ISIE second day 
Second day with some interesting surprise ending of the presentation of all posters in three minutes under the so-called poster madness that now we know what it refers. After the usual sumptuous breakfast in the Great Hall today all started at 9:45. After a brief introduction by Richard Harper and Tom Rodden took the stage as planned Donald Norman. The old man was very good in presentation and style Norman said in a series of large and small accidents caused by bad design of objects. The basic thesis is that the environments intelligence can not exist because there is an essential condition that Norman called Common Ground. A group of artifacts may have a common ground as a group of people but a mixed group lacks this key feature. One of the interesting questions (asked by Lucia
Terrenghi - a smart girl) who has questioned this distinction as the artifacts are now stressing from time immemorial the human Common Ground in Norman speaks. I've seen in Guru falter a bit 'but then he explained that he talks about intelligent artifacts and are not artifacts. The speech by Don Norman (a very quiet type who stopped all day answering questions for everyone) was followed by a session called Concepts in human computer interaction. Very theoretical but worthy of note is the last of the three operations performed by Alex Taylor from Microsoft Research that was aimed at highlighting the importance of context for the idea of \u200b\u200bintelligence. What is most interesting is the manner in which the researcher has demonstrated his thesis by showing that a series of films taken from a research background of much ethnographic mold which consisted of installing multiple cameras in some passenger cars to resume what happens while on the road everyday. Very well done and above all very visual sociology. The second panel on smart homes, called Technological and Social infrastructure for the home always point out the last speech of a group of researchers from Microsoft Research that they have also conducted extensive ethnographic research to study behavior in a household with specific reference to communication and positioning of objects. It came out two prototypes. The first is a kind of screen that supports writing (with a GSM connection) to which you can send text messages and on which you can write with pen and note that replies to messages. The prototype, unlike the majority of stuff you see here was actually experienced in the lives of a number of families. Very interesting is the possibility to perform analysis of these reports to better understand the dynamics of communication and identity construction in a family environment. The second prototype shown was about a sort of bowl (a big bowl for objects), where it was possible to place a number of technological devices (as is done in accordance with a series of random objects). The bowl shown is able to capture files (photos and images) on these devices (mobile phones, cameras, etc.). And show them the same bowl (inside). Photos can also be handled as if the surface of the bowl if it were a touch screen. Among the few things that might be seen to say wow from the technological point of view. Then there was the poster madness where the brave Luke defended our poster in the best way possible given the available time (3 minutes), the audience not quite accustomed to hearing about the environment of social systems (and even systems social) and not least the fact that he knew 10 minutes before the rules of the thing. I shot a little video of the event
. The audio and video is painful but you also have the same result to show that Luke has earned the loaf. Last speech of the day was the Japanese Ryohei Nakatsu, who spoke of the role of robots in an intelligent environment. He seemed a bit 'but the surgery was performed at times hilarious (see robot doing the tai-chi is not an everyday thing). UPDATE: The movie
Luca presenting our poster is now online to four meters by Donald Norman.
