Briefly:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Physicality.pdf\">Physicality<\/a><\/strong>: interaction is inherently physical because we have bodies. \u00c2\u00a0Physical computing is a means of exploring how we can sense and respond to physical expression.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Conviviality.pdf\">Conviviality<\/a><\/strong>: there&#8217;s been a lot of talk about the Internet of Things the past few years. I used to think it was a good idea, but now I see it as misleading. \u00c2\u00a0Communications networks exist to facilitate the play of relationships. We should foreground the relationship rather than the thing that enables it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Openness.pdf\">Openness<\/a><\/strong>: open sharing of ideas can spur innovation and interconnection, that&#8217;s already known. \u00c2\u00a0I think it can also spur innovation in how we close the loop from trash to raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>The slideshows below are not proper essays on the topics, but they hopefully give an idea of where my thinking is on the topics at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physicality, conviviality, and openness are the themes of a series of talks I gave last week to the HCI group at RWTH Aachen, thanks to&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/category\/physicalcomputing\/375\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Physicality, Conviviality, and Openness<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,10,59,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment","category-interactiondesign","category-open-innovation","category-physicalcomputing","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":402,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions\/402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
