Every Human Interaction Is A Piece Of Content

Internet of Things will bring new modes of interaction between devices and people. As intelligent electronics get embedded to items which are used outside offices and living rooms, there is a growing need to move beyond keyboards, screens and touch interfaces. Alexandros Christopoulos, Business Lead for Human Electric and Constantinos Tsolakidis, Tech Lead for Human Electric talk about their vision to build new user experiences for activities that cannot rely on traditional interfaces starting by their passion: cycling. A first prototype uses a combination of hardware; a jacket laden with indicators, tactile feedback mechanisms and connectivity with mobile phone and an accompanying mobile app to seamlessly augment the cycling experience with navigation, social and security features. Interviewed by George Voulgaris for Tech Talks Central.

#QOTD: What would you post on your social networks if it was the only thing you could say all year?

#TIMESTAMPS
1:21 - Where is blogging at these days? I feel like it’s not as popular as it was a number of years ago.
3:19 - My business is completely digital, focusing on exclusive and shareable content. How important are real life meetings?
4:50 - How did you meet Willie and what attracted you to Faithbox?
6:13 - How do you best make decisions in your own interest, even though they might negatively affect people around you?
8:05 - If you could only make one post and then not post again for another year (on any platform), what would your post be?

I truly don't think that when I'm being selfish, it comes at the detriment of someone else.

So that's how I handle it.

That can be a hard thing to make yourself believe. Watching someone else have a hard time because of a decision you made is extremely upsetting to a lot of people. But I have a way to justify it.

When I'm in my most selfish place, I don't try to conceal the act in some way that hides what it is. I don't try to sugar coat or act like it's a good thing. Let them be upset because that is their right.

Even though  I am doing something that looks selfish to benefit me in the short term, it is actually going to positively affect the people it involves in the long term. I am making a decision in a five month window instead of a five year window, but history will allow that person to feel that it was palatable when they rekindle their thoughts around it. Even though it might sting or not feel as great in the short term, I know that looking back, it will be okay. Because I made the decision that was hard, but right.

#AskGaryVee Episode 99: Human Interaction, Being Selfish, & What Happened to Blogging

Dr. Spyros Raptis has a degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering and a doctoral degree in computational intelligence. He talks about his main field of research and expertise which is speech and signal processing, and explains why sentiment analysis is significant, when it comes to building better interaction and communication processes in machines. To strengthen his point he presents the new HUBIC Lab: a state-of-the-art lab for studying human behaviour, interaction and communication by capturing different modalities such as speech, motion, body stance, facial expression, gaze… in different settings and contexts. This will help in capturing, analyzing, studying, modeling but also generating embodied behaviours aiming at more affective, life-like and socially aware virtual characters and robots. Interviewed by Vicki Kolovou for Tech talks Central.
