Concept designers are also referred to as “visual futurists”.
With that said, here you have 100 amazing futuristic design concepts that will make you crave more.


1. Cloud Sofa
by designer D.K. Wei.


2. The iChat
This concept design was inspired by the curves and tapering of the Macbook Air coupled with the look of an iPod Touch. Rodolphe Desmare is responsible for this iPhone concept, which is more notable for its imagined features than its looks. The front camera would allow video conferencing on the iPhone, something that the blogosphere is already very excited about as a potential feature for the new release of the iPhone.



3. iPhone 4G Concept


This fantasy iPhone mimics both the look of Mac OS/X and the aluminum case of a MacBook Pro. We couldn’t suss out the real name of the designer but you can see more pictures from this designer under his handle “youngSpace” at Flickr. The video capability in this design preceded the one in the iChat, above. The removable battery is also tantalizing.




4. Propulsion Powered Flying Cycle
Created by designer Norio Fujikawa. This propulsion powered jetbike is a sci-fi concept that Fujikawa has taken to a whole new level in his design. Be sure to check out the additional pictures here



5. ON AIR Wrist Watch


This watch tells time in an extraordinary way. Turkish designer Iskender Asanaliev created a design where the LED hour hand doubles as the digital minute display.



6. Underwater Jet Ski

Nereus is a conceptual design by Mathias Koehler for a watercraft that would allow you to travel on water and dive or submerge for short periods. Wind energy would be used to propel the vehicle which could take the user from a swimming to a diving position through the use of intuitive controls and movements of the upper body. Steering would be through the footrests which are connected to the back rudder.



7. Watch Displaying Time in Sand


Designer Balykin Pavel tells the time with digital sand in this Reddot Design Award winner for 2006.




8. Dream Sneaker


French Industrial Designer Lysandre Follet gives us a pair of dream sneakers: a Nike slip-on that looks as light as air. Additional sneaker designs from the artist can be found here.





9. Innovative Mouse Design


The Alien Mouse from designer Mizanur Rahman sports an exciting construction composed of eight soft gel and cellulose pieces which are meant to not only support the hand and wrist, but the arm as well. The multi-piece design was envisioned to help combat repetitive strain injury (RSI) with a vibrator underneath the mouse for extra comfort.



10. Incredible LED Watch

This watch was created by Hironao Tsuboi and developed by the studio found here. The watch looks like it’s all wristband until the digital display lights up.



11. The iRing


This design created by Victor Soto is meant to control the Playback functionality of your iPod/iPhone device wirelessly through the use of a ring that you wear on your finger. The touch-sensitive function strip and the battery life of 12 hours make the iRing an object of intense desire.



12. Digital Mp3 Concept

The designer Nuno Teixeira has created a wireless Mp3 player with soft surfaces and no wires to get in your way.



13. Modern Rocking Wheel Chair


The Rocking Wheel Chair is a modern interpretation of a traditional rocking chair by Mathias Koehler. The near circular form seen from the side is what makes the design so unique. The upper portion features a reading light.



14. Creative Cigarette Case


This packaging concept for Kent was created and developed by Balykin Pavel. The new triangle shape with round corners looks very unique and can fit more easily into a pocket.




15. 4D Watch

This sleek 4D Watch was created by Balykin Pavel. It has 4 square screens to display hours, minutes, seconds and date information. The metallic finish and a strong magnetic grip closure complete the picture.









16. The USBee




The USBee was designed to prevent the damage to USB drives seen so often with conventional USB use. The elastic neck will bend when pushed in any axis. This also means that it can fit into tight spaces where other USB drives dare not go. The lines at the end keep USBee cool and ergonomically pleasing. Designed by Serbian designer Damjan Stankovic.













17. Polygon Concept Bike




The Polygon concept bike was designed by Reindy Allendra. Inspired by the design of human DNA, this bike has controls for your iPod/MP3 Player built in to the steering area.













18. Spokeless Wheels Bike




This bike concept was created by Bradford Waugh. The concept completely replaces the traditional gear system of a mainstream bike with one that allows for spokeless wheels.













19. Home Theatre Chair




Identita is a chair concept designed for a home cinema. Hakan Bogazpinar brings us a home theatre seating solution that foregoes the traditional chair for a seating solution that is completely adjustable and ergonomic.













20. Embrio – Bombardier’s Segway Killer




Embrio was created by Bombardier as their answer to the Segway. They utilize similar gyroscope technology to keep riders aloft, but with a much cooler design that Bombardier hopes will attract a younger demographic. It also uses one less wheel than the Segway and is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. See Martin Aubé’s concept sketch, third from top, on this page.













21. Audi Shark – Flying Sportscar




This impressive concept design by Kazim Doku is a flying sportscar. Meant to combine the raciness of motorcycles with the sleekness of aircraft, the Audi shark is the answer to our collective sci-fi dreams. This award-winning concept design is a two-seater that offers its passengers “strong sensations and high levels of safety”.













22. Flee




Flee is a concept by Hakan Bogazpinar which takes the idea of a tossable camera a few steps further. Bogazpinar has incorporated a tail into the design to keep the camera oriented properly and Bluetooth so that pictures it takes can be sent back to your mobile device in real time. When the “flee” is thrown in the air, it takes photos at customizable time intervals.













23. Eolos Pipe




The Eolos was also designed by Hakan Bogazpinar. This elegant pipe has two major features. When the basket portion of the pipe turns completely black as shown in the picture, the nicotine level is critical and the filter must be changed. The portion of the pipe that holds the tobacco is constructed with heat insulating composite, ensuring that the pipe is always cool to the touch.




4. The Grasshopper Electric Bike


This bike was the winner of the ‘merit prize’ in the 12th International Bicycle Design Competition and it was designed by David Gonçalves. The Grasshopper is a foldable electric bike which can also be easily carried when not in use. The folding bike is easily stored and recharged at home.

29. High End Public Telephone




This design by Nuno Teixeira adopts a minimalist approach to a high end public phone.













30. Universal Charging Dock




The Stream concept by Barton Smith consists of Experience Modules (Media, Memories, Connections, Documents, Creations, Games), a Core Component, Component Modules (processors, memory, graphics, power), a 3.5” Portable Display and Charging Cradle and Universal Charging Base. This product separates computer functions into six categories called ‘experiences’. Currently, if a user wishes to purchase a computer purely for documenting and internet they must accept that it will come with processing power and features well beyond these needs. With the Stream concept users would purchase only the Connections and Documents modules as well as the Core Component to perform only the desired functions. The Connections module also acts as a phone. Visit the product pagefor more information – there is lots of it.













31. Tima




Tima is a watch concept by Julien Bergignat that allows you to have both a digital display and a classic view of the time. Both displays can be adjusted simultaneously to show the same hour or two different time zones.

The NOCS MP3 docking station from Nuno Teixeira combines top-notch functionality with an integrated amplifier and tall (43.3″) speakers to deliver superb sound quality.













35. Peripheral Vision Eyeglasses




The Nike Hindsight gives bicyclists a pair of bifocals for their peripheral vision. By using Fresnel lenses on the sides, riders can detect motion in a field of vision beyond the normal human limit of 180º. The obvious benefit is in the early warning of approaching vehicles, but a less obvious advantage is reducing the necessary head rotation to check behind. By Billy May.













36. Time Tuner




Time Tuner is a table clock which plays music that you can upload via a USB cable. It it also a programmable alarm clock that will work with your uploaded music. Designed byMehmet Gozetlik. The Time Tuner is based on the linear flow of time and is using one single indicator for both minutes and hours. The light of the numbers turns on when this indicator starts to move along and the lines between the lightened numbers of the clock and the indicator shows the minute. The minutes are shown in double lines group; one for quarters and the other for 10 minutes for a convenient time reading. The gray line indicates the time of the alarm and it is shorter than the red line, which shows the time.

Computer, keyboard, and projector all in one device. Use the back of the airline seat in front of you as your digital display. The laptop without the lap.













40. Credit Card Piggy Bank




Created by Denis Bostandzic. The Credit Card Piggy Bank could be used privately to transfer money to your credit card, or publicly as a means of donation collection.













41. Suspension Lamp




The PALA suspension lamp is made of high-density expanded polyurethane. Provides a pleasant, indirect light.













42. Steampunk My GPS




The GPS Pathquest was designed to eliminate the need to ask for directions. A double-screen display unit which is constructed to look like a compass with E-Ink for conserving battery power is tricked out with brass accents that satisfy our inner Steampunks. Pocket-sized and discreet, the PathQuest relies on Google Maps for navigation. Designed by Kyle Fleischhacker.





















43. Sleek EGG Phone




The Egg Phone by Roman Tubl offers incredible features like the screen which turns opaque once the phone is inactive or turned off. There is also a USB connector at the bottom of the phone which makes it easy to connect this phone to any device for data storage.

Best yet, it comes completely decked out with a couple of DJ decks and mixer.













49. Aerodynamic Concept Car




This is an airflow concept design by Pierre Sabas. It features smooth and contoured lines that run throughout the entire car. The artist writes: “I believe that space sensation doesn’t depend on the size of the volume we are in but on the perception we have of the environment.

88. Elegant Water Purifier




This water purification device idea combines two things we love – simple design and reuseable water bottles. A user simply fills the BPA-free bottle with tap water, and, like a french press, pushes down on the water filter. Purified water can then be sipped from the container. Simple, elegant, and easy to use – three qualities we love in design – and it’s great for people who want to quench their thirst on the go, even if all that is available is a questionable water source. Designed by Gretha Oost, Paul Charlwood & Andrew Howley.

It’s hooked up to some futuristic electronics and can tell you how “polluted” you were that day. There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog. Designed by Slava Saakyan.













98. Have A Different Car Everyday




The MOY Concept car was made for a generation used to using media to express themselves. The idea is everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to their vehicle wirelessly or share it with others thru a website or even email. For those lacking creative skill, there’s a slew of templates to choose from. The car is always connected so imagine dynamically changing your vehicle’s skin in motion. Designed by Elvis Tomljenovic.













99. Escape Into Your Cave




There are times that we wish we could have a little more privacy, retreating into our own space of quietness. Adults crave this just as much as children. With Cave, we are given the opportunity to embrace our escape. Created as a bookshelf with its own Cave inside, allowing the user to retreat with a good book, or just sit and relax in their space. The Cave bookshelf is large enough to be used as a divider between rooms creating a wall of separation of my space and yours. Available in two sizes: Children and Adult. Books may be stored on both sides of the bookcase with a cave crawlspace in between. Designed bySakura Adachi.













100. Braun Clever Care Medical Coach




Designers Marc Salagnac, Ludovic Diallo and Cédric Dervillier bring you an electronic valet for your medications with the Braun Clever Care Medical System. We like the design of the touchscreen display. Apparently it not only stores all your medicines, but also syncs your medical records and prescriptions straight from the doctor’s office. It also provides a database to hold all medical records for the entire family and reminds you of appointments and times that you have to take pills.

Excelente artículo de graphicdesignblog, los 10 peores errores que puede cometer un diseñador gráfico

Amplify’d from www.graphicdesignblog.org









































































































 

The most common way for a graphic designer to learn is through trial and error. Especially for young and aspiring graphic designers, who keep on committing mistakes because of lack of experience. You must have heard of the old adage “To err is human”. So the next time you make a mistake, don’t fret over it…instead learn from your blunders.


Having learnt from my mistakes, which I encountered in my career, I wish to educate my fellow designers about some of the errors, which they should avoid in any case. Following are 10 of the most common mistakes that most graphic designers commit in their graphic design careers:


 

1. Working without a Design Brief:




In any graphic design project, the details are necessary to guide a designer through the entire process. Some graphic designers have a bad habit of being overly confident and start the project without acquiring a detailed design brief.  A design brief helps you collect all the information about your clients’ design project. Without knowing your client’s requirements, you simply cannot work on a logo design project.
 

2. Ignoring the Target Audience:


The purpose of graphic design is to visually aid companies in expressing their message to their target market. Hence, if the graphic designers ignore the target audience, they will never be able to create the right design. In order to create relevant designs, you must first analyze the intended customers for which it is aimed at. Overlooking the target will lead to a weak and aimless design.

 

3. Not maintaining a Contract:




In a graphic designer’s career, salary and payments issues are frequent. When you don’t maintain a contract with your clients, you are likely to be swindled of your hard earned money. I don’t wish to imply that every client has ill-intentions. But some clients have a habit of getting the work done and running away with it without paying the designer.
 

4. Avoiding Contact with the Client:


Some graphic designers feel shy while some are completely ignorant when it comes to staying in touch with the client. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in your professional life is not communicating with your clients properly. By not staying in touch with clients during the project, you make them feel ignored and unwanted. You must take feedbacks from them to avoid any client criticisms in the end.

 

5. Procrastinating:




In any profession, deadlines are extremely crucial to meet. By completing your work on time, you exhibit your determination and sincerity to commitments. Some graphic designers tend to procrastinate on their projects. When they end up falling short of their deadline, they pass off a mediocre design as minimalism design trend. Procrastination will make your clients go away since they expect you to be efficient.
 

6. Not Staying up-to-date:


In this cut-throat competition, it is essential for graphic designers to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of graphic design. As technology upgrades every day, newer and better ways of graphic designing are evolving. Those who fail to catch-up in graphic designing eventually lose the race.

 

7. Not Starting in Black and White:


Some graphic designers fail to understand the importance of starting in black and white. They directly create the colored version of the design. This is a big mistake as one should know how the design looks in black and white because some promotional mediums don’t allow for colors. Hence, what you create in color might not look good in black and white.

 

8. Pass off Plagiarism as Inspiration:




One of the prime qualities of a graphic designer is their ability to be original. Another big blunder you could make as designers is to copy others work. Some designers have a bad habit of passing off what they plagiarize as merely inspiration. While you may get away with it sometimes, but in the long run, your credibility as a genuine and original designer will be badly affected.
 

9. Neglecting the Power of Simplicity:


Some graphic designers believe that if they add more effects in design, it will become attractive. But the reality is otherwise. Adding too many elements to a design makes it complicated and messy to look at. They often neglect the power and significance of simplicity. Instead of making intricate and difficult to comprehend designs, designers must prefer simple concept that the target audience will remember.

 

10. Lose Confidence:




The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually fear you will make one. Be it graphic designing or any other profession, confidence is crucial in the success of your career. One of the gravest mistake you can make as a graphic designer is to lose hope in the middle of a project. There will be times when you will get tired of working on a project or be unsatisfied with the results. But never give up and carry on until you achieve your desired results.

El transporte público de Málaga se pone a la cabeza en materia de servicios de información al usuario

Aplicaciones gratuitas basadas en tecnología de realidad aumentada permiten localizar las paradas de autobús
Lunes, 11/07/2011
NEXOBUS.com / El alcalde de Málaga, Francisco de la Torre, junto al concejal de Movilidad y Accesibilidad, Raúl López, la directora general de Innovación de Orange España, Alicia Calvo, y el director general de Administraciones Públicas de Orange, Manuel González, han presentado dos nuevas iniciativas puestas en marcha por la EMT.En colaboración con Orange, se ha desarrollado una aplicación que funciona desde cualquier teléfonosmartphone, o incluso tableta, de cualquier operador de telefonía, a través de los cuales los usuarios de autobús de la ciudad de Málaga, residentes o turistas, podrán conocer la localización de todas las paradas de autobús de la EMT más cercanas al lugar donde se encuentren. Asimismo, la aplicación les indicará cómo llegar a la misma y el tiempo de llegada del próximo autobús, todo ello de forma gratuita. Se trata de aplicaciones basadas en la tecnología de realidad aumentada.
El acceso a la información se realiza a través de un interfaz de realidad aumentada que permite superponer, en la imagen captada por la cámara del móvil, la información geolocalizada de las paradas de autobús más cercanas. Cada parada aparecerá como una imagen que se añade a la imagen real que el usuario está viendo en ese momento, por lo que el usuario podrá utilizar la solución a modo de radar y con visión 360º para orientarse sobre dónde se encuentran las paradas y a qué distancia están respecto de su posición. Adicionalmente, el usuario podrá conocer para la parada seleccionada el tiempo de llegada del próximo autobús que pase por ella.  Con un solo click, se dispone de la información sobre un mapa de la posición actual del usuario y de la ubicación de la parada seleccionada.
La aplicación está disponible para terminales iPhone (3 y 4), Android y Symbian (Nokia), independientemente del operador móvil. Con tal fin, el usuario deberá descargar gratuitamente la aplicación denominada 'Autobuses Málaga'. También, desde la página web de la EMT www.emtmalaga.es se habilitarán enlaces a todas las plataformas para facilitar su descarga.
La segunda iniciativa, desarrollada íntegramente por la EMT, permite a los usuarios de teléfonos móviles (smartphones) el empleo de la cámara de fotos incorporada en el terminal para la captura de un código de barras denominado BI-DI. Una vez efectuada la lectura, la aplicación reenvía directamente a la página web de la EMT donde se muestra en la pantalla del móvil el tiempo de paso de los próximos autobuses por dicha parada. Todo ello en una operación que supone escasos segundos y es completamente gratuita. Además de suponer una novedad tecnológica, esta nueva iniciativa implica el ahorro del tradicional SMS que hasta ahora había que enviar para conocer los tiempos de llegada de los autobuses, y que tenían un coste de 0,15 euros por mensaje (precio del operador).
Es necesario disponer de un terminal (smartphone), iPhone (3 y 4), Android y Symbian (Nokia), independientemente del operador móvil, dotado de cámara y con acceso a Internet; descargar un programa de lectura de códigos BI-DI. Una vez en la parada, el usuario deberá abrir el programa de lectura de códigos en su teléfono y acercar el móvil al propio código situado en el panel de la marquesina o poste. En segundos y sin hacer nada más, será redirigido a la web de la EMT  donde aparecerá el tiempo de llegada del próximo autobús a la parada en la que se encuentra.

Realidad aumentada
La realidad aumentada consiste en la agregación de información virtual a objetos, lugares o situaciones reales, bien sea a través de una visión directa o indirecta del entorno físico, creándose una realidad mixta que aumenta la cantidad de información disponible. Permite captación de elementos reales que nos rodean y podemos ofrecer información acerca de éstos en tiempo real. El teléfono sólo necesita: cámara de fotos;  GPS;  brújula y acelerómetro.

¿Es acaso Blippar el futuro de la publicidad?

Blippar es una plataforma de realidad aumentada dirigida a los anunciantes. Aunque por el momento este reconocimiento de imágenes tan sólo está disponible para dispositivos móviles que corran sistema operativo Android, pronto lo estará para aquellos con iOS.

¿Acaso será - como dice esta plataforma - el futuro de la publicidad? Eso está por verse, mientras tanto, dale play al demo que te dejamos arriba en un HTC Desire.

  • Diseño limpio, la tendencia para 2011

Diseño limpio, la tendencia para 2011


publicado a la‎(s)‎ hace 6 minutos por Francis Ortiz Ocaña

No han pasado varios años desde el inicio de internet, desde principios de los noventa, cuando sólo unos pocos sitios web estaban en línea y todo el diseño se regía por la Comic Sans y los colores primarios se han producido una serie de cambios que han hecho una transformación completa de la forma en que las páginas web deben ser tomadas.
En 2010, los lugares llenos de detalles, pesados ​​bloques de texto, las paletas de color oscuro y foto tras foto comenzó a ver su declive cuando la gente empieza a optar por las interfaces más limpias, de manera más mínimalista. Por un mínimo sentido de que no somos mediocres, sino todo lo contrario , un mejor uso de los diagramas sin saturar las páginas con información irrelevante.
designtrends1101
El tema de Jane Doe por Curt Ziegler es un buen ejemplo de esta tendencia nueva y limpia, el sitio tiene una paleta de colores muy limitada, SansSerif en todas partes y una textura muy sutil en el fondo. Más allá de eso nos damos cuenta de cómo los espacios limpios no se ve como una expresión de la pereza del autor, sino como un derecho de adivinar, la información está bien distribuida y la navegabilidad es completamente funcional.
designtrends1102
El Sitio web InfiVision se tomó las cosas un poco más por las ilustraciones utilizando serif y un fondo de color. Pero incluso con estos detalles el sitio se mantiene limpio, la diagramación es excelente y las fuentes se ven bien. Lo que este sitio nos enseña es que se puede conseguir un diseño atrevido sin tener que hacer las cosas parezcan extrañas o pasadas de moda.
designtrends1103
Mecánica de la imagen es un sitio web dedicado a desarrollar aplicaciones móviles y ofrecer servicios de diseño en general. Su sitio web es un claro ejemplo de la calidad de su trabajo,  podrás encontrar toda la información dentro de una interfaz bonita y elegante, donde la interactividad es todo, muchas de las áreas blancas y tipos de letra negrita completan la identidad del sitio.

  • Servicios Basados en Localización: nuevas oportunidades de negocio para las telecomunicaciones

Servicios Basados en Localización: nuevas oportunidades de negocio para las telecomunicaciones

Autor: Manuel Muñoz Sánchez, director de Delaware.
Los servicios basados en localización (Location-based services, LBS) surgieron como una de las posibilidades que abría al mundo de los servicios de telecomunicaciones la integración de las tecnologías de movilidad y de geolocalización.
Originados en un entorno de Internet, la oferta inicial alrededor de ellos consistía sobre todo en la posibilidad de utilizar el dispositivo móvil en forma de callejero, mediante la integración de una aplicación de mapas con un sistema de localización geográfica. Los fabricantes de hardware comenzaron a integrar soluciones basadas en la localización dentro de sus dispositivos, con aplicaciones como la gestión de flotas, la navegación por GPS. Algunas empresas punteras comenzaron a desarrollar proyectos propios, en los que se integraban la capacidades de los entornos móviles con Internet.
Un hito en esta integración del mundo Internet con el de la geolocalización y los dispositivos móviles ha venido de la mano de Google. Dentro de su aplicación Google Maps para móviles incluye una aplicación de localización que puede funcionar incluso con dispositivos que no cuenten con GPS incorporado, y que aprovecha la información sobre las células de la red de telefonía móvil para localizar móviles. Sin embargo, Google, con su estrategia, no apura totalmente las posibilidades de esta nueva tecnología, dejando abierto un importante nicho de oportunidades de negocio.
Según un informe de la consultora sueca Berg Insight, el número de dispositivos móviles que incorporarán GPS en 2012 alcanzará la cifra de 560 millones. Este mercado potencial abre al puerta a la comercailización de un amplio abanico de servicios móviles que aprovechan las ventajas de la geolocalización, y que van desde aplicaciones de negocio (“business to business”) a aplicaciones para el mercado de consumo. Sin ánimo de exhaustividad, se pueden clasificar en:
-    Servicios de navegación, información de tráfico, etc.
-    Información de localización: aplicaciones tipo “páginas amarillas”, búsqueda enriquecida de contenidos..
-    Servicios de seguimiento: gestión de flotas, seguimiento de activos, localización de personas
-    Servicios de entretenimiento: mensajería instantánea, comunidades, juegos basados en localización
-    Servicios de emergencia, publicidad basada en localización, etc.
Las previsiones de mercado son que en los próximos años, el mercado de navegadores con GPS que únicamente soportan aplicaciones cartográficas alcance un punto de madurez y comience su declive, dando paso a una nueva generación de dispositivos móviles que ofrecerán, como una funcionalidad más, la aplicación de navegación. Este año 2009, los smartphones van a representar ya el 50% del mercado LBS e irán paulatinamente reemplazando a los navegadores.
Por tanto, hay una clara tendencia a que dispositivos móviles sustituyan a los navegadores. Es el caso del navegador gratuito de Google, basado en publicidad, y que una vez más revolucionará el mercado. Esto ha provocado ya la caída de las acciones de TomTom y Garmin, del mismo modo que con Google maps se espera que este nuevo servicio ofrezca grandes posibilidades de negocio para empresas de tecnología, capaces de adaptarse a estos cambios tan rápidos.
En busca de la killer application
En ese mismo estudio hace una aproximación a cual será la killer application, la funcionalidad que atraerá en mayor medida la atención de los consumidores y que hará que estos se inclinen por adquirir dispositivos móviles con geolocalización. Una mayoría de encuestados señala la posibilidad de contar con información actualizada de ayuda en la navegación (tales como información sobre atascos en tiempo real, localización de aparcamientos, ayuda para acceder a instalaciones complejas como aeropuertos o estadios) lo que más les atrae de los nuevos servicios y dispositivos. La funcionalidad de búsqueda rápida de información local o de descarga fácil de mapas actualizados son dos aplicaciones también muy valoradas. Por último, las posibilidades de interacción con comunidades virtuales, tales como acceso a redes sociales.
Desde el punto de vista de operadores y proveedores de servicio, la principal dificultad que surge, al igual que ha pasado en muchos servicios on-line, es desarrollar un modelo de negocio viable sobre dichos servicios, o dicho de otro modo, el reto consiste en lograr que el usuario/cliente esté dispuesto a pagar por el servicio una vez que el periodo de prueba gratuito finalice.
Hay una serie de elementos clave que pueden ser determinantes a la hora de lograr que el consumidor esté dispuesto a ello, y que van desde el desarrollo de un interfaz amigable y fácil de usar hasta el diseño de una oferta de contenidos realmente útiles, pasando por un esquema tarifario que resulte atractivo para el usuario.
Compleja cadena de valor
Los servicios basados en localización presentan una cadena de valor compleja en la que intervienen numerosos agentes, ya que la prestación de dichos servicios exige la concurrencia de operadores de telecomunicaciones, proveedores de contenidos, agregadores, fabricantes de dispositivos, etc.
En un primer eslabón de la cadena de valor nos encontramos con los proveedores y desarrolladores de contenidos, como pueden ser empresas desarrolladoras de cartografía digital o de directorios comerciales. En el vértice de esta cadena de valor se encuentra el operador de telecomunicaciones, que en colaboración con los desarrolladores de hardware/software proporcionan las plataformas tecnológicas y de comunicaciones a través de las cuales se va a prestar el servicio, es decir, el canal, el “medio” a través del cual se canalizará la aplicación. Por último nos encontramos con las empresas comercializadoras de estos servicios, y que pueden ser desde agregadores de contenidos a compañías multimedia que incluyen los servicios como parte de su oferta.
