About Me Abstract True Self Fair Trade User Data The Future Consumer

A BIT ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Cait.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a forward thinking dreamer with a knack for using data to influence design, and a growing passion for the blending of physical and digital worlds. My interests developed from traditional Industrial Design techniques like product design and furniture - and developed into a love for the user experience. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logical ergonomics, smooth digital moments, complex algorithmic form generation or feel good interactions - I can make it happen. My interests occupationally lie in research, trend analysis, and data driven design. Personally, I love science fiction and engaging play, and find time for both in my every day.

ABSTRACT The shortest distance between the present and the possibility.

The data age has brought us to an eye opening understanding of the seemingly infinite potential laid out before us. We pride ourselves on being capable of seeing inside the human body, having the ability to speak with people across oceans, and able to answer any question within an instant. With this, we build up a perfect version of ourselves online, tailor our perfect shell physically, and yet still feel burdened mentally. We will always strive to be the best, and once we have reached the better, we have already seen the next opportunity on the horizon. The problem lies in us tying together past systems as best we can when in reality we must reestablish how we connect sentiently, physiologically and digitally. The data that we make is bought, sold and used by many; yet not truly understood by the people manufacturing it - this is not an effective way of nurturing growth in the economy of self information. To educate the data-farmer, find gentle methods of communication, and change participation through a new user mindset, personal data will be exchangeable in a way that understands the past, elevates the current and perceives the future. Through passive data creation, fair trade of personal data, and a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;You-centricâ&#x20AC;? method of connecting the now with the possibility; the predictive potential will redefine the relationships businesses make with consumers, and the mindset the individual has towards their position in the world. We are giving the control back to the individual, and they are now revitalized with the acuity, perspicacity and acumen of a seemingly all-knowing mind.

CORE CONCEPTS

AUTHENTIC SELF

FAIR TRADE DATA

FUTURE CONSUMER

The journey to understand who â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;? are. This is a motivation for long existing behaviours, and new and exciting services. This can be seen in recent industries for health & wellness, fitness, social media, and wearables to name a few.

Data is being mass-produced as the new commodity and currency. Users are the data farmers, and new methods of gaining and delivering benefit to brands can be developed from IOT devices and wearable electronics.

The new demographic is no demographic. Consumers are blending characteristics and changing spending habits. The expectation is to have personal, clever and engaging experiences, rather than just purchase and ownership.

AUTHENTIC SELF The authentic self, is the fully realized, infinitely complex and fully connected state of being. It is the ultimate goal, unreachable until realized, and unique to each person. The journey to discovering and then rediscovering the authentic self can be argued to being the purpose of human consciousness, driving all motivation and inspiration. This was the quest I had originally taken on in the beginning of my research. What do we define as the fully realized state of being? And how do we manifest solutions and strategies to reach this unreachable goal? I naively started this journey off searching for a biological, anatomical and medicinal reasoning for identifying how people get closer to defining who they should be. It was in this that I changed directions, and realized the already occurring manifestations of self discovery. Health and wellness, fitness trends, social media, drugs and alcohol, meditation, religion, quantified self documentation, and fashion to name a few. How are these things connected and how have we been doing it wrong? What does the digital age, coming to a new level of maturity mean for the unfolding journey of identifying our true selves? The self is undergoing a transformation, and will continue to do so. We have a physical form with biological restrictions, a time limit, and the ability to live infinitely through impressions we leave on our world. We are also conscious beings, experiencing complex thought systems, developing health problems and innovations that blur the line between physical and mental forms. The newest form of self is the digital self. We have a digital profile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; likely many. They each act as a projection of who we are, with the added bonus of being able to tailor and manipulate it to represent a self-identified ideal version. In addition to the complexities of the individual, we are also connected to each other on multiple wavelengths. Be it our presence in a room, our comment in a forum, or our ecological footprint. We exist, and thus we reverberate.

This is where Totem was born.

FAIR TRADE DATA Fair Trade has been a standard on the trading and sustainability of commodities and products from one place to another. It helps to promote greater equity for international trading partners through dialogue, respect and transparency. As a result the rights of workers who produce the goods being exchanged are recognized, standardized and protected. The modern world is run off of many commodities, and a wide range of exchange methods and currencies are used to sustain different areas of the globe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all for the overarching benefit of humanity.

Data is the latest currency and commodity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is not a new concept to use it to invigorate change and promote new endeavors in purchasing and farming different kinds of data. We are all being analyzed for our spending habits, interests, internet usage and social conversations. People care, and companies do buy this information from consumer analytics companies and data aggregators. It has been made clear through social media and political outcry that people do not feel comfortable with the amount of data that is being absorbed from them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it will only get more in-depth from here.

With wearables, IOT devices, and a connected globe – this data will be streamed at an alarming rate, with seemingly no control in part by the user. You choose to either provide the data freely (on top of the cost for services already being sold to you) and engage with the services that you like, or you can throw away your smart phone, computer and television. It is unfair ethically to deprive people of some services in this age – especially since data is a material that is not as dependant on organic resources in the literal sense. Some may believe that internet connectivity should be as free as water (which we still charge for in bottles and in our monthly amenities), but perhaps there is a way where both sides can gain mutual benefit – and as a result, assure safety and plasticity during the next decade of data and consumer transformation.

The Fair Trade User Agreement is a concept that combines the TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) terms of service agreements that pop up in absolutely any digital or internet based sign-up page, and the OFT (Office of Fair Trading) Fair Trading act, published first in 1973, and updated and transformed continuously as the markets and currencies change. Terms of service agreements are fairly ludicrous in concept, and I cannot think of a better use for the abbreviated “TL;DR” than this. It reflects a lazy, high expectation consumer base, who will blindly accept the uninteresting details that activate the end benefits they are seeking to gain. Brands and businesses are aware of this apathy, and will therefore play the legally safe card by saying, “It says this in the agreement you signed, and therefor this is your own fault”. This is not untrue by any stretch, but the repercussions on the brand image and consumer loyalty after something goes wrong, can be a potential problem, both for consumer and brand.

Manifestations of this can be seen in situations like the 2016 Apple versus FBI iPhone access case (to gain information on potential terrorist information, in exchange for a risk to Apple customer’s personal data), to smaller situations. For instance, if you peruse social media on any given day, there is almost always a great-aunt from back home, or a loud-and-proud cousin on Facebook who post some bizarre, fake, non-legally binding paragraph “privacy policy” on their feed. Thinking this protects them in some way is a perfect manifestation of a user base who are being taken advantage of because they are not capable of fully grasping what it is this service takes in exchange for participation.

WHY WOULD BRANDS WANT THIS? With the Fair Trade User Agreement, I propose that people living in the world run by data, and populated with soon-to-be billions of connected devices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should be educated and able to generate their own benefit from the data they generate, just by being. A more educated person will understand the 1s and 0s that represent a transaction, IP address, image recognized object, or emoji. Knowledge is power, and the consumer population would likely be more comfortable and more willing to contribute if they do not feel deceived with their experience with products and services, and do not feel apathetic in relation to their legal rights as human beings and customers.

The flip side of this agreement is a huge influx of information for brands. With connected devices, objects and people, we are moving out of the alpha stage and are slowly realizing that if the consumer wants benefit, and if able to get it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they will participate. Nielsen, among other consumer analytics companies are the bridge that I propose connect the consumer to the brand in a mutually beneficial, long term relationship. Like crowdfunding, people can stream services through contract plans, or exchange micro data packs in return for bonuses and experiences. This would drive competition through the production of engaging services, and promote an intimacy and comradery between consumer and brand, because in small ways, you contribute to their success. Currency for product, and data for benefits. That will secure consumerism in the next stage of the digital era.

FUTURE CONSUMER The modern consumer is a consumer chameleon. Previously, most consumer groups were generated through a grand marketing technique where all people were blocked into a group, and product was generated specifically for them. This is not completely gone - but it is changing. The modern consumer is difficult to understand. They are dynamic, and complex - as people usually are. They are no longer afraid to announce their identity, and their shopping habits reflect that. Not only are our habits becoming harder to track, we are also spending in patterns that are difficult to predict. When understanding the consumer confidence of a demographic, many forces drive its direction, and consumer analytics companies like Nielsen depend on result-generating data for their clients.

The most effective marketing methods need to be engaging, personal, available and honest. The retail environment is not defined merely by a physical store front or a retail web page, and the act of being a consumer no longer means buying a product or service as the only interaction. Like in any other relationship, there is a method to assure success and invigorate a blossoming between the two. The expectation economy is the new behaviour of consumerism, and to an extent; the future of marketing and advertising.

Industries of Identity Market Analysis Contextual Interviews Insights Trend Analysis Innovation Matrix Knowledge Synthesis

INDUSTRIES OF IDENTITY The quest for self actualization, answering "the big questions" is a behaviour we have had from the beginning. Once a life form is intelligent enough to become aware of its own existence, it is only a matter of time until it begins to question "why?". The intrinsic motivation to achieve self actualization has been embedded into all things, and most notably profited off of in “Industries of Identity”. They buy, sell and evolve aspects of the human condition that they know we all suffer to understand and accept. The profitability of such industries will be ever profitable, and understanding the motivation behind consumer sales in these industries, and harnessing it in a fair way, can generate a sustainable, ethical model of self discovery. We cannot give someone the answer to discovering their true selves, we must merely provide them with the motivation and belief that they can do so alone. The benefit for the consumer is clear - they give something in exchange for something else. Whether it is truly beneficial to them or not - if they believe it is good, it is in demand. The benefit for brands selling the “solutions” is also clear - revenue streams, happy customers, positive brand image, etc. The benefit for Totem, and for any partners in the platform come from the plasticity of the concept, and assured on-going demand for the product. The key in the age of data is not to tie oneself down to a form - to a prescribed “solution”. By existing as no form, and many forms - Totem is assured to maintain relevancy, and avoid restrictions from depleting resources and fleeting trends. The only thing needed is an open-minded, educated user, a brand who is willing to play fair, and a contextually, emotionally aware sensory device.

MARKET ANALYSIS The value proposition for this market involve pleasing brands and consumers through a consumerism and data transactional revolution. This could take place within the current technological and service industries, but is likely built for a marketplace that is not mature enough yet. Wearable technology needs to be small, more passive and less dependent on users to maintain them. Data needs to be generated in a safer space, where all parties are engaged and contribute to a mutually beneficial, knowledgeable place. This solution as I discovered rather late in my research is paralleled with Trend Watchingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own anticipated trends for the year 2016.

- Internet of Shared Things - Contextual Omnipresence - Two-way Transparency - Inside Out - Post-Demographic Consumerism Mason, H., & Reyes, M. I. (n.d.). Trend-driven innovation.

In McKinsey&Company’s December 2015 article titled: “The consumer sector in 2030: Trends and Questions to Consider”, some projections about the industry upheavals and emerging trends that show predictable growth and in some cases - surprising paths. The five main dominant forces were:

The changing face of the consumer Evolving geographical dynamics New patterns of personal consumption Technological advancements Structural industry shifts. This information developed from research, expert interviews, and extensive experience working with consumer-facing companies worldwide, ensure that these dynamic shifts are indeed the future. The impact will be felt in consumer spending habits, geographical region, and global population cash flow for at least the industries listed. So my area of focus was validated, and I looked back at insights gained, and the trend landscape map to generate innovations of my own. The consumer sector in 2030: Trends and questions to consider.

INSIGHTS

1. It is a necessity to give control over user data back to the user generating it. 2. Traditional advertising methods are not effective. A strategy based off of transparency and honesty is the future. 3. The value of products & services are in the experience - that should be integral to sale & advertising as well 4. Cultural norms and historical influence play a huge roll in privacy - should data be a taxed good? 5. Wearable tech is not yet widely accepted. Users shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be expected to want all the data available, and all that data must be theirs and theirs alone. 6. People do not trust brands, unless they are explicitly given a reason to feel so. 7. People are scared that sensors and IOT tech is/will be used against them

VISION GENERATION

After developing a revitalized understanding of the archetypal motivation behind popular products and fleeting brands, I decided that I wanted to find renewed ways of providing benefit and bypassing the digital alpha stage problems: For the Consumer: Manual entering of data Poorly executed platforms for users to use wearables Immoral absorption and abuse of consumer data generators Forcing consumers to choose to participate or be exiled digitally Dependence on Social Media for digital mental health therapy The general population feeling TOO Plugged In Does not change lifestyle outside of device interaction For Brands: Demographics becoming harder to predict for The Expectation Economy driving consumer intrigue An over-saturated global brand market An non-monogamous consumer-brand relationship Poor, distant brand image

TREND ANALYSIS

In my previous semesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work I conducted in-depth research into human behaviour, motivation, technology, and trend watching. In this second semester, I re-analyzed previous assumptions and predictions, and added new insights and a more refined area of focus. This second trend analysis looked at the future of consumerism and marketing. My main themes were data, ads and experience.

Algorithms run the world - online atleast. With smart phones and wearables, combined with social media and near constant online use - we have each become a data aggregator of our own material. Social media platforms like Snapchat and Instagram have recently undergone changes, both in an attempt to guide users where they want them, and to keep them in the app as long as possible.

Like in research, programmers have a long history of sharing, exchanging and innovating each other’s material to develop new concepts. This means however, that they depend on one another to act fairly, and trust enough to innovate the world together. This is not always the case, as legal and corporate goals don’t always match that of the small, but vital programmer.

People don’t like going to the doctor. Whether it is bad news, embarrassing conversations, or the horribly long waits in the hall - we just don’t like it.

FUTURE SPEAK

With ease of spending comes the danger of: A) You overspending B) Some one else spending your money. We want to blend our devices to have one, ultimate device that holds our world together, but is it safe to do that? Developers of the technology are trying to find out.

Going to the doctor can be a scary thing, but nothing is scarier than the situations where mixups and missed information nearly cause injury or death of patients. Through wearable tech and understanding of scoial media behaviours, perhaps our doctors can help us with our health from wherever we are, and even before we know there is a health problem.

Like in the 1984 novel by George Orwell, companies and insurance agencies are already seeking ways to avoid risk and generate value for themselves, and to a certain extent-their clients. By projecting near and far into the future, we can all avoid disaster, and practice self-restraint from behaving badly.

Public influencers play a starting role in generating popularity and virality online and in the physical space.

Developing a trending viral “meme” is difficult to do intentionally, but many seek to reach such a feat. The lifespan of these microbursts of fame and entertainment have behavioural ingredients that have entertained us since the beginning of time, and with the speed of the thin internet - is only made more apparent.

Some individuals become drivers of social media influence after years of hard work - but not all. Some players were literally born in a world behind the screen, and can use this transparency and intimacy with their audience to make impact for themselves and for other brands.

However the result of different behaviour and advertising methods can results in different levels of negative and positive reception.

The search for one product in a sea of brands is difficult to do, especially when the word that describes it in your mind does not match with that of the producer’s. The new search engine could arguably be used by anyone, even the ancient Egyptians. By passing language and cultural limitations, the long running text bar is soon to join hieroglyphs in the history books.

The pages on the web are full of evil doers that are only there to deceive you. Google blocks and removes them, but they will continue to pop up. Google also provides services that block even their “good” ads online, so where are the opportunities to improve both, that elevate good ads and remove bad? Perhaps the solution lies in our perception of the form of ads.

CLEAR TROLLING

Different emotions spur on different reactions, both consciously and subconsciously in the minds of our consumer - how can this relationship be made transparent and effective? By carefully tailoring marketing methods and brand expansions, we can move the consumer into an experience that benefits themselves and brings up the brand

Emotional appeal is a key driver in advertising. Agencies and consumer analytics companies can aggregate all the logical data that they want, but the fact is that emotional and human marketing are more effective.

The word transparency within brands and agencies is a touch subject, as miscommunication and disagreement on marketing strategies can negatively affect both sides. Mitigators are needed to act as a couple councilor between the 2, but how can we trust future brands and agencies to behave in a transparent and ethical manner?

Placing yourself into another person’s shoes is a difficult thing to do, especially when one has no reference point for the other person’s context. Using VR technology, artists and directors are placing viewers in towns across the world in an effort to educate and teach empathy. How can experiencing struggle first hand change support for great causes?

People want to experience it all, with no cost, no health affects and no loss of time. This taste seems difficult to accomplish, but now we can experience micro-moments through short clips of indulgent behaviour. Living through others has never been more actually manifested, as viewers on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram are observing seemingly pointless material, to satisfy cravings quickly.

Big agencies are moving into the realm of experiences on top of flat digital art, and goods.

Once I identified each trend and their micro trends, I plotted them by color group (Macro trend) and color hue (micro trend) onto a multi-planar landscape matrix. There are 3 sets of â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremeâ&#x20AC;? variations of the future of each area, and I plotted each trend in their corresponding area.

ToTem

The Totem platform is a data streaming and machine learning consumer analytics and consumer activity provider. The function of Totem is to help people to find their authentic self through a self guided journey of valuable experiences, while driving innovation in brands through a mutually beneficial exchange of consumer experience feedback. To the consumer, its a new understanding of their personal data generation and its applications and possibilities. It makes the user the fully realized creator and landlord of their data. To the brand, its a source of accurate, streamed consumer experience data and acts as an easy launchpad for customer experience campaigns and new customer recruitment through value driven benefit micro moments. To manage all of this information, Nielsen consumer analytics will broker and distribute the data between all parties. This includes its own clients, partners, small businesses, physicians, insurance agencies, schools, etc. As a platform, Totem can develop a wide range of products and services that tie in to the Nielsen brokerage infrastructure. The age of data is upon us and it needs to be redesigned to perform optimally for both the user and the corporation. We consume information, output data and that is the new resource companies are obsessed with. However the person who is producing all this information is not participating in a way that engages them, nor produces truly value material for the companies seeking it.

Through fair trade of user data, in exchange for benefits and experiences in a mutually beneficial relationship, both parties can optimally perform in the data age. For it is through moments of intensity and deep value which provide us with the drive to discover more. The problem lies in us tying together past systems as best we can when in reality we must reestablish how we connect sentiently, physiologically and digitally. With the implementation of wearables, soon will come the uproar of user data agreements, much of which would likely be left to the user alone to ponder over on their iPhone, not truly understanding nor utilizing it; but comforted by the knowledge that it is only theirs to look at. This insecurity is driven by the cloak current consumer data analytics companies have draped in an effort to make the user feel bliss in ignorance, and provide companies with sub-par, out of date means of data collection. To educate the data-farmer, find gentle methods of communication, and change participation through a new user mindset, personal data will be exchangeable in a way that understands the past, elevates the current and perceives the future. Through passive data creation, fair trade of personal data, and a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;You-centricâ&#x20AC;? method of connecting the now with the possibility; the predictive potential will redefine the relationships businesses make with consumers, and the mindset the individual has towards their relationships with experience-providers, and their own possibility.

FIRST PRODUCTS HAPTIK Passive emotion tracking wearables learn all about you. Daily suggestions of interactions you predictably would like, and only at the ideal moment.

PATH Set goals and reach them. Path looks at your current situation (financial, education, health, emotion, social) and helps you take the steps to reach the next level. Connected heavily with health and wellness practitioners, path keeps all layers of self on track.

ToTem Haptik This report has mainly focused on the development of the Haptik concept, with a connection to Nielsen that integrates the “Grow” as well.

To quantify experiences on a level that can be useful to predicting the future needs and trends of an individual, we have to identify the factors that provide value and measure influential aspects that encompass “experience”. By quantifying these factors, Totem can note trends, patterns, causes, correlations and as a result - provide new experiences to the individual with a high likelihood of success. Through a streamlined and numeric-driven system of packaged data sets, the user and their broker can specify predetermined plans for data sale, or exchange their data set in return for new brand offers. The brands who are partnered with Totem would also find value in this through a platform of approved data packages that they can implement into their own business plan, for future endeavors and with more accuracy than through traditional means of consumer confidence analytics. The implied hypothesis of the service once implemented is that these factors will be easily traceable, and quantifiable on a near constant level of processing. Once collected and added into the library of experiences, Totem machine learning tools will start to note trends, key identifiers of the user’s value in experiences, and combine that data with new contextual identities to create new connections at ideal moments for brands, users and contexts.

BRAND NAME The name for this concept was not necessarily a process - it was more of an epiphany. I had juggled with the concept of layers of the self, different forms that makeup the same being - you alone, and you as a community at the same time. As I attempted to sleep one night, it popped in my head and was so clearly the name that I sprung out of bed to write it down. Tee totem pole visually communicated the concept better than any other thing could.

TECHNOLOGY

Data is generated by each person, through a multitude of sources. What can you do with the data you generate? Totem understands emotional behaviour and interactions, to project future interactions and their reception by each individual. Even, better? You are the creator and broker, and brands are the buyer and innovator, Mutual Benefit.

CONTEXT RECOGNITION Machine Learning is a subfield of computer science, evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence. By studying and constructing algorithms that learn data, machine learning can make predictions and express decisions as an output. Computational statistics and mathematical optimization allow Totem to know what is important, notable, and repetitive. When a user’s EEG emotions spike positively or negatively, the “degrees of freedom” from the mean of all emotions identifies a statistically significant moment. Ex. You are eating at a buffet, emotions and senses flow up and down at an average rate, but then a walnut shrimp dish is contextually identified as the cause for a statistically significant positive spike in emotion from the user. That interaction is then saved, and learned over time to be an experience the user really loved - and can be used to generate new experiences like it. Over time, machine learning uses a combination of regression, supervised learning, clustering, dimensionality reduction, structured reduction, anomaly reduction and neural netting to predict future outcomes.

For the graduate exhibition, and this early stage of developing Totem - we have opted to use Google Brain Team’s Tensorflow. Tensorflow is an open source software library for machine learning, that offers perceptual and linguistic understanding tasks. Used for research, and being one of the few open source layers of Google’s Deep Mind, it helps speech recognition, Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Search identify what users are looking for. In the dynamic programming language Python, Totem connects to Imagenet and Cloudsight’s API to learn what many images of things are, to understand what new images mean. This means that the program learned from the API’s what gold fish looks like - and understands what it is (with ranging accuracy for the probability of it being right). This means that even if it identifies the gold fish as a goldfish at 0.91, and a blow fish at 0.002, it understands that it is most likely a goldfish.

USER DATA HARVESTING To have the data stream work properly, the market needs to be ready technologically and socially.

Wearables need to be small and passive, and wearables are required to let the consumer emotional data be extracted. Wearables need to have: Contextual Awareness Camera sight RFID identification Bluetooth identification Low frequency object emission, etc. Emotional Awareness Electroencephalogram (EEG) Skin conductivity, heart rate, facial expression reading, eye tracking, fMRI etc

Haptic Structural

Wearable Attractive

Intuitive Quiet

For the purpose of this project, in the year 2016. I did not build a passive, daily wearable with any of these capabilities simply because the device size, cost, reliance on batteries, low accuracy at this time does not permit a product that could achieve the level of passivity and normalcy that is required. This is a concept for the next stage of wearable technology.

EMOTION TRACKING For this stage of the development of Totem, I am focusing on EEG as my primary source for emotional response to interactions. There are many ways to read emotion, and in combination the results could be more insightful and accurate. Using a Muse Brain Sensing Headband, made by Toronto based InteraXon, I have user tested some brain wave changes depending on interactions with commercials, objects and states of mind. With further development, I think this could be made passive, fashionable, and focused on more emotions than just meditation - it could help track a full spectrum of emotions, using alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and theta waves. The sudden spikes and drops in the different waves signify some change in emotion, and this would identify the positive and negative statistically significant moments that Totem would keep track of.

The basics of emotional response depends on a few innovative technologies, specifically GSR and EEG. Some devices are on the market that track these emotional identifying signals for medical, meditative and scientific purposes.

PROOF OF CONCEPT Mood Metric

Galvanic Skin Response

Electrodermal response to external + internal stimuli, measured by conductivity created through sweatinduced moisture on skin (more specifically the palms and soles. Stimuli is defined as something physiologically arousing, it is not the same as measuring emotion, but is an important element to it

EEG Reading Electrodes placed on different areas of the head can identify different kinds of brainwaves, each which signify different emotional and attention responses. By identifying a â&#x20AC;&#x153;phase reversalâ&#x20AC;?, localizing normal and abnormal brainwaves can be seen through bipolar montages.

EXPERIENCE

So you have your passive wearables on, your data streaming package is set up, and Totem is busy learning about you day by day. What if I want to indulge in Totemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits in a more engaged manner? The Totem App lets you do this. The Totem App is the center for your data streaming requirements, connected digital profiles and physical wearables. It is also a marketplace for matchmaking brands, products, places and experiences to people who seek them. The app is an equal opportunity marketplace host - brands big and small can be recommended - it just depends on your preferences, experiences and needs.

TOTEM APP

USER DATA HARVESTING The Totem app was meant to be a second channel of value for the user. It is the control centre for the emotional experience generation, and storage for daily nudges, which suggest new opportunities to the user.

The app is organized into two major focus areas. The first is on emotion types that match the tailored experiences. The second is an indepth and easy profile culmination. To inspire the visuals must be clean, crisp and inspirational. Colors need to be definitely separate from one another, yet fluid for the app as a whole. I researched other apps who provide a service to consumer matchmaking, depending on variables the user chooses. Apps like Groupon, Yelp, Loungebuddy, Foursquare, Zomato, Trip Advisor, BlogTO,Tripomatic, Tourist Eye, etc.

NUDGES Once Totem identifies pleasure patterns in your interactions with certain things, it predicts future interactions that you may like - and suggests them to you throughout the day via “Nudges”. Nudges are developed to only show up at the moment you’re physiological data indicates you may want them. These nudges can be opened immediately, or left in the nudge app page for you to explore at a more convenient time. Nudges react to your needs - so they can be as big as a vacation night at a nearby Airbnb, or a recommendation for convenience stores to indulge in that sudden urge for chocolate.

EXPERIENCE MARKETPLACE The Totem Marketplace is the network of connected places, people, services, products and brands. Choose what mood youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for and lists of suggestions are readily available. The experiences listed are all constantly updating and are all tailored for your needs from both your interaction history, your likes and dislikes, and of course that current mood in that moment.

EXPERIENCE PAGE The experience page is the “show” of the application. When a nudge suggests an activity, or you find one yourself - it takes you to a page that informs you about what it is, where it is, what others thought about it, and a projection of what you will feel about it. Each page is constantly updating, and will be locatable if it is nearby, coming up soon, or matches your emotional need at that moment. The rating bars indicate the community’s historical experience with that item, and also shows you the likelihood of you enjoying it too! Each page will also guide you to ways of achieving that thing. Be it yoga at home, or an art show tonight - it connects you to a mapped location, or URL that gets you to it.

PROFILE PAGE The profile page is the home to all versions of self data. There are many sources of insight that you can plug in to add accuracy and benefits that you could not get without. The profile section consists of a Digital, Physiological, Mental, Totem Account, and Path profile page. Each section allows the user to tweak and refine their generated data privacy, location and allows for easy data exchange transactions. The style of the profile menu matches that of the navigation bar. With bubble shaped buttons, crisp icons and bright colors - its super easy to get to where you need to get fast. The profile needs to be easily accessible for the user to make adjustments, and has a place on the left-most area of the navigation bar, and the side swipe menu.

The Digital page lets you add insight online and offline. Connect your Facebook, Instagram, Netflix and Google Now accounts, to add evolving interests and hobbies to Totemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insight. Digital

Physiological

The Physiological page lets you add and manage wearable devices and health data packages to add insight, and send medical data to the people who need it. Partnering with 23andMe, the profile could also add predictive learning as your health changes.

The Mental page manages emotional data generating devices specifically. Insight into the accuracy of emotional data assures that broken or inaccurate devices are resolved sooner rather than later. Mental

The account page is the Totem version of you. To Totem you are an account number, with data made of up numbers that represent your interactions. This lets you separate your life from the platform securely. Account

Plan is where you can add and manage benefit plans. Whether its an ongoing data exchange agreement, or a one-time walk-by benefit - this lets you choose who gets what, and how often they can have it. Plan

Stakeholders Personas Customer Segments Experience Map User Journey Nielsen System Value Proposition Implementation

STAKEHOLDERS Looking at Totem as a platform, consumer product, brand marketplace, and major service disruptor for the internet, data, wearable and marketing industries (to name a few), the stakeholder map upon initial implementation would affect a variety of consumer types, brand supply chain and management, and varying levels of legislation in a variety of markets. Like any other commodity, I propose that the data become a taxed good if sold from third party to third party, and untaxed if shared from consumer directly. This is mostly directed at the Totem Haptik service line, as the Path line would be more bulky in government hospitals and legislation, and much less on brands.

PERSONAS The Quantitative Self Seeker Bio: I love to learn as much about my body as possible, and I want to gain insight to feel in control and see order in my life. Problem: Although I love generating data, I have no clue how it works, and am scared for the security of that information. Solution: I need something that will feel safe, and involve me enough so I feel in control, but not overwhelm me with information. Channels: I can be found on social media, in my fitness circles, and am influenced more by social media sponsored ads than tv. Values: I value gaining insight and power over my life through wearables. Expansion: I am interested in expanding my understanding of wearables, and would be interested in new uses for the same

The Scatter Brain Bio: I overwhelm myself with monotonous tasks and barely make the time to indulge in life-changing experiences. Problem: The applications and devices available are too dependant on manual input. Solution: I need something that is easy to pick up and easy to do well. I need to forget about it and find it there when I need it. Channels: I will be difficult to gain as a customer, as I have no previous interest in such products. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sold by trying things out. Expansion: I will likely be a life long customer. I have the most room to improve and evolve and just the change in my attitude and confidence may inspire others to ask what I have been doing to cause such a revelation in my life.

The Technology Buff Bio: I love the latest gadgets, and will try out anything if it makes me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m closer to the future. Problem: The market is flooded with so many products, and all of them do one thing well and then try to do the rest just to pull in as many customers as possible. Solution: I need a service that is robust and simple. I want to explore the possibilities of personal data control, processing and application to make sense and be as stream lined as possible. Channels: I can be found in stores and online, on forums and social media; but I am difficult to persuade that THIS is the product that will change my life. Expansion: I may be one of the first to participate in API developing for further products for the business, and my involvement in forums and in interactions may help build the platform with new products. 83

I hear from a friend on social media about their new Totem connected device. It looks so nice - like a piece of jewellery. I’ve been admiring her adventures for a while, and she claims it has changed her life! I go to the store, pick up a wearable that I like, and try it on. Its not a wearable, it’s a piece of clothing.

I purchase my device, add it to my attire and go on with my day...

I walk to the kitchen to start my morning pot of coffee and a small nudge suggests a new recipe from a chef I saw last night on TV. I add the ingredients and indulge for a moment. Sitting at my laptop, I peruse my emails, all of which are tailored for my morning routine - work, friends, and meetings. No spam, no special offers just the stuff I need in this moment.

I look at my wardrobe and feel like I’m due for an update. Suddenly a nudge pops up, recommending an Australian brand of professional wear I may like. Saved. Suddenly, my schedule pops up. I have work until 5, a meeting at 2:30, and a dinner date at 7. Better look the part now.

When I arrive home I see Totem asks me who I want to share data with. I set up my data plan to be the basic data types, and set up a data exchange with my cellular data provider, favorite grocery store, and Netflix.

Heading out the door, I have no notifications - none at all. Totem can silence all the messiness of my digital profile to meet my current needs - which is to relax and get to work. I do get one advisory message to take the street-car rather than the subway - to save me 5 minutes. Sounds good.

At work, I submit a report and get a notification to get some juice and a muffin from the cafe across the street my energy levels are too low to work optimally. My office was retrofitted with worklife balance and efficiency software through Totem, to ensure that we are happy, healthy and productive.

Work is done, I am tired. Totem offers me a nearby park to take a mental break for a few moments, and I sure do need it. I love that I don’t feel like I’m constantly being “sold” something. I feel like it is my second-self, that has more insight, and moderates it for me. I’m now energized and head to my date. A nudge for a yoga centre across the street shows up - saved that for later, no time right now.

At dinner, my phone is silent - but it’s still working. The flavours of the food, the scents of the patio, the lighting, the seating, my date’s conversation - is all being quietly documented. Maybe our next date with be a recommendation from Totem. But for now, all I can think is “what a perfect moment.”

I’m back home, and feel like winding down. A nudge pops up to watch a movie on Netflix - and this new release is perfect for me right now. I settle down and drift off to sleep. I look forward to tomorrow’s adventures

Partnership with Totem to give the consumer a say.

Any wearable or device connected with the Totem platform has consumer information ready to be sent to Nielsen, among many other brands and service providers.

Nielsen is a US based global information, research and measurement company. They are active in over 100 countries and revenues around $6.3 billion (2014) annually. Their main monitoring methods are:

BUY The user can choose to do it completely passively, by setting up a streaming package in exchange for the benefit of their choice (think like a two-way mobile data package plan) or they can open their Totem app and add and remove benefit streams as they please.

Data streams are pre-designed for the user’s comfort and needs. They choose to share 0s and 1s that represent themselves in data packs offered by Nielsen. When the streams or the packs arrive, Nielsen can distribute the valuable data to their clients along with their other products and services.

What consumers purchase, including categories, brands and products on a global and local basis. Nielsen offers consumer packaged goods manufacturers and retailers with the industry’s only global view of retail performance as a measurement

WATCH

Monitoring what consumers watch in programming and advertising. They provide media and advertising clients with “Total audience measurement services across all devices where content is consumed.” The consumer confidence is gained through online and telephone surveys, depending on penetration, with 30,000 online consumers, and bases their data on age, gender and location - with a margin of error of +- 0.6%. Nielsen has many products and services under the lifestyle and media branches - all of which are concerned with gaining insight and providing that information to their partners and clients. This is precisely why I think Nielsen would be the perfect broker to develop a new branch where consumer data comes in through their already implemented customer channels and data streams. They have the global reach, regulations and relationships to propel the Totem platform properly and quickly.

Nielsen brokers and distributes the appropriate data to the client who requests it

Data is cleaned, organized and ready for exporting to Nielsen.

Private data can be turned off, added to stream, or kept for private and physician appointments

Accepted data types are streamed or micro packed (depending on user preference)

TOTEM // NIELSEN IMPLEMENTATION Nielsen has many products and services already available. Totemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data can be combined with any of these as a new division to add consumer insight from the consumer directly. The main product lines for WATCH and BUY are LIFESTYLE and MEDIA. Lifestyle looks at the lives of the consumers who matter the most. Insight into insurance, interests, energy usage, assets and finance, and even interest level in things like having children or buying a house.

Nielsen Insurance Track

Conducted biennially, the NIT collects consumer-level data on behaviors related to auto, residential, life, and other insurance coverage types. Roughly 35,000 respondents are sampled nationally to participate. Interest in wearable connectivity has already begun.

Nielsen Energy Track

As the energy industry evolves, governments are pushing utilities to redesign business models. NET tracks how consumers energy consumption behaviors are changing. Could Totem let your home accommodate comfort levels with a responsive environment?

The methods of obtaining this information is going to become more difficult to predict with the chameleon consumer age mixing up demographics. Neilsen has an impressive 66 consumer segment list, and insight from the source will help them to keep these personas accurate. In addition to that, survey cold calling and People Meters are intrusive and only receptive to a certain demographic. For this reason, it will get harder to gain access to information from the source of all these segments.

Nielsen Scarborough

Local customer insights by helping clients develop media plans, evaluate strategic partnerships, and creating ethnic marketing strategies. Totem consumer-shared data is clearly transferable for greater insight and accuracy.

Nielsen ConneXions

Internet and video content voices find it difficult to understand consumer communication behavior online, and Nielsen helps by developing optimized marketing strategies and tactics for technology, voice, video and data services.

Nielsen TV MRI Fusion

Media and consumer tracking using the Nielsen National People Meter (NPM) which acts as a currency for audience TV measurement, and the GfK MRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Survey of the American Consumer. The people meter is a bit odd and alien in the living room space - a passive, user-guided wearable would improve participation and engagement.

Nielsen Income Producing Assets

Combined with Nielsen P$YCLE Lifestage groups, the IPA indicators display a proprietary model that measures the liquid assets of a household. Looking at cash, demand deposits, money markets, stock and mutual funds.

Nielsen Prizm

Segmentation system that combines 66 demographic and behavioral segments including 14 social groups, based on affluence and urbanization and 11 life-stage groups based on affluence and life-stage. Totem profile data would give this insight in any and all packages.

Nielsen P$YCLE

A segmentation system that evaluates consumers using key demographic factors that affect consumer financial behaviors like income, age, children, home ownership and IPA;s.

Nielsen Moviegoer Survey

Nielsen wants movie goers to get off the couch and phone, and watch movies in theatre. Totem wearables could provide the theatre goers with engaging activities in addition to providing film studios, actors and theatres to see successes and failures.

Nielsen Financial Track

People seek fast, predictive and personal services, and assuring expectations are met, opportunities are taken, and marketing of financial plans help match them up.

Nielsen TV Measure

The Total Audience framework measures ads and content regardless of platform and identify trends and interest level to adapt media. Totem would provide an honest, offline look at brand recognition - no screens.

Nielsen Mobile Insight

The mobile device is not just for communication, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also for shopping habits, viewing tendencies, and how we kill time. This data would be easily connected through the Totem system, adding features like eye movement and heartrate through the device.

Nielsen Tech Track

Whether its television, social TV, online, music downloading or kindle books - Nielsen measures the sales and interest of its viewers. Gaining insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the experience of media will help predict future sales.

JD Power

Automotive purchase information is the new way for OEMs and advertisers to learn about who is purchasing their cars, and what the lifestyle of those people is actually like. Totemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive insight into the big picture will help.

FUTURE GROWTH STRATEGY The implementation of Totem depends on the corporate, consumer and political conversations on regulating and defending global consumer data. The benefits of Totem would bypass environmental, technological and financial issues, since consumers can exchange in more economically and socially responsible ways. Once implemented, brands will eventually have to connect to the Nielsen system, to maintain relevancy and customer loyalty in the age of corporate transparency. Ideally, this would eventually mean many brands could have innovation branches which focus on environmental and social change - only adding to public interest, and educating people on a global scale.

IN CONCLUSION

Totem represents the future of consumerism. As data and The Internet of Things take over more and more things, people need to feel secure, become more educated, and get involved with those who provide services for them. It can seem like valuable life experiences and technological devices must be kept separate, but that is only because of our current perception of how technology provides benefit to us. The passive age of data will soon be upon us - bringing us back to the world weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only just recently left. I believe that the fair trade of user data, and security of a responsible platform will expedite the innovations and experiences we all seek to have. So, indulge in the moment, and see the true value of your experiences, both for your spirit, and for those who want to give you more.
