Our new Solid conference is less than a week away. To tide you over, here’s a Solid video from a combined SFIoT, SF Hardware, and Sensored (SF) Meetup.
On stage, along with myself, are three Solid people: Rachel Kalmar, data scientist at Misfit Wearables and member of our program committee; Mike Kuniavsky, principal scientist at PARC and speaker on Functional Forms at Solid; and Dan Saffer, creative director at Smart Design, who will speak about microinteractions (and has written an O’Reilly book about microinteractions as well).
The largest portion of our conversation focuses on design beyond the screen — the idea that physical design is becoming essential to some kinds of digital design — but we also covered the role of startups in the new hardware ecosystem and the importance of planning for privacy and security in collecting sensor data. Enjoy!
