Living, working and moving in the IoT
summary
Design fiction methods test real adoption and security questions by building prototypes and films: a home device called Poly with a Facebook-style data feed shows exactly what metadata leaves the house; a Bit Barista demo buys coffee with Bitcoin and traces bean origins; a street geocoin pays for local services. PETRAS runs eight universities and ~60 researchers creating smart-city and transport journey scenarios that reveal concrete problems — shifting transactions and values, fluid privacy, device ownership versus rental, redundancy and accountability — and favor iterative loops over linear product design.
