4. Expressions of IOT Experience
“So these levels of user experience:
Tangible and embodied
Connection and sharing
Visualisation and reflection
“Can be seen as feedback loops that take place over
time.”
“From the immediate usage of a product through to the
longer term. We have the beginnings of a way to look at
the experience of these products, and to see how we
might design them.” –T. Arnall

14. Interactive Things through Cloud
A Thing becomes a “mashup” of sensors/computation/network/actuators
Experience could be interwoven to a great extent
Interaction should be designed as space+time coupled embodiment

15. Three Types of Interaction
• HTH (Human to Human)
– Not discussed here
• HTT (Human to Thing)
– Distance of human and things
• TTT (Thing to Thing)
– Embodiment of Things

16. Embodiment of Things
• Full/Nearby/Environment/Distant:
– A vector (F, N, E, D)
• A thing could have multiple embodiments
eg. (Full + Environment)

17. Embodiments of Things
(F, N, E, D)
Full Nearby Environment Distant

18. Full
The output device is the input device
Full
Sony Gummi Platypus Amoeba

19. Nearby
The output takes place near the input object

20. Environmental
The output is around the user, usually audio, scent…

21. Distant
The output is over there, another room, remote…

22. 16 possible embodiments of a thing
