Hi
I’m @farrahbostic
I run The Difference Engine
These are a just a few thought starters & provocations to challenge what you think you know about LBS...
And get you thinking about how to design with it

A Location-Based Service (LBS) is an information or entertainment service, accessible with mobile
devices through the mobile network and utilizing the ability to make use of the geographical position of the mobile device.

BUT THERE ARE 3 THINGS WE GET WRONG ABOUT MOBILE
![Page 7: Location Based Services: Not Just GPS & Foursquare](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5443c76cafaf9fa4098b4640/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Phones are the conduit
To the internet
To content
They’re expensive phones, but cheap computers
1. MOBILE ≠ PHONES
“Gartner says smartphone sales grew more than 50% [in Q12010], accounting for 19% of worldwide device sales compared to the second quarter of 2009” Electronics Weekly, 2010 “Within 5 years the number of users
accessing the Net from mobile devices will surpass the number who access it from PCs” Morgan Stanley, 2010
“High-speed broadband Internet access, now in 63.5% of homes, has created a better user experience for watching online videos and nearly a quarter of households have smartphones, enabling consumers to “place shift” and watch video wherever they are.... While mobile online video viewing is still fairly limited, year over year growth is notable at 51.2%” Nielsen, 2010
“By 2013, video will occupy an estimated 66% of mobile traffic” Cisco, 2010

MOBILE = CULTURE

2. Mobile ≠ Technology
![Page 14: Location Based Services: Not Just GPS & Foursquare](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5443c76cafaf9fa4098b4640/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MOBILE IS MANY DEVICES
It’s smartphones
And dumbphones
And tablets
And wifi enabled, internet-connected cameras, media players, e-readers, etc.

AND LOCATION-BASED SERVICES ARE NOT JUST FOURSQUARE & GOOGLE MAPS

EVEN WIFI ONLY DEVICES CAN USE LBS

A FEW GUIDELINES
Design for utility - offering people something they really want or need (or will).
Design for responsiveness - knowing there is no one standard OS or device.
Design for where people are - connecting your experience to the nearby and tangible, but also knowing where the signal is.
Design for sharing - but understand not everything is public.

CONNECT PEOPLE WITH OBJECTS
NFC - near field communication - could soon influence how we engage with credit or debit card payments, travel, check-ins, medical alerts, and so on.
Ultimately, NFC (through RFID tags) delivers on the notion of an “internet of things” by tagging objects you can connect to via a mobile device.

FOSTER PLAY
“Augmented reality when applied to the body is this amazing place where the aesthetics and evolution intersect, and the authors of this new soft biology are a handful of engineers and computer programmers as flawed as the users controlled by their interfaces.”
