive installations developed by students in Bachelor Media & Interaction Design at ECAL, investigating in a critical and offbeat way our relationship with smartphones and the way they influence our daily behavior. See the press room

Anyone else attending #Interaction23 this week? I'll be remote and would love some conference buddies here.
Opening Keynote for the #Interaction23 Education Summit was by Ron Wakkary “Designing for More than Human-Centred Worlds” talking about our role as Designers and that “To design things is to fundamentally shape our world, but human agency is shared, partial and limited”. We need to be more aware of the aspects that we can’t control that influence design. Book recommendation was Vibrant Matter by Jane Bennett https://www.dukeupress.edu/Vibrant-Matter/
