With technology just a few months on the market, you can build an Internet network for things without 3G or WiFi. The Things Network is on a mission to provide this technology globally through crowdsourcing. They managed to launch a network covering Amsterdam in six weeks. Soon cities around the world followed. This workshop will tell you all about setting up this IoT network. One Robot Doesn't Fit All Leila Takayama, Nuri Kim, Thavidu Ranatunga, Wendy Ju Saturday, March 12 • 11: 00am • Austin Convention Center: Room 6ab The robots aren't coming: they're already here. While today's robots don't look like the automatons we've seen in scifi movies, in point of fact much of what we take for granted today is a result of everyday robots. To highlight the opportunities and concerns that we should have as we enter the robot age, we present a conversation with speak- ers working on designing and researching with robots. Beyond Form: Designing With Fluid Objects Patrick Van Hoof, Sang-won Leigh Sunday, March 13 • 12:30pm • Austin Convention Center: Room 8abc Dependence on solid materials has stunted product design. Speakers will discuss the historical paradigm changes in the field and explore interactions that allow the function and design of a product to change over time. The use of (yet-to-be developed) liquid material could offer changes in weight distribution and rigidity, resulting in dynamic design abilities and new digitally enabled physical products. The Singularity and the Question of God Joe Carter, Julie Germany, Luke Kenworthy, Taylor Barkley Monday, March 14 • 12:30pm • Austin Convention Center: Room 6ab At what point are humans, fully assimilated with technology, no longer human? Do self-sustaining artificially intelligent beings have rights? For many, the singularity is not a ques- tion of "if," but "when?" Therefore, the question of God is more real than ever. Yet, while eighty percent of the Amer- ican population claims to believe in God, there is silence. 4abc 6ab 5abc 10c Austin Suite 8 abc 10 ab 9 abc Lounge 7 Trinity Street Red River Street East Cesar Chavez (1st) Street East 4 th Street Austin Convention Center, Level 3 Atrium Palazzo Info Desk Concessions ATM Smoking Deck MAP KEY Credential Access Interactive, Gold and Platinum Escalator Restroom Elevator Stairs SX Bookstore INTELLIGENT FUTURE Julie Germany Sang-won Leigh Leila Takayama Wienke Giezeman FESTIVAL SESSIONS 1 3 4 I N T E L L I G E N T F U T U R E S X S W.
