Artificial intelligence
Local and hosted models, useful task boundaries, multimodal inputs, and outputs that people can verify.
The technology landscape
The parts. And how they connect.
Our interest in consumer technology spans the interface in someone's hand and the software, hardware, and networks behind it. These technologies define the scope of exploration, not a list of completed deployments.
Consumer software
Everyday applications, accessible workflows, data ownership, and the tradeoffs between convenience and control.
IoT & connected devices
Sensors, device messaging, capability discovery, and predictable behavior across unreliable connections.
Smart home
Interoperability standards, local routines, manual fallbacks, and the dependencies behind connected living.
Cloud infrastructure
Event-driven services, deployment systems, storage, and the operational requirements behind a consumer experience.
Web applications
Standards-based interfaces, browser capabilities, progressive enhancement, and fast, accessible delivery.
Mobile applications
Portable computing, power constraints, offline use, permissions, and interaction on smaller screens.
APIs & integrations
Clear contracts, authentication boundaries, schema validation, event delivery, and recovery from partial failures.
Automation
Rules that can be inspected, actions that can be reversed, and explicit boundaries for autonomous behavior.
Developer tools
Small utilities that make experiments repeatable, systems inspectable, and engineering decisions easier to document.
Consumer electronics
Hardware capabilities, peripherals, device ecosystems, and practical evaluation of new computing platforms.
Networking
Local communication, latency, discovery, intermittent connectivity, and the path data takes between systems.
Emerging interfaces
Voice, multimodal interaction, adaptive controls, and new ways of computing that preserve accessibility and user choice.
