frog Andrew Upton gave a speech at the Rich Internet Applications Conference for Developers in Munich. The one-day conference on Nov, 10 targets web developers, interface and interaction designers, graphic designers and software developers alike. Upton shed a light on the specific challenges to the role of the developer in designing the innovation interface. Other speakers included those from Google, Telekom and Adobe. Encouraging the role of the software developer, Upton reminded the technology community to participate and contribute to “Designing the Innovation Interface”.

Editor's Notes
- I want to talk today – about my perspective of what it means for the software development community
- 3 x Sony Bravia 24&quot; LCD Displays 2 x Arduino Nano 2 x Interactive Touch Film RFID Readers Stereo Surface Mount Speakers Ambient light sensors Win XP
- In 1964 Arthur C Clark tried to predict the future, he said in year 2000 we could not commute but communicate . Following the invention of the transistor , He believed that our method of communication would revolutionise the world .
- In the 1970’s software developers were looked up to and respected – masters of their domain. There were just a handful of programming languages such as Cobol, Assembler or batch control instructions like JCL or FILETAB Back in those days you had to rent time on computers. It was expensive Therefore, in order to be efficient with the computer time, programming and execution was meticulously planned down to the last detail. Peer-review and code walk-throughs ensured that as few failures or bugs slipped through and wasted precious computer time . The world was in order and all the specialist had sufficient time to plan, design, program, execute and deploy
- The software developer’s world is very different today. We need to get products to market and deploy software as fast as possible - bugs-and-all Example of Augmented reality Today is all about Apps and Gestures. EG: Client M, touch screen example Multi-touch is becoming the norm - Pinch and zoom, flick (example of HP Multi-touch, car dash navi ) Examples in healthcare for example disabled SO WHAT MAKES THIS ALL POSSIBLE
- STEVE Jobs – BILL Gates 2007 Because an iPod’s really just software. It’s software in the iPod itself, it’s software on the PC or the Mac, and it’s software in the cloud for the store. And it’s in a beautiful box, but it’s software. If you look at what a Mac is, it’s OS X, right? It’s in a beautiful box, but it’s OS X. And if you look at what an iPhone will hopefully be, it’s software.
- As an ex developer myself , I’ve been asking this very same question Well…what do we have to consider
- Not a handful of programming languages
- Here’s just one example demonstrating the evolution of static web pages Caused by the need for a more innovative and immersive web experience
- The same is true for the mobile platforms too iPad has opened up a new market place even though MS have been trying for years. Android’s Honeycomb O/S will be the first to address tablets . Gingerbread will force standards compliant. Win Mobile 7 has just launched a completely new interface Intel’s MeeGo is waiting in the wings and is targeting Auto industry
- I’m sure many of us have spent endless hours perfecting our coding skills How do we combine the skills that we have with those that are relevant today
- What news feeds are you reading , blogs or twitter What are you doing with that information – interesting or is it education Who’s got projects outside of work , at home. Ubuntu, MeeGo, Jolicloud , gOS, Maemo Home Cloud computing - HTML5/AJAX Search Engine, Gesture recognition news mirror
- Media tablets, Private cloud computing Internet TV 3D flat-panel TVs
- Forbes magazine asked us for our opinion on - Future of computing Who’s driving innovation today…CLICK
- how to ensure the innovation is carried right through the process and does not fail at the handover-points Developers - technologists can offer value at all phases
- Human Behaviour - i Phone gesture’s have changed human behaviour Technologists should be a beacon of inspiration to researchers to help inform in what ways tech can be used How does this allow us to identify new business opportunities – making our business stronger. EG: Dennis’ HTML demo
- Designers cannot work in a vacuum . Traditional thinking holds companies back, we need to explore new ways to evolve designs Thomas Edison said – “ If I find 10,000 ways something won't work - I haven't failed - I am not discouraged - because every wrong attempt - is another step forward &quot; Identify technology boundaries to secure realistic delivery. EG: Timo’s iPad POC
- It’s imperative that during the design phase that we encourage feedback particularly from design . The process of innovation implies change – this can cause fear and uncertainty . Put time an effort into the foundations that will allow that flexibility
- From vision through to delivery
- Working in an innovative company means being agile not necessarily Agile Be ready to embrace change and the opportunities that this brings Agile methods do not map to creative design Seek feedback If we collaborate, educate and inform – the developer is actually part of the innovative lifecycle
