Starner’s Stance
Compelling new lifestyle Powerful Independent Control of own time
SLIDE 6
It’s all about the “time between intention and action.”
SLIDE 7
Wearable Benefits
Effortless interaction Quick access Optimized UI Faster than others’ PDAs
Palm Vx with Novatel Wireless Modem
SLIDE 8
Oh, Web Search…
Pause conversations Focus on screen Sift pages of results 50% success Gave up unless critical

Joining Forces
2010 Starner joins Google Leads Glass Development

The Dream: Instant Results
Instant results “could change the way I use my wearable computer”

SLIDE 14
Is being a niche product a bad thing? Can this improve the experience for specific users?

Distraction vs. Extension of Self
SLIDE 18
Norman’s Position
What we want What we get Continual Distraction Continual Attention Diversion Continual Blank Stares Focused Attention Continual Enhancement Better Interactions, Understanding, Retention
SLIDE 19
The Design
Visually Inconspicuous and non-distracting Display – small, upper right of visual field Intended to avoid diversion of attention Intended to provide “relevant supplementary information” as needed
SLIDE 20
Risky Business
High risk of user distraction Third-party apps increase the risk
SLIDE 21
Peril of Multitasking

SLIDE 22
Decremented Productivity
SLIDE 23
Dangerous Driving
Hands-free & handheld phones equally distracting Equivalent risk to driving drunk
SLIDE 24
Simple Tasks Impacted
Walking & Talking Thinking & Talking Both activities experience performance impairment
SLIDE 25
Academic Impact
40% production loss Equivalent to loss of one night’s sleep Twice the effect of smoking marijuana
SLIDE 26
Missed it all
Missed the best part! Didn’t see it… Didn’t record it… Low quality…
SLIDE 27
Why do we do it?
“The impairment in mental skills makes it difficult to notice the impairment.”
- - Don Norman
SLIDE 28
Remember the 2%
Locality of display Fast text entry Both pay attention & take good notes Conversation records seamlessly Illustrates the right application of technology
SLIDE 29
Resisting Temptation
Switching tasks takes time “Situational awareness” lost Reduced performance Interrupted tasks Temptations lurk in margins
SLIDE 30
Designing the Right Way
Remember the use case (a full email client = bad) Follow the Google Glass Design Principles Ongoing vs. Immersion. Should Immersion be
allowed on Glass?

SLIDE 31
Unknown Territory
Inspect our mental and emotional state, and those
- f others
Likely be wrong Detached while devices inform us what is going on Much being done just “because it can be”
Is this the right approach?
SLIDE 32
Good vs. Evil
Used properly Augment experiences Supplement activities Increased focus Better understanding Enhanced retention Off target information Distracting / Disruptive Minimized focus Reduced understanding Lost retention Failed memory
SLIDE 33
Responsibility
Designers & users share the burden of proper design and application of appropriate technologies.
