Harnessing the Power of the Immersive Experience

September 28, 2017 By Jonathan Jeter Leave a Comment

talk by Leigh Christie–Director, Isobar NowLab Americas

Advances in technology require experimentation.

Isobar NowLab are dedicated to hacking, experimenting, fabricating, making and breaking to push innovation in a distributed network of labs. 2017 has shown enormous progress on emerging touchpoints, artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML), Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) and VR. Marketers should look for ways to leverage these technologies to expand digital offerings.

Most of our technological goals are based on science fiction. The Media Technology Holy Grails include:

  1. Star Trek Holodeck
  2. Universal Translator
  3. True 3D Holograms
  4. Telepathy
  5. Minority Report
  6. Hive Mind
  7. Reality Recorder
  8. VR retina displays
  9. “Her” aka Chatbots
  10. Artificial Intelligence

Some of those are already here, albeit in their infancy.

Model-View-Websockets

February 2, 2013 By Jonathan Jeter Leave a Comment

by Garann Means at HTML5 Texas Conference in Austin, TX

Many front-end developers are familiar with MVC, and almost all are familiar with event-driven architectures (even if they call them something else). How do those two philosophies work together? And, more importantly, how can websockets help future applications become more responsive, more consistent, and easier to develop? We’ll reexamine the Controller concept from MVC and figure out how to combine simple browser messaging and websockets to address our application needs and improve our user experiences.

Model-View-WebsocketsJavaScript

Did well for a while without patterns and frameworks, but once we realized its potential we added everything at once, adding complexity and functionality.

#singlepageappaproblems

Single Page Applications (SPAs) today are everywhere, as well as SPA behavior on static pages, requiring 3rd-party tools and systems of dependencies. It’s easy to set up, but difficult to maintain.

Adaptive Images for Responsive Web Design

February 2, 2013 By Jonathan Jeter Leave a Comment



by Christopher Schmitt at HTML5 Texas Conference, Austin, Texas (Deck)

“The open web doesn’t stop at our desktop. Smart phones and tablets not only contain more computing power and better browsers than the computers that started the Internet economy, they have better displays.In this session presented by Christopher Schmitt, we will work through tips and tricks to develop future friendly images in our sites and apps.”

Adaptive Images in Responsive Web Design

Think about the iPad, which presents so many design challenges. It can be wi-fi only or 3G, so bandwidth issues can be present. It has retina, so there can be display issues. When you design for web, you want to have great-looking images, but how do we get higher resolution images to those devices.

Why don’t we ask the browser? http://www.usearagentstring.com/ Available since the first browser Mozilla/1.0 (Win3.1), but browser put tons of stuff in the user agent string and can be spoofed. Instead of asking the browser, we do feature testing.

Don’t Build a Power Glove: Talk to Your Users at #SXSW2012

PowerGlove - Everything Else is Child's Play.

The Power Glove was a video game controller made by Mattel in 1989. It was the first wearable video game controller. The glove had lots of buttons and options in addition

Nintendo released two games with the Power Glove, including Super Glove Ball.

Marketing for the PowerGlove focused on immersion in the game. PowerGlove has captured the mind of the American public. It was even on Stephen Colbert recently. Even though it was really cool. It was a commercial failure.

The PowerGlove was

  • rated the 7th worst video game controller of all time
  • sold $88M US (failure)
  • japanese producer declared bankruptcy

It was so bad that people are still complaining about it today.

Demystifying Devices: Understanding the Future of the Web & Apps

Adobe Proto looks cool really awesome! Talking about the Adobe Creative Cloud. The creative cloud is Adobe’s way of syncing all of your Adobe products and apps to all your devices.

  • Since 2009, Mobile Internet Usage has doubled every year
  • iPads and iPhones make up more Web traffic than Macs
  • mobile Internet usage will surpass desktop Internet Usage by 2015

Mobile devices have come a long way since the first mobile phones came out for the masses more than 20 years ago.

Progressive Enhancement (UI) and Responsive Design (layout)

progressive enhancement only gives browsers/devices the features they can use

Media queries – find min/max width, orientation & min/max-resolution to decide what css to load

A Brief History of the Complete Redesign of Google at #SXSW2012

March 11, 2012 By Jonathan Jeter 2 Comments

Sunday, March 11 at South by Southwest Interactive Conference, Austin, TX
Google Panel Consisting of Evelyn Kim (Visual Designer for Maps), Jon Wiley (Lead Designer for Google Search), Michael Leggett (Design Lead, Google Apps & Gmail), Nicholas Jitkoff (User Experience Designer for Chrome), Chris Wiggins (Google Creative Lab)

The Evolution of Google Design

Google Kennedy Redesign of 2011

“So did Google just hire a bunch of designers recently, or were they all being kept in a cage all this time?” @tylerball

The process of this redesign is told in two stories. There is the story that you know about that happened in 2011, but most people don’t know the story of the redesign in 2007. 6 designers set out to express the Google brand that was consistent across all properties. It was called Kanna (Icelandic for “to explore, to examine”). Trying to find the balance between form and function, but mainly design and engineering. Looked at over 100 brand attributes that were narrowed down to 4 clusters.

how mobile is changing content and what it means to business

Lynne Kurdziel

Top 5 impacts of mobile on business and non-profits

  1. localization
  2. immediacy – we can provide timely content that would be less useful if you had to wait
  3. shareability – you can share anything with anyone at any time
  4. media mobility
  5. divergent platforms – challenge of variability in what users have available

You can use mobile to streamline business processes and and create quick marketing media. User generated content and a streamlined data collection process creates freshness for SEO. What does conversion look like for ministries and non-profits? Donations, support, partnerships.

Non-profits are using apps to be able to share their mission and receive donations anywhere.

Regardless of what you think about Panda, it made site owners think more about content.

SEO has changed because what used to be about ranking is now about traffic. Local results have changed the game. Local results are now 35% of results and will be up to 70% in the next year. The rate of change within SEO has increased greatly.

SEO has become more complicated and one person can’t do it all anymore. If you can put the team together to do great in SEO, this is a great time for you.
