  • AI As Accessibility Tooling

    Do you need AI, or just a better memory? In some past engagements, one of the superpowers exercised has been that of relational-associative memory. Specifically, the power to remember the threads between decisions, even having some assets to remind others of those decisions. When one looks at the landscape for some of the uses of artificial intelligence, we see it being leveraged as a replacement for memory. That gets us down the line of asking if we are replacing the wrong aspects of ourselves with these tools, instead of using these tools to strengthen that muscle? Continue reading →

  • Updates to the Everysight Maverick Experiment

    The Everysight Maverick Developer Edition is a pair of augmented reality/heads up display (HUD) glasses, which were released in order to help the company establish a solid foundation with developers before commercial releases would happen. We purchased these in anticipation of understanding the hardware, getting some sense of its usability, and potentially working with the software development kit ((SDK)). this post serves as something of an update to the research, some of the lessons learned, and a bit of a wish list for this and similar products.

    June really decided it didn’t want to deal with 2024. It’s gone even faster than it’s arrived. Perhaps, that’s a good lesson for some of what crosses our paths as well. Also published: From Scope to Strategy to Tactics Avanceé Articles in 2024 So Far Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Articles in 2024 So Far

    Theres a lot published in the way of articles and opinions. So, it makes good sense to give a breather to recap what’s been put forth.

  • From Scope to Strategy to Tactics

    One of the more challenging aspects of this Avanceé initiative has been in taking some/most of the insights from engagements and distilling them into more widely understood content. Journaling from past experiences can be a heuristic to leverage. Without giving away any proprietary information, can speak of an attempt to shift an executive view from day-to-day reactions, to scoping industry verticals/trends, towards proposing tactics shaped by known constraints and future trends.

    Creating a narrative from a series of connections is the work. Taking those narratives and making them applicable to re-engineer complexity is the outcome. Continue reading →

  • Measuring Outcomes

    A friend asked, “how do you know what to measure?” My answer came with a caveat, “measuring only matters where outcomes are clear, shared, and honored.” We then talked about what it looked like to structure onboarding behaviors for new persons to a company or project team. We started not with “here’s what the team needs you to know,” but with “here’s what your job description dictates what you can do, will support us in doing, and how we will support you.

  • Evolving Interactivity

    Some recent likes/connections sparked a memory… Many years back, a literal career ago, got a chance to share some penultimate thoughts and approaches to leveraging mobile and social connected tech in non-mainstream & theological contexts (👋🏾 Global Recordings Network, Mission Aviation Fellowship). The keynotes and in-between conversations closed a chapter to a dozen years unpacking a mobile-heavy aspect of viewing connectivity, while opening my perspectives towards a multi-layered and spatially aware canvas.
