What's next for Interaction Design? The future is now! Robots, autonomous machines, AI, IoT, sensors, data, networks and intelligent systems. Here's a whirlwind review of some of the more transformational aspects of Interaction Design in the coming years, as portrayed by a select few of the fantastic speakers at interaction16 in Helsinki earlier this month. #IXDASYD #IXD16

Editor's Notes
- Interaction16! Helsinki. Always a great conference with a very high standard of talks. There were many practical / process oriented talks that I would recommend watching on vimeo, but with this limited time I’d just like to touch on a couple of talks that mainly focus on where tech and design are headed.
- It says “life as we know it”. They’re not going to kill us. A smart phone can have up to around 14 different sensors, all constantly generating data, which is used by a plethora of apps, on multiple networks, all of which have the possibility of sharing this data with each other via the many APIs these networks have. Taking that data, and acting on it, kicking off a series of events that create new outcomes, more data, that more algorithms can respond to, triggering more data on more systems. It's not hard to see how, when we design something on a single system, that the impact of what we're designing has far further reaching implications than our design intent. And that's not even taking into account self-learning Artificial Intelligence!
- Kate Darling tries to allay this fear by showing us a video of the World Robot Soccer Championship. They need a lot of human assistance. They’re always falling over and getting themselves into trouble. However, robots are increasingly being used in the workplace to perform tasks. People are worried they'll take away jobs en mass. Kate's prediction is that we're going to see a long phase where humans and robots are going to need to work together in the workplace. Because robots are good at their specific task, but when something goes wrong, or something happens that they're not used to they are terrible at dealing with it.
- Robots are really just beginning to interact with humans. As humans, we're very physical and emotional creatures. We tend to project human qualities onto robots and develop an emotional bond with robots. Robots are beginning to be designed with this in mind. Examples… Furby: cute / learn how to speak English Pleo: cute / cries when you hold it upside down by its tail Boston Dynamics Military robot: looks inhumane Examples of robots helping in Health and Education.
- Robots replacing humans (we need a human touch) Privacy & security: Access to too much of my personal data / hackable? Emotional manipulation: robot might be able coerce people into revealing more data about themselves than they would ever enter into a database As kind of an extension to robots, we have AI…
- Chris Noessel gave us a fantastic description of the various levels of AI: Singularity: — intelligence surpassing all current human control or understanding — unpredictable or even unfathomable to human intelligence We’re very much playing in the “narrow” area of AI Chris introduced us to the concept of Agentive Tech…
- Three examples are Roomba, Narrative and Google Car We’re only just scratching the surface of what might be possible with agentive tech. — “Sky’s the limit”
- Good Night Lamp Switch the big lamp on and the little one also goes on and can be anywhere else in the world. Designed to give loved ones a sense of presence in the lives of people who can’t be close. People are using to signal other meanings too. I wish I had one when I was working for the guys in London (explain) A few other examples of IoT…
- Propeller Gain real insights into your triggers. Reduce the hassle of managing asthma or COPD. Stay connected to your family and care team. Propeller helps you understand what may be causing your symptoms, so you can live a healthy, active life.
- Artemis Personal safety: tap three times if in danger. Built-in microphone and tracking device. Operator can hear everything and despatch help if needed. You can signal false alarm.
- Flood Network UK Would you like to know water levels when you're not home? Flood Monitor contributes to the resilience of your community by sharing this information. You can install a Flood Monitor and see your readings live on the map every 15 minutes. Helps communities and officials monitor and predict flood levels.
- Evadrop The shower that conserves water and tracks your water usage by minimising waste.
- Hello Tractor “Smart Tractor” specifically for small farmers unique needs. Equipped with various attachments, owners can tailor its use for a variety of crops and stages of the production cycle, allowing them to serve their customers throughout the year. The GPS antenna allows Hello Tractor to track its usage and gather data on location, market trends, and uptake.
- The Air Quality Egg A sensor system and community designed to allow anyone to collect and publish Nitrogen Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide concentrations around or outside their home. These two gases are the most indicative elements related to urban air pollution that are sense-able by inexpensive, DIY sensors
- Grove Ecosystem The Ecosystem harnesses natural relationships between fish, microbes, and plants, to bring fresh food and life into your home. Enjoy hyper local, sustainably-grown produce, right from the comfort of your living room!
- Greg Petroff held a panel that discussed the next 5 years of European design. Ended up being less about Europe specifically, and more about design and society in general.
- Cameron Sinclair's closing keynote was hugely inspirational and received a standing ovation. Cameron helps build shelter and communities for people who have been displaced from their homes due to environmental disasters or conflict. “Forget Virtual Reality” he says, “let’s work on Actual Reality”.
- “Design like you give a damn” he said. And I think what he means by this is.. We, as designers, have core skills around solving complex problems. Let's not waste it. Humanity is at the centre of of what we do. Let's not lose sight of our responsibilities. We have the power to change this planet. Let's make sure it's for the better.
- On that note, I’d like to flip to a video about the project that took top honours “BEST IN SHOW” at this years interaction awards which have their ceremony at the closing party of the conference. Wayfindr.
