Slow Interaction for the Home, Will Odom
Illuminated screens and networked devices are everywhere. People generate and share digital content at rates faster and scales larger than ever before. The presence of digital technology in our lives has never been more ephemeral. These shifts pose critical challenges for designers of smart technology. In this lightening talk I will describe how a slow interaction design approach to creating technology for the home can lead to long-term, curious, and engaging encounters over time, and, potentially, across generations.

Material Speculations and Unaware Objects, Ron Wakkary
The Everyday Design Studio at Simon Fraser University and the Impact of Interaction Design on Everyday Life group at TU/e have crafted strange yet familiar “unaware objects” for the home. These include technological ‘things’  made of everyday materials and without a purpose, that create slowness and scarcity, and that playback a lifetime of musical choices. In addition to connectivity, sensing and data, we aim to understand the materiality, temporality and human relationships that may underlie or undermine the Internet of Things.
