Bring your own kit 2.0

Social status Medical monitoring, alarms Communication, data distribution Sensing Mobile website Networking Digital image augmentation Any form Digital bubble Decoration Identification, security Tribal signalling

Miniaturisation will bring everyday IT down to jewellery size. Combinations of devices can monitor and relay a wide variety of data.

Parallel web: Sponge nets, inter-car nets etc

Wireless links Wireless LAN link to web and between clusters

Laptops Tablets Smart phones Display devices Digital jewellery Beacons Street furniture Custom devices Smart clothing Active skin

Direct inter-device networking will become an important alternative internet platform. This moves the customer away from mobile nets, and device manufacturers take a share.

Security threats
Smart dust
Internal signals indicate every piece of data that is processed by MFP. Signals can be captured and stored in smart dust until agent walks past, then silently transmitted to his memory stick.

Agent

MFP

Espionage
35nm tech means 200M transistors/mm2. Small specks of smart dust can be concealed anywhere e.g. sand or dirt, passed on by handshake, or dust settling from the air, in food, seeds, gravel or in clothes, stick to shoes. Air conditioning is new security risk Even coins or banknotes could be used to hide devices to monitor And record and transmit activity

Ant: 10mm

Human vision limit: 0.1mm Apple 2 computers: 0.015mm 0.25MB memory chips: 0.05mm

Smart skin: enhanced senses, IT interfaces & remote monitoring

Magnetic field Radiation (EM or nuclear) Magnetic field

External sensors Wearable sensors

Temperature Location

Sensory Input translation unit Proximity Sensory Output Audio Detachable sensors Video Sound Heat Implanted sensors Chemical or Vibration Alarms biological presence Telemetry Pain or pleasure Data Pollutants Monitors Logs Control systems Messaging

IT-side Convergence
Phones Tracking & tablets Augmented Visors Profiling reality Food Mags E-ink Games Cars Clothes Retail TV

Film

Games technology is really key to convergence because it is the focal point for advanced interfaces and display interaction

Cloudy everywhere
Manufacturers Smart TVs Tablets Walled gardens Social net sites Web services Walled gardens Smartphones OS Providers Blogs Search/ portals

Laptops/ Notebooks Home PCs

Corporate Servers

Server Farms

Office PCs Smart-phones

App providers Content creators

Cloud based services

Payments Certification Identity management Selfactualisation Security Context/ Location Privacy/ Smart filters

Services

Digital air Data management

Augmented Sensor nets reality Interfaces Custom overlays

As cloud services fragment, rewards will go to the innovative

Ensuring trust
One company may vanish and leave customers with data loss

Cloud providers must collaborate to ensure data integrity in event of failure

Data assurance services

Business restructuring Bring your own kit S/W & OS obsolescence Parallel webs
Lots of trends adding to risk of data loss so more opportunities for companies to help protect against it.

Data assurance
More cyberattacks

Miniaturisation threats

Digital air
Public service data Background data radiation and public information will Positioning services be ubiquitous, context dependent data will be Advertising pulled off the net and from Beacons packaging, marketing messages pushed by instore beacons, and sticky information will brush off and be transmitted person RFID chips to person down the street Digital bubbles on products

3d Printing, local manufacture

High street pick & place 3d printing hybrids will soon make complex artefacts containing a wide range of IT & mechanics

Adaptability & Agility

Today Tomorrow
The web and machines can take over simple transactional tasks, but cant offer the full range of capability and care afforded by human relationships

Optimisation is good in a stable environment but in a rapidly changing environment, adaptability and agility are more important. Risk taking also pays off during rapid change

Day after

And then?

Display evolution

Large wall displays, street ads, coffee table displays, digital windows, recipe tablets etc The more personal displays become, the more opportunities they present

Active contact lens

Pearson 1991 Laser Focusing Retina
Processing

Micromirror Lasers

Laser

Laser Diamond substrate

Micromirror Inductive Gaze power direction supply sensor Comms & ctrl Laser

Gaze direction sensor

Invisible graphene electronics Resolution only limited by eye Natural distance perception Tiny environmental footprint The LED-per-pixel approach isnt scalable

Augmented reality

Virtual architecture, data and image superposition, marketing, social and other information. Huge opportunities, but that also means interest from other industries with different agendas, such as Google, Microsoft, eBay or Apple, or government organisations..

Balloons and plane reflectors

Easy to use a vacuum carbon foam balloon as a permanent base for predictive tracking with laser cells to give high bandwidth and capacity. 20km height = 100 microsec latency Google Loon project is really an unnecessary proof of concept. Of course it works! Just do it, but not with helium, were running out. Same could work over cities using planes or airships with simple reflectors on bottom.

Casual displays & Fingernet

Program HPs memory spot by finger touch or pen to control image on cheap display. Could have lots of reusable card displays all over your house or office. Finger can transmit both the electrical power and 2Mb/s data, 1 second contact for a decent photo, with a networked wristband or hand held device as the data and power source.

Future marketplace Buildings

Virtual Social

Personal Business

Marketing and buying Push v Pull

Digital air Beacons Smart sprinkles Sticky ads Tracking RFID recognition Advanced displays Social networking Digital bubble Context awareness Profile broadcasting Urban tribes Inter-car comms Reverse auctions Community buying AI & filters
