no baselines to fallback ondevice dimensionsuser events

mobile web challenges
many of our design and interaction patterns are meaningless
fixed width layoutsmulticolumn layouts‘flyout’ menusmouse events
mobile web challenges
user input is profoundly differentno mouse or even cursorvirtual keyboardsvoice input and commands
I did what?
traditional applications rely on active user input
passive input
last.fmlast.fm
passive inputalways on, go everywhere deviceskeep track
of where you have beenwho you metwhat you did
what kinds of applications will take advantage of this capability?
where’s your data at?

developer’s challenge
build applications from the API upuse these internallywhat data and services can you make available?
developer’s challengehuge cultural change for organisations and ‘managers’value is moving from content to attentionhow do you encourage the use of your data?
ecosystems
users are becoming the ecosystemnot just contributing content
ecosystems

challenges
How are you planning for a move toward always on web enabled devices?
challenges
How are you thinking about devices which
know where they are?know where others are?
challengesHow are you planning for the coming huge array of user experiencesaway from the computer/mouse keyboardto in car, hand held, living room, laptop, and more?

How are you planning to liberate your data and content?

How will your applications enable and encourage ecosystems of users?
