YOU SCHEDULE A MEETINGFor 3:00pm. You think it’s a precise time and expect the meeting

to occur at that time.


UNCERTAINTY ENSUESBut really you get a 2:45 to 3:30 window of uncertainty. They

could show up at any time within this window!


WHEN WILL THEY SHOW UP?There is no real way to know.

FRUSTRATING!!!


CO-LOCATION NEGOTIATON

“On my way!” (What does that mean??)

“Almost there”

“Stuck in traffic, will be 15 minute late”

“Running late. 5 more minutes”

“Here! Where are you?”


TEXTING WHILE BIKINGIt’s really hard.


These redundant messages can be eliminated if you know where I am


REAL-TIME GPS MAPHalf hour before the appointment, you get an SMS from me with

a link to my real-time map .Tuesday, May 18, 2010

HOW DOES IT WORK?GPS-enabled phone sends data to the server at regular intervals


~3 MILLION GPS POINTSOct 2009 - April 2010


What if two people have GPS-enabled phones?


Actions are reduced

Queries are eliminated

THE INTERFACE DISAPPEARS

THis is the future! the invisible interface!!


a successful interfacemakes itself invisible


like electricity in your house!

Now you can just flip a switch!

no thinking

You don’t have to worry about where the energy comes from


It’s a push-button technology!

But what if you didn’t have to push the button...?

AUTOMATIC CHECKINSBased on a list of predefined areas.

When you enter one of the areas, you are checked in.


- When you check in to your house, your lights turn on.- When you leave the house, your lights turn off.


Your phone becomes a remote control for reality.
