[Proposal]Notes over translating and studying the "Advanced Perception System Slides

[vongomben]

to everybody: sorry to highjack the github issues: this is not a feature request yet some concept / phylosofical notes I take to myself to confront Eric and the wonderful people who did the lessons:

• Lesson 1 The Concept and Application of Advanced Perception Systems
• Lesson 2 Hands-on practice for advanced perception systems
• Lesson 3 Field Exercise for advances perception systems

1) The concept of "Advanced Perception System" is used in IoT, but I think you are the first to adopt in such a stranghful way (which is good).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only link [1] I could find of the use of it.

I've translated in italian. The point is that most of these terminalogies in italian tends to stayt in english. Another thought I have: most of this concept of "perception" in Europe (I speak for french here, another language I know) is far more related to the human body than the real word, here declined as a technology term.

This is not a problem, but I just wanted to underline this "translator" dilemma

2) Lesson 2, slide 7

Suuuper cool graph about LoraWAN infra (infra stands for infrastructure, I assume.

Hijack customers sounds very harsh in italian --> it becames literaly: that uses his own customers as nodes . Ok?

3) Lesson 2 slide 10: the tracker "Understands everything except technology" what do you mean? It is just a passive localizator, I'll stick on that

[vongomben]

4) Lesson 3 slide 15: very busy slide! but the question is: what does "mu" in approximately 34 million mu stantds for?

5) Lesson 3 slide 20: Qr codes are not accessible from my wechat :(

I finished reading (and traslating) the lessons. The first two are different from the third. The storytelling and design process of the first two is more of a lesson style. The third it reminded me of a shared design process. More Chaotic and less "drivable". More interesting but less manageable (I teach a lot and I would hardly see my students (19-25ys) doing it.

It reminded me that period started in the late 00s ended in 2016-17 where designer had to make their cardsets or games in order to streamline and simplify the deisgn process, making technology and complex solutions more accessible to a wider audience. I was so fascinated by this gamification of the design process at the time.

Some of the one I remember (most of these people are friends and from the ThingsCon family, I know them persoanally)

• Iot Service Kit Futurice / Ricardo Brito
• Iot Design Kit / Dries de Roeck
• Know Cards / Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino

None of these tools is shill used, but it would be interesting to create a tool mixing these concepts and the SDGs to be adopted in these lessons...
