Let's fix things 21 - Responsive hardware and making every space personal

Opening with news of the IoT DDOS attack, they discuss the need for security in IoT, and why designers should pay attention to how devices are set up. They discuss the new Kodak phone (nee camera) engaging in a short discussion that the entire premise appears backward facing. Note: We recommend watching the Nintendo Switch video: First Look at Nintendo Switch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI In the main topic, Joe and Guus use the Nintendo switch to talk about a number of design trend topics. Starting with responsive hardware design, they look at modularisation of both HW and SW and how products should transform to fit different scenarios and contexts. Using the smart home as a proxy, they look at the idea that home spaces in the future should adapt and conform to users activities. Flipping to the opposite, designers should think about how the home, or the concept of home, travels with people and outside spaces to create a personal sense of home. People are beginning to make public spaces personal - think of someone sitting at a café, with their computer, books, and phone all on the table. In this trend, devices that travel with us should be able to turn public spaces into personal spaces. How do public spaces enable that type of transformation - areas like libraries, planes, trains, cafes, or parks… and much newer, self driving cars that provide a service. The pair close with exciting ideas around the important of responsive products and how spaces can better enable personalisation.
