Innovation requires a new mind-set

Simon St. Laurent, O’Reilly’s strategic content director for our web space and co-chair of our Fluent Conference, recently launched an investigation looking into the web’s potential to change not only computing, but the world in general. O'Reilly's Jenn Webb caught up with St. Laurent to talk about the timing, what he’s exploring, and why the web isn’t dead.

In the second segment, O’Reilly’s Nick Lombardi talks with Tom Greever, UX director at Bitovi, about the evolution of experience design and how today’s designers are not only solving design problems, but business problems as well.

The web is a critical part of the IoT story

The Internet of Things is challenging designers to rethink their craft. I recently sat down with Claire Rowland, independent designer and author of the forthcoming book Designing Connected Products to talk about the changing design landscape.

During our interview, Rowland brought up three points that resonated with me: interoperability and the Internet of Things, experience designers and networks, and the IoT’s latency problem.

The complexity of the IoT requires experience design solutions

Industrial designers and interaction designers are joining forces to create the best services for Internet of Things (IoT). Mary Treseler sat down with Martin Charlier, a design strategist with a unique distinction of having both interaction and industrial design experience to talk about how the IoT is changing the design landscape, including team dynamics, responsible design, and value-driven design.
