SMART THINGS: Ubiquitous Computing User Experience Design, MIke KUniavsky を読んで,印象に残ったテキスト.デジタル情報は,手に触れることができる固有な性質を持っていないということ,デバイス間の情報のシームレスのやりとりに「なめらかさ」という言葉が与えられていること. Traditional material (steel, plastic, or cotton) have properties such as elasticity, strength, resistance to corrosion, etc., but digital information has none of these inherently. (p.48) 伝統的な素材(鉄,プラスチックや綿)は,伸縮性や強度,腐蝕耐性などの性質を持っているが,デジタル情報はこれらの固有な性質を持っていない. These technique approach ubicomp UX design involving multiple devices by smoothing over task disconnects through consistency. No technique has emerged as dominant and it may be that technological immaturity will continue to frustrate designers' attempts at anything but highly limited continuity. This may actually be for the best. Critiques of attempts to create "seamless" interaction often conclude that clear but inconsistent interactions may create more continuity than consistent but confusing ones.
