    #017 - How *not* to think about IoT, with Michael Vladimer of Orange IoT Studio, USA

    Michael Vladimer, co-founder of Orange IoT Studio, outlines a framework for building successful IoT products, arguing that they must solve compelling problems rather than just connecting everything. He defines the core MVP of an IoT device as consisting of sensors, connectivity, computation, and user interface, while warning against expecting users to invest smartphone-level effort into these devices. Vladimer also discusses the nuances of IoT security, advocating for context-specific standards based on data sensitivity, and shares insights on cross-cultural communication and storytelling in product development.

    249: It Depends

    Claire Rowland, lead author of 'Designing Connected Products' and a UX consultant specializing in the Internet of Things, discusses the critical role of user experience in hardware-enabled services. She argues that reliability and local control are often sacrificed for connectivity, leading to frustrating user interactions where devices fail or behave unpredictably. Rowland emphasizes that good IoT design requires treating the product as a holistic system, integrating technical architecture, business models, and privacy considerations rather than just focusing on the interface.
