Auf Einladung der Fakultät für Informatik an der TU Dresden hat Michael Koch am 24.04.2017 in der Reihe „Dresden Talks on Interaction & Visualization“ zum Thema „Smart Urban Objects and the Internet of Things“ berichtet – siehe auch https://imld.de/en/research/dresden-talks/2017-koch/.
In seinen Vortrag ging Michael Koch sowohl auf Entwicklungen im Bereich der halb-öffentlichen interaktiven Informationsstrahler an der UniBwM ein als auch auf deren Weiterentwicklung im FuE Vorhaben Informationsstrahler im Projekt UrbanLife+.
The Internet of Things is about equipping more and more real world objects with a virtual representation in the Internet. On the other side more and more human computer interaction work deals with stationary objects in the real world – e.g. large public or semi-public displays. In this talk I will start reporting on our past work on large interactive displays in semi-public spaces (the CommunityMirrors project), and then focus on a project in which we are currently building smart urban objects to ensure safe mobility in urban areas for older adults. The focus of the UrbanLife+ project is on stationary public objects in the urban space in the contrast to mobile personal objects as it is often seen in other IoT undertakings. The presentation will show the potential of connecting real world objects in public space with the Internet to make a real difference. I also will address the four Human Computer Interaction meta challenges to make the vision real: adaptability, multi-user-ability, walk-up-and-use-ability and joy-of-use, and illustrate them with examples from the field of smart urban objects.
