  2. So what is a Contextual Application?Well first of all, it’s important to note that this isn’t just about Flash. It’s about understanding the user, their intent and how to engage them wherever they are.DEMOHere you can demo a mobile device, or AIR application that takes the users context into account.Youtube on a mobile phone, the HTML is specifically tailored for this devices screen size.Fintune (AIR) that demonstrates an understanding that users want a background app to play music.Facebook on AIR, Web and Mobile – each platform works with the user, and their most likely usage context. Mobile = status updates, photos and contacts Desktop = full experience of contact management, photo viewing and applications (gaming etc) AIR = Notifications, uploads and commenting via status updates
  3. For many years now the Flash Platform has enabled the delivery and creation of Rich Internet Applications. These experiences span games, social, enterprise and video applications that millions of users engage with everyday. Ebay, Facebook and SalesForce are great examples to use.With the onset of widely available and stable network connections more and more applications are moving to the cloud. Typically this vision takes the form of huge data centers dotted around the world, but the reality is that we’re talking about services that are agnostic of their delivery platform. Facebook can be considered a web host, and not only that but a web host with a growing audience and validated business models through which developers can access user bases with simple APIs and deliver those across varying screens and contexts.Some of those contexts are mobile phones, network connected consoles, laptops, desktop computers and even televisions. Successful applications of the future are those which can provide service to their users everywhere, those that understand their role on each platform, and the context of their use.
  4. Let’s look at a detailed example of an application that runs across many levels of distribution, the New york TimesIt’s well documented that the print industry is beginning to transition to a digital viewer audience. Their AIR application is a stunning example of using the experience of a newspaper and taking it to the desktop, where users can be absorbed into the NYT experience that they have enjoyed so much.Because it is created on the Flash Platform and with Adobe tools the application can use the common “paper” metaphor, yet it additionally provides multimedia and subscription billing. The desktop experience uses the context of delivery to enable the user to focus on their content, and to enagage them like never before in the NYT brand.The Kindle had really excited the print industry, not only because of the unqiue devices but really because of the similarity to their familiar experience. On mobile phones the NYT have enabled users to browse their content in bite size chunks, and even tailoring the content for individual screen sizes and interaction methods. The Chumby experience is in fact completely passive, and many of the Chumby widgets are delivered as rotating feeds, video and audio.It’s also important to remember that NYT and others still sell newspapers, their millions of readers still enjoy receiving their morning paper; in the context of reading it in their leisure.So each provides a unique experience and a unique business model to engage users in their context, yet all powered by the same cloud services that have enabled newspapers to get to print for decades.
  5. The second step is to consider where your users are to be targeted, and the context of that experience to them.You can see in this chart the key use cases, and user interaction models for our strategic priorities. TV, Mobile and the Desktop.It might seem obvious but the TV is a sit back, passive experience. Plugging in a games console is a different use case, but largely the user wants to watch video or listen to audio. In the future we expect that users will engage in social viewing, and some basic interactions. Widget style applications are most likely to succeed, and we also see opportunities for interaction with live broadcast, linear viewing.Mobile Phones or devices are typically reactive, you get a message and you respond. You update your status and monitor your emails, and you buy the device to fit with your context as a user. That’s why some devices account for most web browsing, others for messaging and some for multimedia.Your users are going to live in some part of each of these contexts, and your application must adapt to that experience. The effect of not adhering to the context will be a jarring and irritating experience.Alternatively you might be onto a winner, as Twitter became. There are no hard and fast rules, only guidelines. I expect huge innovation in the TV space as OEMs being the web to the living room, and engage the audience like never before.
  6. Note: Often Fanbase has been shown as a multi-screen app, so the audience will have seen this before. In this slide I simply opened up the AIR app and used the little minimize button to show the widget version.The fanbase application has taken advantage of being on the desktop, and can also be switched into a widget experience. Using that context the user can now listen to music in the background, or keep up to date in the chat window with other fans.So it’s possible to run in multiple contexts, and it’s great to be aware that at times your users might want to engage in different ways.
