Скачать или смотреть Alexis Lloyd Virtual Roundtable: Making Friends with Robots

We explore "the story of things" with Alexis Lloyd, the Creative Director of the New York Times's Research and Development Lab. The "Internet of Things," has ushered us into an age where physical objects have the potential to talk to us -- and each other -- in a way that rapidly transforms our most basic understanding of what gadgets are. Llloyd, informed in part by her background designing immersive and exploratory experiences, believes these "enchanted objects" have within them a world of narrative and poetic potential: The R+D lab exists as a laboratory where the staff of the "Grey Lady" can study the implications of these emerging technologies and behaviors on news-media and print. In the hangout she, alongside an audience of industry experts, will explore the storytelling potential of tools and devices as unassuming as a simple bathroom mirror.
