Wearable Experience
A talk for #Smartrevolution, 2015, on what changes when technology moves onto the body. It starts from numbers on Italians online (almost half of 4.7 daily hours spent on social networks), passes through Siri, Google Now, Cortana and the film Her, and lands on wearables and the quantified self, with a section called Internet of WTF. Some of these devices open real opportunities, others create problems, like a contactless card that can be read while you're distracted. The neat fix in that case: a card you can switch off from its app.
The second half is a checklist for designing wearables. I wear something only if it solves a need, so start from who. Every project has three players, stakeholders, users and you, and all three have to come out satisfied. Interview people as early as possible, choose a niche and accept that interviews between humans are never objective. At the time I was teaching the Web and UX part of the Interaction Design course at IED. 29 slides, about 1,200 views on Slideshare.
