“We live in a world where
there is more and more
information, and less and
less meaning.”
Jean Baudrillard

@thomas_wendt
So what does “context” mean?

Thomas Wendt

Surrounding Signifiers

@thomas_wendt
Webster says
1. The parts of a discourse that surround a word or
passage and can throw light on its meaning
2. The interrelated conditions in which something
exists or occurs.

Winograd says
“The notion of “context” has been adapted to
computing from its original use referring to
language, which is reflected in the structure of the
word itself: con (with) text. In using language we
produce a text, either written or oral, intended to be
interpreted by one or more other people. That text is
not an encapsulated representation of an intended
meaning, but rather is a cue that allows the
anticipated audience to construct an appropriate
meaning.”
Terry Winograd

Winograd says

“Context is an operational term: Something is
context because of the way it is used in
interpretation, not due to its inherent properties.”

1) We’re thrown into
the world.
2) We interact with
objects.
3) We cope.
Smooth Coping

User is in the midst of a seamless
experience, acting-through, without
distinction between self and object.

“Intelligence and understanding
are rooted not in the presence
and manipulation of explicit,
language-like data structures, but
in something more earthy: the
tuning of basic responses to a real
world that enables an embodied
organism to sense, act, and
survive.”

Rob: Weary Traveler
“I spend more time in airports, planes, and hotels than I do in my
apartment.” - Rob

Rob works at a global technology consultancy. He lives in NYC but works on location with
clients, often flying to their location on Monday and back on Friday.
Most of his travel activities—booking, packing, getting to the airport, navigating, flying,
transportation—are habitual. He doesn’t really think about them. But there are certain
times when something goes not as planned or feels like it could be easier, and Rob can’t
help but think technology can help make his experience better.

Goals

Pain Points

• Feel like travel time is not necessarily
different from any other time
• Be prepared if things go wrong (delays,
cancellations, traffic, etc.)
• Make his technology work harder for him

Thomas Wendt

• Digging for the right information at the right
time (boarding passes, meeting info,
directions, traffic, weather, etc.)
• Feeling lost when something unexpected
happens
• Interacting with disconnected systems

Problem Statement

Thomas Wendt

Surrounding Signifiers

@thomas_wendt
Problem Statement
Rob is often subject to the whims of the travel industry. His
schedule is often dictated by plane schedules and traffic.
Given that he cannot control many of the nuances that affect
of these variables, he needs to be fully prepared for a variety
of situations.
Our challenge is to design a system that accounts for his
current context to deliver the right information at the right
time.
