Workshop at the Singularity University

Our Spime Design Workshop format is becoming fairly popular, with events being held more and more frequently both online, and at corporations, or conferences. We are very much looking forward to the next one which is being delivered at the Singularity University.

WideSpime for the 33rd America’s Cup with Green Comm Challenge!

Do you like sailing? Me too!
That’s why we are so excited that at the world’s premier sailing event, the 33rd America’s Cup we’ll have the chance to lend a hand and deploy the massive data collection capabilities of WideSpime with Green Comm Challenge. It is still a long road until the races*, but [...]

An article in Wired about WideTag

Yeah, yeah… those who are more alert, or have good eyes, will say “Ah, come on, this is not THE Wired I know”. Well, let us tell you: it feels just as good!
- Read full article on WIRED.it (well… in Italian)
During our interview, we introduced our vision and products about Massive Data Collection plus last [...]

Massive data collection to extend Google-type approach

An article in the New York Times* entitled “Data, Not Design, Is King in the Age of Google” is centered on the move to Twitter of Douglas Bowman, Google’s top visual designer. It’s a very good article, detailing the challenges that Bowman has had to endure, and the new creative freedoms that he [...]

Design the shape of the future with us in online worlds

For the past few months we have been holding a successful series of interactive events at the conferences where we are invited, called the Spime Design Workshops.
We have found that even people who are familiar with technology, have a hard time getting adjusted to the new orders of magnitude involved in thinking about the Internet [...]

The Spime Innovations, and its dilemmas

When you set out to make into reality something that has been dreamed up by a science fiction writer, Bruce Sterling in our case, you have to carefully balance many factors. On one hand you have to freedom of interpreting the original vision almost any way you want, as there is nobody to tell you [...]

Embeddable map view for your WideNoise noise maps

If you have an iPhone, than you can always look at the noise maps generated with WideNoise. But what about all your unlucky friends who don’t have an iPhone yet? No, we don’t mean that you are supposed to buy them one! But from today they can see the noise maps generated by WideNoise as [...]

WideNoise to let all familiarize with the concept of spimes

Theories are nice, and of course even necessary. But is there anything better than being able and touch with your own hands something that lets you test what the theory is about?
If you have been reading about spimes, the Internet of Things—and since you are here it is very likely that you have, about our [...]

Scalable, high concurrency spime management

We have become accustomed to the increase in power of the available hardware platforms. The past 40 years of Moore’s law’s self-fulfilling prophecy, through the efforts of competing teams working towards the common goal of producing new generations of processors, have been an unparalleled success in the history of technological achievements. Looking at the apparently [...]

Awareness Is The Key To Spimes

The word we use to describe the components of smart sensor networks, spime, has been invented by Bruce Sterling, and it is the contraction of ’space’ and ‘time’, to signify that the object knows where it is, and when it is. Most frequently this is achieved through a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, which is [...]
