About Mobile 2.0
Slide by Rudy De Waelehttp://www.slideshare.net/rudydw/mobile-20-over-the-air
Mobile 2.0 is still to come...
“Il Mobile diventa Web. Il Web diventa Mobile”Osservatorio permanente sui Mobile Content“Il peso delle diverse tipologie di servizio”, pg 10http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/SoleOnLine4/Tecnologia%20e%20Business/2008/06/politecnico-milano-school-management-rapporto-mobile-content2008.pdf
Why?• There are lots of causes. Complexity could be one of them:
These five messages are NOT understandable for most technical people
Once installed...• Never misconfigure your handset!

Mobiles’ features • We are missing the most powerful features of our devices:
- Bluetooth: not just headsets!
- GPS: not just maps!
- Camera: not just photos!
- Accelerometers: not just games!
• Other features are coming:
- HSUPA: wide upstream band will enable real-time content upload
- RFID/NFC: find objects and write data on them (see Frontiers07)
- Sensors: the OpenSpime’s Green Phone (see openspime.com)
Getting serious with Mobile
• Mobile devices will drive (are driving?) two “interaction revolutions”:
- massive remote control of devices, ambient intelligence
- gestures & sensors

The fridge is NOTthe interface!
The Mobile IS the interface!
• People is familiar with mobile devices and their rich features
• Music and pictures have driven the PC-mobile seamless integration: mobile phone interact with complex devices
• Bluetooth is the lingua franca to connect everything: computer, handset, headphones, GPS, robots, embedded systems, mouse, keyboard, car audio, sensors... even fridges! :-)
• Browsers and email clients are improving: email reading and accessing the web is not frustrating as some months ago
The Mobile IS the interface
Environment
The enviroment sends its logic
The Mobile access all availableservices seamlessly: protocol
and logic are managed bythe custom application
provided by the environment
Let’s talk about interaction!
• Sensors and gestures are changing interaction with devices
• Nintendo Wii:
- forget keys and arrows!
• iPhone:
- use fingers to zoom photos and web pages
- rotate your device to landscape view
• Nokia QR Reader:
- click and browse, no extra software required!
Graviter: Twitter by gestures• The mobile phone is an invisible tracker of people’s life
• It’s position and orientation reflects of activities and feelings

Conclusions
• Mobile 2.0 momentum is still to come: vague connection fees and a diffuse complexity in handset configuration dissuade people from discovering and have fun with their phones
• There is no need to give a UI to each object: the Mobile is the interface and objects have just to send their control logic to the user’s handset
• Sensors are one of the new frontiers of interaction
Thank you!
