Here is a short video clip. We took a shot at it, so comments are very...
We recently updated the ongoing design activity document with the technical deliverables, revealing the itsme OS software architecture, and other details such as the choice of the development platform (language, libraries, environment..etc.). All related to the first demonstrator. The first demonstrator will then be followed by the development of a prototype.
The itsme operating system (seen above) will expand the linux operating system beyond its current horizons. It will consist of two main parts: a front end based on the stories and venues metaphor and a backend, situated between a standard linux operating system and the front end, delivering the services...
We love it when we receive feedback on our project, and we love it even more when someone tries to imagine different possibilities with Itsme. Like this week we received some explorations on Itsme scenarios from some of our superheroes(we introduced earlier). We happen to think that it is "so very bravo of them" to have developed these scenarios all by themselves. The scenarios are in Italian, but we really wanted to share them with you all, so here they are...
The first scenario tries to imagine the management of digital photos online and offline using Itsme.
The other three scenarios are...
Our technical workshop has been extremely fruitful. Before last Wednesday we had a clear vision of the Itsme interface and we had ideas on the role of each element of the GUI, also with respect to the contents to be managed... but we had very few things on paper on how to implement and to code those ideas. As you've read in a previous post by Nikhil that the tech team settled on the upper floor with plenty of post-its and markers, and now let me tell you what we did.
Day 1: We started from the definition of the logical...
Hi
This week we upgraded our website. This makes us a step closer to the new interactive website, which has been delayed for a bit (due this march). I thought I should inform you about the changes that we have made as of now.
We named our blog “Itsme conversations”. As the name suggests, we would like to interact a lot more with you, listen to your needs, desires and involve you in making some key design and strategic choices.
Introduced 4(as of now) different categories, namely Project updates, People, Events and Open Innovation.
Added a side bar to the blog. The...
In April 2008 you celebrated the launch of Itsme with us, and wished us luck for the journey ahead. Since then, we defined the interaction modalities of the Stories and Venues Metaphor and gave the Venue a tangible status. Further to our scenario explorations & testing, we invited you to "come design Itsme with us", evaluated our concept and carried out intense research on software requirements. We held several seminars and participated in 4 major conferences- Frontiers of Interaction in Turin, Research to Business in Bologna, Festival Della Creatività in Florence, and SMAU in Milan and got acknowledged by the...
Was the topic of the two seminars that you all were invited to last week.The seminars took place at The University of Lugano and the University of Milano-Bicocca on 3rd and 9th of this month respectively. Giorgio was accompanied by Marco to talk at the seminar that took place yesterday. They talked about how Itsme workstation is getting ready to exploit the potential of the cyberspace, and gave a sneak preview of the interface. Here are the slides for those of you who couldn't make it to the seminar.
