How the Internet of Things Changes How We Design
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino

Designing a connected product requires strategic thinking that design professionals have not had to develop in an industrial context. It disrupts not only entire industries but the way professionals are shaped for those industries. This lecture will discuss the process of developing and designing connected products and the sets of skills, semantics, and collaborative practices that are essential in this context.
