      Best of Galaxy Store Awards 2019 Winner: Get Outside with Niantic Labs' Greg Borrud

      we continue to celebrate the top performing apps in creativity, quality, design, and innovation, as we interview winners of our best of galaxy store awards. today, we're talking with greg borrud from niantic about building games that take players out of their homes and into the real world. tell us about niantic niantic is probably best known as the developer of pokémon go, but we are much more than that! niantic is an augmented reality company that helps get people out into the world - exploring with others and having meaningful and engaging experiences. we are both a game developer/publisher as well as a technology company focused on bringing new games and experiences to the world through location-based and ar technology. can you share how niantic has pioneered real world gaming experiences? it started with ingress - a game that asked you to go out and battle for control of points of interest in the real world. this then exploded with the launch of pokémon go in 2016. we all remember packs of people searching for pokémon throughout their neighborhoods. we have continued to evolve our real world platform with more information about the world (we’ve mapped hundreds of millions of places around the world so far), with a focus on creating new gameplay experiences that encourage people to go outside and explore. your premise has been to include a combination of maps and gaming in your app development. can you share how this is done? we’ve built a robust platform that is a map of all the unique and interesting places in our world. this map is curated and updated by our players all the time and we strive to keep it as accurate as we can. that forms the foundation for our new game development. we want to have a wide variety of games and experiences, so we don't have too many restrictions on what a niantic product can be. we want to let the creativity of our teams and our developer partners lead us to entirely new gameplay concepts. what programming languages do you use in development of your games? we use a variety of languages depending on what part of the code our engineers are working in. we primarily develop in c# for the player’s device and java for our servers. occasionally we'll also use c++ or a scripting language like python. at niantic, your work represents the culmination of decades of obsessing about geospatial technology. how important is this technology to your game experiences? critically important. our games are a reflection of the real world. they literally take you outside, exploring neighborhoods and cities, so without precise mapping, we couldn’t build what we offer today. we often hear stories from our pokémon go community about how walking with our games has uncovered hidden gems and historic monuments in their neighborhoods that they never knew existed. our next area of focus is building a dynamic 3d map of the world so that we can progressively layer in augmented reality and other features into our games to make exploring the world more interesting and fun. at the end of the day, the game/experience needs to be fun no matter what technology it is built on top of. you have developed some of the biggest game titles, including pokémon go and harry potter: wizards unite, winner of the best of galaxy store awards 2019 for best ar game. how does augmented reality enhance your games and bring them to life? ar allows us to turn the world outside your door into one of the most amazing, dynamic game boards you can imagine. through ar, your world can be filled with pokémon or wizards. and we’re just in the infancy of what ar can offer. we’re excited to share some of the new ar technologies we are cooking up. your games are highly rated on the galaxy store. how do you maintain your games' quality? we try to learn from and listen to our players as much as we can. although it’s impossible to please everyone all of the time, we do take player feedback very seriously, and we are constantly striving to improve our games by listening, then iterating fast. how has the galaxy store badge supported your game discovery on the galaxy store? the galaxy store badge is supported on a variety of our marketing materials, including the product's website, so players know the game is available on their preferred platform. with all of your success, do you still experience challenges when developing your games? that is one of the great things about making games - there are always new challenges. as technologies, devices, and player preferences evolve, we are challenged every single day we come to work. you have to love (and live for) challenges if you want to be happy in this industry. are there common errors made by developers while programming games? a common error is not testing in a way that replicates a player’s real experience. when tested in isolation, something might ‘work’. but the key is constant testing while looking through the lens of the players. what advice do you have for indie developers attempting to develop a successful game business? start with a small, simple game loop and build it. get it into the hands of your friends and then iterate. it’s an incredible world for game developers right now, as the ability to build something on your own has never been easier. i’m a firm believer in learning by doing. as you continue to pioneer new technologies and gameplay mechanics, what trends do you expect to see? as our mapping and ar technologies continue to evolve and converge, we envision a 3d map of the world that will truly be the ultimate game board. if we can pair that with wearable devices in the future, we believe we will develop new entertainment experiences unlike anything you have seen before. what is ahead for niantic? we’ve got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the near term. as the end of june nears, we’re fast approaching our first anniversary of harry potter: wizards unite, which put magic in the hands of witches and wizards all around the world last summer. for that product, we’re thinking of some exciting new ways to immerse players in the wizarding world with new upcoming features, content releases, and fun in-game events. the fourth anniversary of pokémon go is also approaching this july, and we’ve reimagined our tentpole pokémon go fest event to be playable by the global player base on july 25-26th, wherever they may be. over the past four years, trainers have accomplished some amazing feats; notably walking a collective 28 billion kilometers and making over 280 billion visits to unique points of interest around the world. in the long term, our ultimate goal is to create meaningful and purposeful gameplay experiences. we think these will come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and to that extent we have more than 10 new games and ar experiences in different stages of development. we hope to release two new titles in the next six months, with a goal to sustain that cadence annually. we hope these experiences will have a long lasting impact on those who play them. thanks to greg borrud for sharing how niantic creates successful game franchises. follow us on twitter @samsung_dev for more developer interviews and tips for building games, apps, and more for the galaxy store. find out more about our best of galaxy store awards.

      FAQ

      faq 1. what can users do with samsung blockchain keystore? with samsung blockchain keystore preloaded on select galaxy devices, users can now easily create a key storage in the secure file system for blockchain transactions. users can run samsung blockchain keystore to check the 12 mnemonic words that correspond to the root seed that is used to derive both public and private keys. when using a decentralized app (dapp) or cryptocurrency wallet that have integrated samsung blockchain keystore sdk, users will be able to confirm their transactions on a secure screen and sign the transaction with a private key. 2. what happens if a user switches from a non-samsung blockchain keystore-supported device to a samsung blockchain keystore-supported device? if the dapp is integrated with a wallet that supports bip39-standard hd-wallet (hierarchical deterministic wallet), such as metamask, dapps will need to make sure that users have saved the 12 to 24 mnemonic words from the wallet. afterwards, users can restore the same wallet on samsung blockchain keystore by entering the 12 to 24 mnemonic words. however, simply installing the same dapp or using smart switch from a non-samsung blockchain keystore supported device to a supported one will not move the user’s account directly. 3. how does the authentication method work? personal identification number (pin) and biometrics authentication like fingerprint are all executed on samsung devices, and are not dependent on any type of network. samsung blockchain keystore will authenticate users via pin or biometrics when a user’s confirmation is needed, such as signing a transaction. 4. how is the key pair generated? samsung blockchain keystore generates the key pair on the device itself and safely stores them on the device. samsung blockchain keystore does not rely on other network or third party to generate these keys. 5. what are mnemonic words? mnemonic words are compatible to bip-39 standard and is the root to creating public and private keys. users can check their mnemonic words, also known as recovery phrase, in samsung blockchain keystore settings. the recovery phrase is the only way a user can recover the wallet when a device is lost or stolen. 6. what is tui? trusted user interface: allows users to make an input and show display safely, in a trusted execution environment (tee). supported by samsung knox (a mobile security platform). samsung blockchain keystore leverages this tui to help users to enter a pin and confirm transactions with greater security. 7. what should i do if i get an error code, error_package_signature_verification_failed? it means your app does not have the authorization to access samsung blockchain keystore. developers can use developer mode to bypass the app verification and enable apis. however, for your release version, an api key, issued by samsung blockchain keystore team, will need to be included in your app to work properly. 8. how can i send a signed transaction? sending a signed transaction is not in the scope of samsung blockchain keystore. developers will need to setup their own nodes or use other public nodes. 9. can i test samsung blockchain keystore by downloading it from galaxy store? no, samsung blockchain keystore is preloaded on selected devices only. if your device is not supported, then you won’t be able to find it in the galaxy store either. developers will need to test and integrate on the supported devices, or try out the remote test lab in samsung developers site to experience devices needed for samsung blockchain keystore sdk integration. 10. what is the purpose of a seed hash? a seed hash aims to help developers distinguish if a user has setup samsung blockchain keystore and whether the root seed has been changed or not. every time a root seed (or a wallet) is created, a random string, or a “seed hash” value will be created and returned to the developers. this is not related to the contents of the seed, but developers can use the seed hash to check if a user’s root seed has been changed. if the root seed has been changed due to user deleting and re-creating a wallet, then the developers will need to get user’s address again from samsung blockchain keystore and link it to your android app, since a different root seed implies a different address. 11. is there a plan to support other cryptocurrencies as well as expand supported regions? yes, we plan to support more cryptocurrencies and expand supported regions in the near future.

      Adapt Your App to Foldable Devices for an Optimal User Experience

      foldable technology for mobile is a groundbreaking experience not only for users but also for developers. the presence of many form factors like immersive display, app continuity, flex mode and ux optimization challenge developers to think outside of the box to adapt to this technology. in this blog, we discuss a checklist to provide a better understanding about the adaptation, modification and design changes that are required. so, let's go through each point, one-by-one. large screen optimization samsung foldable devices have two different physical screens: the cover display and the main display. as the cover display is much smaller than the main display, large screen optimization is one of the key areas of designing ux for foldable devices. in a nutshell, your app can utilize the extra space in the main display by showing more information. just having a different ui design with the same information can do the trick of optimization as well. large screen optimization of a note app to implement this scenario, define different layout files for each display using the alternate resources option. for example, if you want to define a different ui for the main display, create a new directory named layout-sw600dp under the res directory and then create an xml file named activity_main. then add the layout code as required. ui is designed separately for the main display and the cover display flex mode optimization in galaxy z series devices, samsung introduced a new mode called flex mode. this mode allows users to use apps while the book-like phone is partially folded. creative design can really make your app stand out from others in flex mode. google duo app in flex mode in galaxy z series devices using google’s new jetpack library, windowmanager, you can detect the current posture of a galaxy z series device and update the ui accordingly by following these steps: step 1: add the dependencies in the build.gradle. implementation "androidx.window:window:1.0.0-alpha01" step 2: define a windowmanager instance. val windowmanager = windowmanager(this, null) step 3: register the devicestate change listener. the listener notices changes in the device state (for example closed, opened, half_opened). windowmanager.registerdevicestatechangecallback( mainthreadexecutor /* executor */, callback /* consumer<devicestate> */ ) step 4: write a callback function to check devicestate.posture to get the current posture of the device. if the posture is posture_half_opened, the app ui gets updated for flex mode. val callback = consumer<devicestate> { devicestate -> if (devicestate.posture == devicestate.posture_half_opened) { // display is folded, show split ux } else { // display is not folded, show full screen ux } } check out the codelab challenge on flex mode for a more hands-on experience. app continuity while folding and unfolding the device, the app must prevent data loss thus ensuring its continuity. this is achievable by using the onsaveinstancestate() method. first, save the data to retain the current state with onsaveinstancestate(). @override public void onsaveinstancestate(bundle savedinstancestate) { //save the current state } then, restore the data in the oncreate() function. @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { if (savedinstancestate != null) { //restore the previous state } } stopwatch app continuity while unfolding device to have a better understanding of implementing app continuity, see the codelab challenge on app continuity. responsive ui layout to adapt to new form factors such as a diverse aspect ratio, flex mode, multi-window, and pop-up window, utilize the following guidelines : design a responsive ui layout for your app using constraintlayout. define the activity of your app as resizable, to ensure the maximum compatibility of your app with both the cover display and the main display of the device. set the resizableactivity attribute to true in manifest.xml. <activity android:name=".mainactivity" android:resizeableactivity="true"> … </activity> responsive layout of the spotify app cutout and punch hole of the main display the main display of a galaxy z fold is covered by an area on the top-right side called the “l-cut” whereas the galaxy z fold2 and fold3 have a punch hole in the upper right side and the galaxy z flip devices have a punch hole in the middle. some portion of your app’s ui could be covered by the l-cut or the punch hole. content is covered by the l-cut in a galaxy fold device in landscape mode to avoid such a scenario, depending on your ui content style, define a display cutout mode. for example, the content is letterboxed in landscape mode whereas it is rendered into the cutout area in portrait mode by default. define the display cutout mode in the style.xml as shortedges so that your content is rendered into the cutout area in both portrait and landscape modes. <item name="android:windowlayoutindisplaycutoutmode">shortedges</item> display cutout in the default mode and the shortedges mode, respectively last but not the least, you can test your app on our device cloud, samsung remote test lab, to make sure you have implemented all the checkpoints discussed in this blog. you can also participate in our codelab challenges to have a clear understanding of the implementation details. in this blog we have discussed about how to adapt your app for foldable devices. we hope it is a good guide for you to start with. you can also check out samsung’s official documentation and reach out to our developer community if you have any queries.

roger kibbe 00:44 well, i guess i can answer that question two ways. well, one, i'm a husband and a father to two teenage daughters. oh, boy. but uh, yes, so it keeps me pretty busy these days. but professionally, i'm a senior developer evangelist for samsung bixby and what does that mean? it really means i go out and talk to third party developers and agencies and companies and encourage them to go build upon the bixby platform. you know, i have a long career in technology been doing it for about 25 years and salting. i've been a technology architect, technology strategy i found in my own startup, and i've been in voice for the last several years about the last 18 months or so less than 18 months with samsung, tony morelan 01:27 right about the same time that i did. and interesting. we both have the same title at samsung me being a senior developer evangelist for the developer program, doing something similar to what you're doing, you know, going out and teaching developers and designers how to create for samsung, so pretty cool. we're along the same lines. roger kibbe 01:42 yeah, i think it's an it's an amazing job, actually kind of a combination of you got to be familiar with the technology. but you also have your you know, love to go talk to people and understand what they're doing and figuring out how technology can help solve their problems or help enable them to do something amazing. what a combination. tony morelan 02:03 exactly. so tell me a little bit how you actually got your start at samsung. i heard that you actually won a contest at our developer conference. and that's what put you on the radar at the folks at samsung. so tell me a bit about that. roger kibbe 02:19 yes, i heard about bixby in 2018. it was still a private beta in early 2018. and i was doing my own voice consulting and my own voice start up then. and i thought, hey, there's this new platform. they have this hackathon. i love to play with new technology. i'm one of those people that pies the first piece of new technology too much to my wife's chagrin often. so i went downloaded it and started playing with it. and i realized this is something really cool and doing things in a different way than what the other voice platforms are doing. so i built this capsule is a voice application and bixby terminal technology, it was all about just being a can i recycle this? can i compost this? do i need to throw it in the trash? right question i often get from my daughters is dad, what bend is this going to is and then scratch my head, you know, three bins and i want to be a responsible citizen and put it in the right thing. sure. and i thought, hey, you know, that's a pretty good use case for voice. because you want to know that right away. so built that for bixby. we had this hackathon. i got enough finals. and then in the sdc, samsung developers conference in 2018, all of us finalists were invited to go and then we presented on stage and i ended up winning that hackathon. wow. yeah. and then that led to i met adam shire and a bunch of the bixby people had some good conversations. one thing led to another deeper longer conversations that was in i believe, september 20 18th, and in january 2019, i joined samsung are joined this labs subsidiary of samsung is behind bixby. tony morelan 04:04 you've been in this tech industry for about you said 2025 years assuming then that your education is in the tech field. did you? was that what you majored in when you're in college? roger kibbe 04:13 no good question. no, i actually have a psychology degree. well, that comes in handy with two teenage daughters. it does, indeed actually comes in handy in a lot of ways, actually. because, you know, i think our success personally and professionally is, you know, interacting with people and in a lot of ways, but, uh, yeah, you know, i have a deep interest in human behavior and how that works. and so i decided to major in psychology, but i've always been, you know, there's the geek in me. and i've always played with technology. and so for instance, i took a couple classes pewter science classes for fun, including a lisp class. so if anybody knows lisp out there as a listener, that's usually not such a language that you to equate with fun, but i had a lot of fun with it. tony morelan 04:58 expand a little bit more on listen, what is that? roger kibbe 05:02 well, it's a programming language that is used i would think pretty much only in academia by today, but it's often used to teach kind of the fundamental was i don't know what modern cs classes are probably moved beyond it, kind of fundamentals of programming. and there's a lot of what's called recursion in it, where a function that you write calls itself. so it gets very complicated. if you're a developer, you know what i'm talking about, if you're not a developer, there's kind of this circular reasoning where it kind of just goes in circles and calls itself and calls itself so it's, it gets very confusing in a lot of ways at first, but, uh, it's actually a really good way to learn a lot of the fundamentals of programming. i done programming for that. i started in high school, actually, so graduate college, you actually get right into the tech industry just mentioned a little bit about this startup that you had created, and then how that led you into, you know, your interest in voice. yeah, and you know, a little but it gets back to my thinking about my whole technology career, i served as a consultant and i worked in technology strategy for gapping for many years, and i've always looked for technology to go do something for us, and then get out of the way. and one of the challenges i see with technology today is often yeah, it's incredibly powerful and does something useful for us or something we want it to do, but then it doesn't really get out of the way. um, and when i first saw voice and start playing with voice assistance, i was like, i didn't get it at first. but then after playing with him more and more as like, you know what this is, this kind of fulfills that kind of lifelong ambition of, hey, go get something done and get out of the way. it's the best tech i know for getting out of the way. so in back in 2017, i you know, i had a really good kind of technology job, but the big corporation caught my cushy, cushy, corporate tech job. i decided to get you know, a little bit of an itch, i decided to be a little bit crazy and leave that bounced around a little bit with some startup opportunities and ended up founding my own voice startup with the idea being hey, it's really too hard to build voice applications. today. i'm going to make it much easier for you to do it. or our tagline was wordpress for voice. you know, wordpress is in the web world course. yep, lots of templates makes it easy for small business to get online really easily. we wanted to build that for voice. i will say i think it's still a really good idea. and a lot of ways kind of untapped. but, um, you know, i think there's a saying that ideas are cheap, and execution is hard. i certainly learned that, you know, i think we built a bunch of things, but we weren't fully executing it. so i started veering over into the kind of consulting side and doing my own consulting work and that's when i entered that business. hackathon one nad. and those conversations led to where i currently am. but i'm super happy i did it. it was a it was a great experience. it's something i'd always kind of the back of my head, hey, go off and do your own thing, right? whether succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter. got it. you got to itch that itch. tony morelan 08:17 exactly. i actually once heard that you learn more from failed startups than you do from successful startups. so i too, have ventured into that area. i too, have failed, and lots of great learnings that still come out of that. so you had mentioned adam shire, viv labs, bixby, samsung, kind of tell me this whole relationship, how those all have come together. what exactly is viv lab and who is adam shire? roger kibbe 08:42 yeah. so let me tell you about adam. first, a legend and voice and adam has been working in voice for like 25 years back he worked at stanford sri on voice ah, in the, i guess late 20s. 2008 somewhere around there. they founded a startup called siri and built really what was the first kind of consumer facing voices system? siri most people don't know was originally an app on ios. and then very quickly apple bought it. so adam and his co-founder dead kit law, worked with apple for a couple years and then went to leave because they really wanted to build kind of the next generation of conversational ai and voice assistance. and that's when they founded viv labs and built out the vid labs technology. and then a few years ago, samsung bought viv labs and used it as the foundations of some people called bixby to dotto or the new bixby but the current bixby that's on modern samsung phones, is based upon that viv labs acquisition. so adam is our kind of our technology guru and leader and quite frankly, his vision and where he'd like to see this industry go is a lot of the reason why i chose viv labs because i really, i end is thinking about where voice and conversational ai can go. tony morelan 10:07 wonderful. so let me ask you a quick question about bixby itself. can you tell me where the name bixby came from? roger kibbe 10:14 that's a great question. and i'm going to tell you i actually don't know. why 10:18 don't we ask bixby oh, roger kibbe 10:20 might as well bixby know best. tony morelan 10:24 hey, bixby where did the name bixby come from? 10:28 i've heard that in some cultures bixby means one with great intelligence who raps. maybe that's why samsung chosen for me. roger kibbe 10:35 very good. there we go. so bixby is not a name. that's a samsung invented that name on the original voice assistant. samsung has a little bit of a history there's something called s voice. that then became bixby and the original bixby is really largely focused on controlling the phone and not so much a general purpose voice assistant. and then when they bought vans, it was really to build that into general purpose voice assistant. i will say that the name bixby is a good name for a voice assistant. why is that? yeah, good question. um, so when you say hi bixby or alexa, or hey, google, what happens is on the local device, it has to understand that phrase, and then most of the rest of the processing of anything you say, really is done in the cloud. but you need local processing power on that device to say, hey, i heard that pacific wake up word. okay. and now i'll wake up and i'll start listening. in order to do that, on the local device, you need to be saying something that's kind of got the right kind of syllables got enough syllables and has a mixture of vowels and consonants that make it easy to understand that term, because you don't want to wake up for a false wake word that's a problem in the industry, is i say something and your voices is it wakes up and you weren't addressing bixby is a really good term because of that consonants and vowels and the way they're mixed in there. and then also just, it's short. but phonetically, the way it sounds is pretty distinct. and so whoever came up with that word, they were definitely thinking about this. when they came up with that as the as the wake word for samsung's voice assistant. tony morelan 12:22 got it? and it's a pretty unique word too. so i would think that it's not getting confused with maybe you know, something that could be more common. roger kibbe 12:28 yeah, although there is a bixby there's a city called bixby i believe in oklahoma and then down in just south of us around monterrey. there's a bixby bridge. so it's fairly unique, but there is actually there are other big cities in the world. tony morelan 12:45 i did not know that. roger kibbe 12:48 and build bixby on and bill bixby played the incredible hulk. oh, yes, he did. yeah. so interesting. okay. so not a common word, but there are other uses the word bixby. bixby says interesting. tony morelan 13:03 so now you had mentioned that you know bixby was available on samsung devices. can you talk a little bit about other devices? is it just strictly for samsung devices for their phones? or is it beyond the phone? roger kibbe 13:14 yeah, so is for samsung devices right now. here's the situation right now. so right now you can go and develop a bixby capsule. and you can deploy it on a samsung phone. and there's a marketplace for end users of the phones to go and enable your capsule. think about market. the marketplace is the equivalent of the play store, the samsung store, the ios, the app store, there but it's for voice applications capsules, as we call them. so that's all enabled for a phone so you can build from end to end to get it out to consumers on the phones. and that's the bixby marketplace. that's the biggest marketplace. what you can do right now though, is you can build for the tv samsung is the world's biggest tv manufacturer by a pretty significant margin. the watch, we're the world's second largest smartphone watch manufacturer, and for smart appliances. so we have a refrigerator that has a screen on it. it's a smart appliance. and we're we have huge market share and appliances. so you can build for all those devices, which to my mind is super exciting because i think voice assistants currently have been kind of driven primarily by smart speakers. that's the first thing they introduced and now they're on phones. but that's led to a little bit of kind of smart, speaker centric or phone centric thinking about what you can do. when you add voice to the tv, or the watch or an appliance. you start thinking of whole different and unique use cases where voice can unlock some pretty rich functionality. as you can say, i could wayne go on and on about this i get pretty excited about the opportunities on those additional devices. and so you can develop today in those, and in the marketplace is coming later this year. so super exciting stuff coming from us. tony morelan 15:12 okay, wonderful. so tell me a little bit about you'd mentioned the i know there are their voice assistant, you know, the application software out there. how is bixby different than its competitors? roger kibbe 15:24 um, so first, i already talked about all those different devices. yep. right. and i think that that's a key differentiator. and let me dive in a little bit one because one, i'm particularly excited. i'm particularly excited about the tv. and why i'm excited about that is i look at my so my two teenage daughters, they don't watch tv without their smartphone in her hand. so and they will stop the tv and play with a smartphone. they want interactive tv, and it doesn't really exist today. and so they use a smartphone to enable that. now i generally, you know, a different generation tv is kind of a thing and i listened to it. but i've been thinking about the tv and thinking about, hey, what happens the tv was voice enabled, and i can ask it things even when something is playing. the best example i like to think about a sports course. so let's say i'm watching a sports game like, oh man, i want to hear more about that player. or i don't know i'm watching a football game and they call clipping and maybe i'm new to football, and they're like, what's clipping? wouldn't it be cool? if i could ask the tv? hey, watching the warriors on tv? hey, tell me how many points for game is stephen curry or who's stephen curry it is me overlays some information about stefan curry there. and i can go back to watching the game or a football example. hey, what's clipping and show me what's clipping is and i could better understand the game. i think that's incredibly powerful to bring kind of interactivity, to tv. a in and kind of empower what i see this kind of younger generation seems to want when they have their, their phones with the tv. and quite frankly, i will often say we have we have some smart speakers next our tv and we'll pause and ask it a question. so we want it to, yes, build that right in the tv, build it into where it just shows up and then goes away. if you gave permission, you know, and i think there's some privacy implications to this, but about what you are watching on the tv to the voices, and then it could be really incredibly contextually aware and give you a really amazing information. so i'm really excited about the devices that are that are coming out for samsung, and that's a differentiator. the second big differentiator is really related to those devices. all those devices have screens. so if you look at the voice market today, and you look at let's talk about because they're obviously our competitors, alexa 85 to 90% of their devices are screaming just a smart speaker. okay, on the google side, there's a lot of them, they do have on the phone, a lot of uses on their smart speakers that are in the home. so most of what's being built is voice only with samsung devices, because all those devices i talked about, and it's fair to say in the future, most samsung devices will have a screen you need to build not only for a voice experience, but also a screen experience, that kind of multi-modality, which i think opens up a ton of opportunities. and quite frankly, in some cases, some challenges around multi-modality and building that but it's a new frontier and a lot of ways to build truly multimodal experiences, where you can interact with voice and screen and think about how they interplay with each other. tony morelan 18:49 so i hadn't heard of that term before. so multi-modality that is where you have voice and screen at the same time on the same device. roger kibbe 18:59 yeah, actually, i really refers to kind of you actually are using it today when you use the mouse and the keyboard. so to put a different input mechanism, i say into that is multimodal, you know, i was talking about swiping and typing as the two prompt dominant modalities right now. voice being a third one, i will tell you it's pretty interesting. if you look at kind of the rise of those modalities. we went from kind of keyboard. and then about 10 years later, the mouse arose in the gui and then that and then about 10 years later, ah, smartphones with touchscreens were introduced there. so swiping became and tapping became without, well guess what? smartphones of screens are just a little over 10 years old. so by that 10-year cycle, it's about time for another modality to kind of arise sure and voice definitely looks like a modality. it does not replace typing and swiping what it does is it augments, there's things where voice is the very best way to interact with technology. there’re things we're typing in the very best way to interact with technology, there's things we're swiping in your smartphone, the very best way to interact with technology, it opens up a different way of interacting with technology and kind of powers us to do more with our tech. tony morelan 20:21 so then, let me ask you, where do you see voice going, you know, in the next year, and then even beyond that, you know, for talking five to 10 years. give me give me your thoughts, your ideas of where we really could be taking voice. roger kibbe 20:33 yeah, so voice is in its infancy right now. i like to say that we're at the point where we're kind of barking commands. okay, at the voice assistance. another one, which gives me a laugh, is we're in the fart app stage. so that was the original apps on smartphones were all apps that party, right? yeah. so we're kind of in that stage with voice right now really early. what i think i'd like to see in the next year or two is a little beyond just parking command and actually get some things done. i'm actually pretty bullish about voice commerce. and if not actually going and buying things actually starting the buying process, and actually kind of that top of the funnel kind of marketing. and there's a whole idea of paid marketing by listening to the radio or tv, it's a one way push toward me voice. if i could have a conversation about a product or right, i want more information. i don't kind of more of a pull marketing, i like to call it that. and then i also, um, let me just jump in really quickly. it sounds tony morelan 21:35 like what you're saying that maybe where this could go is like, if i'm actually listening to an ad on the radio, i could, in a sense, have a conversation and ask more questions about that product that's being told to me. yeah, yeah, because that would be amazing. roger kibbe 21:51 yeah. so it's interesting because i'll mention so both spotify and pandora started you know, they have a free ad tier. yes, and many are experimenting just in the last month or two in 2020, certainly, with this idea of, if they're on a device that has a speaker, and that and you're using their client, they'll play an ad and say, do you want to hear more? if you say, yes, get more information, you say, no, you don't. right. and that's really kind of infant kind of simple stuff works. yeah, that's pretty exciting to me is, hey, you know, i, like all, many of us, you know, i kind of tune out the ads when i want to, but every once in a while, there's something i'm like, oh, that is really interesting. i'd like to learn more about that. or i'd like to call book market, of course. so i think there's a huge opportunity there to say, hey, remind me of this. or wow, that sounds really interesting. i'd like to hear more and start a conversation there. so that kind of interactive audio advertising. i don't know when that's all going to happen. but i'd sure like to see that happen in voice in the next few years. i think you did. ask about like longer term by 10 years out there. tony morelan 23:03 yeah, definitely. roger kibbe 23:04 yeah. so i guess the industry likes to call this idea of ambient computing just computing around us. that just does things for us. and sometimes it's just ai that knows we need to get things done and kind of preemptively does it for us. but voice is a big part of that i could just walk into my house and start talking to it, or in my car or in my office and talk and get things done. i'm reminded of there's a funny scene in one of the star trek movies, i think it's one of the early ones. when they go back in time and they go back to earth, in a running lead to a hospital and scotty sees a mouse and he picks it up, he starts talking to the mouse. and of course, he doesn't do it. he kind of mumbles under his breath about, you know, how advanced they are. you know, maybe we're going to get there where voice works well enough, where much of our interaction with tech is done through voice scores. yeah, like i said, i think we'll see keyboards have been around forever, they'll probably still be here in 10 years, and miles on swiping and typing, i just think there's a bunch of things that if we think about it, we can do better with voice or voice is part to that multi-modality, part of that interaction with our technology. so that's what i like to seek out five or 10 years be kind of a, not a novel thing, like it is now in a lot of ways. but it just you expect yeah, tony morelan 24:26 and it's, you know, it's crazy to think, you know, it seems like smartphones have been around forever. but it was not that long ago that truly the first smartphone was introduced to us. and 10 years from now is not much and just think about the advancements that definitely voice will take over that time. roger kibbe 24:42 yeah, absolutely. absolutely. you know, like truly understanding. yep. human voices really hard. i can say something to you in 10 different ways. can you understand i'm seeing the same thing? oh, yeah. that's really hard for an ai to do that. yeah. part of the challenges we have right now voice is when you're developing a voice application need to be pretty deterministic about if a user says this this way, then this is what you do. and here's some variations and how they say, because the ai gets better, you won't have to be so deterministic in your development. they'll just say, when the user intends this is their intention. right? thank you. yes, something like that. that's going to be huge, huge unlock for the industry. but it is a really hard ai problem. tony morelan 25:32 yeah, you know, actually some of the biggest laughs that we get in our house, so it's when we listen to my wife try and talk to one of those voice automated systems that you see on phone systems when you're asking a question trying to be transferred to a different department. and the phone system doesn't understand what my wife says. she doesn't say it any differently. she just says it more aggressively. she gets mad or she gets angrier, but she's still saying the same terms. and it's still sending her to the wrong department. and you know, myself, the kids, we all are just laughing as she just gets have tried to deal with this really, you know, low level ai system. roger kibbe 26:05 yeah, you know, this industry calls us ivr so they mostly been around for a long time and you know that the driver there was cost reduction right so it's expensive for a csr to answer phones cause reduction we all understand it, but sometimes doesn't put people first and i think you saw that with ivr it's funny when you were mentioning your wife getting frustrated and i likewise, um, you know, i will say hitting 0000 in an ivr often kicks you out of it but uh um, there's even websites that actually tell you how to if you're stuck in ivr hell, like this is how you say or this is the buttons you press to get out of that which is pretty funny. but that you caught up in something i think is pretty interesting. we can all feel as humans emotions in our voice, happiness, sadness, excited, bored that the there is a lot of research being done around voice assistance, understanding kind of the emotion in there because just hearing a voice we as humans hear obviously the words we also understand the emotion. they're subtle cues and how we say things. obviously, they're face to face. there's also a body language. one of the challenges and then ai i talked about, is it just understand it's saying, here's the words, what are those words mean? if i could understand the emotion of the user, that could be another input into my understanding, or if you're pissed and angry, and you're talking to an ai voice assistant, maybe you don't want it to be happy, full of personality and cracking jokes. you want it to be direct and to the point and the other hand if you're having fun, maybe the personality of the voice assistant the personas industries likes to call it is more fun and crack some jokes in this kind of friendly. i think there's a big unlock for voices systems to understand kind of the emotional cues that we as humans are giving with the tone and how we say things. sure. tony morelan 28:17 so let's talk a little bit about discoverability. oh, you know, i can only imagine if there's a lot of third-party apps out there. what's bixby doing to help make discoverability? a little easier? roger kibbe 28:27 yeah, there are a lot of third-party applications for all the voice assistance. and part of the challenge is, you have to use the name. so if i use if i call my voice app would say voice, the podcast helper. okay, if i want to use the podcast helper, i have to say something like, ask podcast helper to start or ask podcast helper to play my favorite podcast. the problem there is that ask podcast helper, i have to remember that phrase and i have to remember that term for the name of application. the problem with discoverability is people don't remember that. and so they don't use it. and so if i just say, tell my voices to play my favorite podcasts, it's going to use whatever built in functionality. it has to play podcasts as an example, and not podcasts helper, and not podcast helper. on the other hand, podcast helper may be a better experience. sure i, as a user, feel that podcast helper is my favorite way to listen to podcasts. so what we did with big suzy, introduced late last year, somebody called natural language categories, and it's really to address that. and the whole idea is, is these categories are way categories of interactions. so like playing a podcast, podcast is one of our categories. i'll give you another example and give you an actual real-world example. weather is one of our categories. so if i ask bixby what's the weather like? whatsoever like today, what's the weather like next week? what's the weather like? he will answer that in the built-in weather capsule. i answered that, but i actually in my big city, so there is a weather capsule called big sky that i really like goes into more detail. it's kind of for weather geeks, and i like weather. and so in bixby once i enable big sky what i can do, because it's part of the natural light, the weather natural language category, i as an end user can go and say, i want this to be the default. so the next time i say, hi bixby, what's the weather, big sky answers, built in weather functionality. so what lets you do is choose and personalize your voices system. the closest thing i mean, look, look at android phones. look at samsung phones. if you install two different map apps on an android phone, the first time you go to launch a map, it says hey, you have map app, a or have that be which one you want to use? and do you want to make one-year default? well, bixby has really exactly the same thing. but for voice. so what's the weather? like if i've enabled two of them and say, hey, you have weather capsule a, or you have big sky? which one would you like to use? would you like to make one the default? so i said, hey, use big sky and make it the default. and from then on big sky answers that i can always go into settings and change that. or i can always go back to that old kind of invocation name and say, ask weather app pay for the weather. and it'll override, right because then i'm specifically addressing the name of a capsule, and that will answer. so we've had this in about 20 different categories. we keep on building these and thinking about it. we think it's a big unlock to not only developers kind of solving this discoverability problem, but to my mind, even more importantly, as a consumer. i said, i like big sky over the in weather app, but everybody has their own preferences there. so let the consumer choose what they want their experience to be sure their favorite provider for x, y, or z, and really personalize the experience to the consumer. so suddenly, it may come across in how i'm describing it, but we're definitely super excited about because he thinks there's such amazing possibilities there. tony morelan 32:21 yeah, no, that sounds that sounds great. so let's talk about getting started. if developers or designers want to think about getting into voice, what advice would you give them? yeah, so a couple roger kibbe 32:30 things come to mind. the first is when you're thinking about what you want to build is voice the best interface for it. right. so, you know, obviously, i'm a fan of voice. i think it's amazing. i also think there's areas where typing on a keyboard, or swiping on a screen or better interfaces, right for what you're trying to do. so you need to think about if it's easy are faster or better to do it swiping or typing. i probably shy away from it. okay. on the other hand, if it's hard or difficult, i always like to think about things where i'm like, wow, i got to go through 12 different menus to go do this wow. voice might be really amazing there. so if you're going to replace some functionality, think about stuff that were voices a better interface or where voice is just brand new, it would not work well without voice being the kind of the modality with which you interact with that technology. so that's number one. number two, i'd say is follow your passion. okay, you know, the very best apps, pc, a phone or for voice are typically where the developer had some passion about it. so it really comes through. so if you're passionate about cooking, hmm, maybe there's something cooking voice experience you can build. if you're passionate about exercise. maybe there's an exercise voice experience you can build. so i say, follow your passions, because you're going to build something that passion will come through to people using your app. and you know what? it's going to be a heck of a lot more fun to build. yeah. if it's something that follows your passions, you want to build something that you use. right, exactly. this is fun. i'd use it. this is so cool. i want to share it with the world. tony morelan 34:28 yeah, yeah, i think that's a lot of great entrepreneurs get started as they're doing something that they want, that they're excited about. and then they worry about, you know, the money in the marketing later. but yeah, completely agree with you. so, in doing a little research for this interview, i, i discovered i learned that you actually host your own podcast. tell me a little bit about the bixby developers chat podcast that you host. roger kibbe 34:56 yeah, yeah. so just started that in january. this year, you know how to get started, i went and told my boss and said, i want to start a podcast. he said, go for it. i don't know what that means. i mean, he knew what it meant. but it was kind of like, go for it. let's figure it out and see how it works. and really the genesis is, you know, every time i go to a voice conference, i have these kinds of long in-depth kind of conversations with people around. hey, what are you building with voice? what's your thinking about it? where can you go in the future? and i really wanted to share some of those conversations with the world. you know, i'm passionate about voice and these great conversations with it to my earlier point about what you're passionate about, go share it, so wanted to go share it with the world. and so i think we're done. we've done 11 podcasts right now. we do one every two weeks on breeding, typically people in the voice industry in when we talk about what they're doing, what they've built what they think the future will look like on these our general conversations. we definitely talk about bixby somewhat, but i really the whole idea was a little bit kind of a halo effect is hey, people who are interested in voice would go listen to this podcast. and yeah, absolutely. we want them to go listen and go, hey, i got to go check out that bixby and go try it out or develop something on it. i like what those guys are doing. yeah. but the podcast yep, wide ranging. i've talked to voice designers, i talked to some podcasters i've talked to developers and i continue to think of who would be an interesting guest to talk about it. it's a lot of fun. um, i continue enjoy it. listenership seems to be growing pretty well. so i don't know for one podcaster to another. yeah, i think podcasting is a lot of fun. tony morelan 36:48 yeah, definitely. so for our podcasting fans. how can they find your podcast? where are you guys hosted? what's it called? roger kibbe 36:54 yeah, great question bixby developers chat. so any of your major podcast players, if you start searching for bixby, your bixby developers that'll come across. we're also built in the bixby capsule. so if you enable it you can say hi bixby, play bixby developers chat. and then we're online. if you just search for bixby developers chat, and you can see it and please listen, and then let me know what you like your what you'd like to see in the future. i think a lot of the value of podcasting is listening to your audience and they'll say, i love this. i'd like more of this, less of this love to hear about it. tony morelan 37:31 wonderful. so you've been around voice for a long time. in fact, you know, not just with your podcast, but prior to that with all of your work with voice. i'm sure you've got a lot of experiences around voice. so tell me some of your favorite experiences and why roger kibbe 37:43 yeah, i'm going to say maybe my favorite capsule and bixby is something built in it's the yelp capsule. and why i really like that is i talked earlier about i said, grace is a great way to interface in many ways, but not always. so voice is a really great input modality. so if i wanted to find a chinese restaurant in san francisco, that's open past 10pm on saturday nights. that's a pretty easy you, you can understand exactly what i'm saying. sure, um, there's a lot of information than that. now think about that if i was to search using a typical web interface, right, there's a lot of clicking and typing and things like that and drilling down i need to do there. yeah, but if i just ask the bixby oh, capsule, something like that, it could parse all that input, and then show me the results. so it's great for input modality. on the other hand, i get a list of restaurants and a list of restaurants via voice may be kind of overwhelming. so that's a great place where the screen etc. screen, this list here and then i kind of go back to touch when i swipe through those and touch and find more information. why i like that is it's a great example of multi-modality and kind of using the mix the modalities together. so the yelp capsule and bixby the other thing i'll say one of my favorite things to do on voice is, or just generally is i love trivia. there’re some pretty fun voice trivia experiences. one i really like on a very popular question of the day. it's actually quite simple but really well done. so boom, start question of the day aspects be hi bixby star question of the day, it gives you one question, multiple choice answers. if you get the answer right, you get a bonus question. and you can ask that what's really well done in that is the content is really well done. so the questions are great, the content is great. i'm going to say our content is king invoice and that's a great example. it's incredibly simple what they built but incredibly great because the content so great, there's experience that isn't on bixby i'd love to see come to bixby what's that? it's a trivia game called feel the pressure feel the pressure which is on alexa. yeah. and you've done great content and really great sound effects. the sound effects in that game made me want to play that game more. and i love the thinking of what set sound effects and the impact upon your kind of psyche are so i love that game. but yeah, those are two examples of things that i think are done really, really well with voice. tony morelan 40:22 excellent, excellent laughter definitely check those out. so if people want to learn more about bixby or even you as an evangelist, what's the best way for them to get in touch with you? roger kibbe 40:29 yeah. so for bixby so www.bixbydevelopers.com that is our website. and by the way, that is where you can go i mean, today, you can start developing for bixby so you download the bixby developer studio or id, you can do all your development. there's even a simulator in there. so if you don't yet have a samsung device, you can go and build that simulator. and just from a phone to watch the tv and smart appliance so you can build all that. so that's www.bixbydevelopers.com kind of your home hub for everything big sweet. the other things i'd say follow us on social. we try to be pretty active on twitter. so at bixby developers can also find us at facebook bixby developers search for bixby developers on social myself. i am definitely pretty active on twitter at roger kibbe. i love to talk about voice what people are doing, what's happening, learn about new areas that people are exploring. so let's connect and continue the conversation on twitter. tony morelan 41:37 excellent, excellent. so let me ask you a few questions about bixby studio. so that's the software that's used to create your capsules. tell me a little bit about getting bixby studio is this free? does it cost? roger kibbe 41:49 yeah, hundred percent free. you literally it's on the homepage of bixby developers calm for mac, windows and linux. you download it. it's a full-blown id with develop debug, there's a testing suite in there. there's a simulator, like i said, so you can go from end to end testing and you all do it. in that id, there's no it automatically syncs to the cloud. that's actually kind of a big competitive advantage for us is our idx. some of our competitors require you to do things and kind of sync to the cloud or use two different interfaces. everything in bixby developer studio isn't one you can do it all there and do all your development there until you're ready to submit to the marketplace. and then you start that within that, that studio as well. so is there a process where developers have to be approved to publish their capsules? yeah, so much like what happens with the other voice assistants and happens in various mobile phone app stores. there is a process. so you submit your capsule with information for the marketplace. and that is some information with the reviewers if necessary, and then there's a review process and they make sure you know, there's certain rules around, you know, appropriate content, or have you does that actually work particularly tricky with voice, right? people won't always phrase something the same way. so you want to build over flexibility. you create these things called hints, which are kind of phrases that will kick off your voice experience or capsule. you want those to work. so the reviewers check all that and make sure it all works. and if that's all working, then we'll go live in the marketplace. and if it doesn't, they'll give you some feedback. one of the things we're particularly proud about is our developer kind of outreach in a lot of areas around there. and if somebody doesn't pass, we try to give really useful feedback about hey, here's what you need to fix. and we also get feedback around hey, this, maybe this went live, but this could be even better. x, y or z because it's always in our interest to have really great capsules on the marketplace, so our developers spend our, our capsule review team spends a little more time reviewing things, because part of their job is to give some constructive feedback on sure. you know, good degrade, i like to say, tony morelan 44:18 exactly. so not just does it work or does it not, you know, pass or fail? you're actually giving more insight on how to improve this to get more success. yeah, roger kibbe 44:25 absolutely. tony morelan 44:26 wow. that's great. that's great. all right. so i am going to finish off with our last question here, our last topic, in doing a little research on viv labs and adam shire. i came across this penn and teller video of him doing magic. so and i've been found some other videos of adam doing magic, and i'm wondering, does magic work its way into viv labs. i mean, a little bit about that. roger kibbe 44:53 yeah, so absolutely this so adam is actually this pretty talented amateur magician. he probably kickoff professional if you really put his mind to it. so he loves to talk about magic and he seems to know everyone in the magic industry, he's incredibly well connected there. um, so a couple things happen. one, we have what we call friday magic. so every friday afternoon, kind of near the end of the day, we have a magician come in use of magic, which is really kind of a cool way to start the weekend, you know? sure. all right, you know, the work week is over, well laugh and be entertained with some magic and then we all we all go home. that happens. it's a lot of fun. we definitely when we go to trade shows, we often bring magician in place, sometimes very entertaining results there. but yeah, it's just one of these fun little side things that happens. we had that friday, magic. we talked about it. we do it at trade shows. and yeah, it makes me smile thinking about it. tony morelan 45:59 yeah. no, that's awesome that those things were great. it was a it was a nice discovery. well, hey, roger, absolutely appreciate you taking the time. this has been a great interview. i love getting to know more about you and also about bixby and voice. so again, thank you very much for joining me on today's podcast. roger kibbe 46:13 oh, my pleasure. always love to talk to voice thanks so much. tony morelan 46:17 so before i end this show, i want to do something a little fun with bixby. bixby said she can rap but i want to know hey bixby, can you beatbox? roger kibbe 46:28 check this out. outro 46:39 looking to start creating for samsung, download the latest tools to code your next app, or get software for designing apps without coding at all. sell your apps to the world on the samsung galaxy store. check out developer samsung.com today and start your journey with samsung. the pow! podcast is brought to you by the samsung developer program and produced by tony morelan.

amy lee 00:57 gosh, that's such a deep question to start off with, right. so i'll tell you my official title. obviously, you know, amy lee, i'm with the art institutes and my official title is vice president of mentorship and career readiness. i like to think of myself as more of a student success advocate, a creative connector, and that bridge for our students between the classroom and their potential career. tony morelan 01:27 you know, i'm really excited about our chat today, because this is the first interviewer i get to talk with not a designer or a developer or even someone from a big tech company, but i get to talk with someone about education. and that is something that everyone starts with, you know, learning, learning new skills following passion starting or even changing a career. and you know, it all begins with education. right. so can you tell me a bit about the art institutes? amy lee 01:54 sure. so the art institutes is a system of eight private schools. we're located throughout the united states, and we offer undergraduate graduate degrees in the fields of fashion, design, media, arts, culinary. and, you know, we're really here to focus on the applied arts, and you know, honing in those skills in the creative industries. tony morelan 02:22 yeah, so you're really covering a lot of the different areas of everything that really you know, means art. so i love that everything from cooking to traditional fine art to even tech, as it's related to art. amy lee 02:34 absolutely. tony morelan 02:35 so when did the art institutes first open? amy lee 02:38 so the art institutes first open their doors in 1921? wow, quite some time ago. tony morelan 02:45 so you coming up? it's 100 years? amy lee 02:48 it is it? is it? that is crazy to think of? tony morelan 02:51 wow, that is crazy. so you had mentioned there are eight campuses? is that correct? that is correct. so can you tell me where are those different locations throughout the us? yeah, amy lee 02:59 so we have campuses located in florida, that would be our miami and tampa campus? we have one in georgia, located in atlanta. we have four in texas, austin, dallas, houston in san antonio. and then i have one in virginia in virginia beach. oh, wow. wow. tony morelan 03:19 so you really are covering a good part of the good part of the country now? are these schools independent of each other? or can students start at one at one school, one campus, and actually at some point transfer to another location? amy lee 03:31 sure, students who begin their studies at one location are absolutely able to transfer to another location of the art institutes, depending on their program of study, and where they are in their study. so if they're, you know, a new student or closer to the end of their degree. so it just kind of depends on where they are and where they want to go. tony morelan 03:55 yeah, when i was starting my college career, i didn't really know what i wanted to do, right. i knew i wanted to be an art, something along those lines. i mean, my first attempt at a career would have been architecture. but i moved on from that pretty quickly, when i realized that i had a hard time with the rulers to be more free forms. yeah, i eventually found my way into graphic design. but i could see where students that that you know, at that young age, when they are trying to figure out really what their career is. part of that also is, you know, where do they find themselves? where do they want to live? right? amy lee 04:25 or where do i want to end after i graduate? you know, where do i want to end up and where do i want to be located for my first career attempt? yes. tony morelan 04:32 so do you see that some of your schools focus more in one area than other areas? like do you see more fashion students, you know, at one campus versus others or, you know, amy lee 04:42 they're spread all over? i will say we probably have a larger population of fashion in miami, atlanta, houston, dallas, some of our larger cities, okay. but not because, you know, the industry is less than one or the other, just because there's more people in the area? tony morelan 05:04 sure, sure. and what about tech, you know, when it comes to more, you know, using computers and whatnot to create amy lee 05:11 our media program is one of our larger programs. so media encompasses our animation, visual effects, photography, audio, film, and they're all over, you know, those students, atlanta with their booming film industry does seem to be a bit of a hub. but we have those programs at all eight locations. tony morelan 05:36 you know, what your school offers is pretty amazing when it comes to that on campus education that you can get that being said, do you offer online courses. amy lee 05:45 so we don't offer online courses as a total degree program, but we do offer classes in a virtual format and in person. so you know, 100% online is not a, an offering that we have at the moment, sure. but because of covid, and commas of, you know, how we are transitioning and being able to, you know, adapt our courses. there’re four formats technically for how students can learn. so they can attend classes from the comfort of their home, within a set core structure, they decide when they want to complete their courses in their course content. alternatively, in this format, students can attend live sessions online at a set day in time. so the instructor goes live, say, tuesdays at two o'clock, and all their classmates join, they might have a guest lecturer, and they're all learning virtually, in that environment. tony morelan 06:43 sure. so it's not it's not like an on-demand type, of course offering it is you are here with the teacher and your fellow students. and we're taking this class together. amy lee 06:52 yeah. so there's that option, and then there is that sort of on demand option, as well as students would be able to go in and look at their course content and, and say, okay, this assignments due on tuesday of next week, here's all my learning videos, here's all of the course instructor notes, here's the videos from my instructor, i'm going to do this at my own pace, and just meet my deadlines or my benchmarks. so gotcha. yeah, that's sort of our virtual learning options. tony morelan 07:19 i see. i could see what that would really work well, for a student who has responsibilities outside of school. right. so maybe someone who has a job, you know, whether it's full time or part time, they may not be able to dedicate a certain amount of time every day, right? amy lee 07:33 i think flexibility is the key, you know, we were trying to take into account different styles of learning, different types of students and different backgrounds, and, you know, really being able to accommodate all of those different things. tony morelan 07:46 yeah. which brings up a good point, i want to ask you do you offer classes that are geared towards people maybe at different points in their career, whether it's a you know, a younger student who is just starting out? or maybe it's somebody who's already had a career, and they're looking for a change or a switch? do you offer programs for those different types of students? amy lee 08:04 you know, i think our program speak to those types of students no matter where they are. so it's not that there would be an adult learning graphic design program. but the course content for our graphic design program would cater to someone who is fresh from high school, someone who's a career changer, someone who you know, maybe has a little bit of skill under their belt, and maybe they want to come back and just do the diploma program, not the associate's, the bachelors or the masters. so there's different levels and different skills and different time periods for everyone. tony morelan 08:36 yeah, yeah, that's what i like about the flexibility of it. how many students would you say total amongst all eight campuses are part of the art institutes? amy lee 08:45 so we currently have more than 3000 students between our eight campuses? tony morelan 08:51 wow, that's a that's a big number. yeah. so are all campuses have like the equal amount of students or is there one campus that is actually a bigger school than others? amy lee 09:00 so they do range in size? and i would say it really depends on the city. so again, the more populous cities, so miami and atlanta, dallas, they are a little bit larger as far as student body than a campus in austin or tampa or virginia beach, or san antonio. tony morelan 09:21 sure. what about faculty? i'm sure that you've got a large faculty group that can administer to all these students. amy lee 09:28 yeah, so faculty are great. our faculty are certainly part of the lifeblood of our institute. they're very gifted instructors, many of whom are respective active professionals in the fields that they teach. so our faculty use a lot of different learning centered methodologies to prepare our students and right now we have approximately 350 of them teaching during any given quarter. wow, tony morelan 09:55 that's, that's pretty big. yeah. so we you touched on covid just for a quick moment earlier. so want to talk a little bit more about that. i mean, that obviously is impacted our country, our world. i mean, in every aspect of life, how has it impacted the art institutes? amy lee 10:10 sure. so, given the current state of the world, you know, we had to pivot very quickly within the art institute to make sure that our students could still be accommodated and still, you know, be able to learn. so we went to great lengths to really ensure that despite what's going on in the world, we were here to help our students keep the applied arts surviving and thriving. so in addition to those earlier courses we were talking about, they could learn virtually or, you know, at set times, we offer hybrid courses with one of two options. so for select courses, students could complete their academic work online, or come to campus for the practical lab component of their courses. labs are offered on multiple dates and times, students can schedule that date and time to attend from the available options via our online reservation system. or students can access the campus outside of those class times via just the online reservation system. so they could come on campus and obviously limited numbers due to covid. but following those cdc guidelines, they could still access and utilize the audio lab or the photo studio or the fashion lab and get that, i guess, hands on piece. sure, in addition to what they're learning in a remote format. tony morelan 11:34 yeah. so i will say i was very impressed with how quickly you guys pivoted when covid hit. i mean, it seemed like it was within just a matter of days that, that we all had to figure out, okay, how are we? how do we can, you know, change our direction so that we can still, you know, help these students? so i was really impressed with how quickly you guys did pivot that, amy lee 11:57 you know, that was something that we really kind of all pulled together on. so, you know, prior to initial lockdowns last year, students attended courses just on ground. and of course, the majority of our employees were based at campuses. so as with other higher education institutions in just a matter of weeks, you're right, it, it really was weeks that we were able to shift our entire operation to this virtual format. and ai virtual learning was designed to really provide students with as much flexibility in their learning and as much content and engagement as we could possibly, you know, get in there for them to be exposed to. tony morelan 12:41 yeah, definitely. so i'd like to jump right into the collaboration between samsung and the art institutes. yeah, because that's when i first met you. when i came out to miami to help teach a workshop. can you tell me how that association first began? amy lee 12:58 so you're exactly right. it began with samsung reaching out to the art institutes and saying, hey, we have these really great game developer and watch design developer workshops. and could we bring that to your students? and we of course, said, yes, i'd love to expose them to industry. that's, that's what i live for, is bringing sort of real-world application into their classroom environment. so we started off with workshops. we had workshops in miami, and we had workshops in atlanta, and we were working on a workshop for houston and dallas and covid hit but in those workshops, gosh, i want to say we had over 220 students between both of those locations. yeah. you know, take that sort of immersive, you know, one day one-and-a-half-day workshop, and they loved it. oh, yeah. tony morelan 13:53 so that was where, like i mentioned that when i first met you and all the faculty at the art institute, when it came out to miami, i helped teach a themes ui, designing class to the students. and it honestly was a great time seeing what the students did. i think one of the best stories that came out of that was that we had students from all different departments at your campus there, right. so we had students that were there in design, or they were doing culinary or they were doing fashion. and we held a little contest. at the end of the day, we were going to select which team designed what we thought was the most compelling phone ui theme. and surprisingly, it was the fashion. yeah, the fashion design group who these people are working with textiles and fabrics. but it was neat to see how they took that sort of concept and brought it into a you know, a digital phone ui theme. amy lee 14:49 but that's part of fashion. right? so wearables is something that we talk about in their curriculum. yeah. and is it you know, and an athletic sort of fitness wearable, is it a fashion wearable? is it technology wearables? and? and how are they going to incorporate that and design for it? for a wide variety of uses? tony morelan 15:11 yeah, definitely. and i think also, another highlight for me was i was given the opportunity to review a lot of the students personal portfolios. so this is just their portfolio of work, you know, whether they were assignments that they've done, or some of them already had been working as graphic designers, and they were showing me some of their projects from the past. and, you know, to be able to sit down with those students and share a bit of my knowledge, that was a really nice tie. that was, it was a great moment for me. amy lee 15:38 yeah, we have a lot of great partnerships and industry pros who are on campus all the time, sort of imparting their knowledge and allowing the students the opportunity to share their work, which is what really excites them and keeps their sort of passion and flames, you know, fueled so that they can see where they're going to progress once they're, you know, done with school and what they're going to be able to do in the industry. tony morelan 16:00 and i think what we liked the most was that, you know, we were given an opportunity to sit down with these students at the beginning of their career and show them about how easy it is to develop for samsung. i mean, there's this sort of stigma that, you know, i have to learn how to code by the tools that we were showing at that time, for phone ui designing, and also for watch face designing. students didn't have to know how to code. so it was easy for us to come in to a group of students that were taking classes in culinary in fashion design and other areas of art, that maybe are not developers that know how to code, right, but we're giving them an opportunity to actually create for samsung, amy lee 16:41 i agree. i think one of those interesting things you mentioned culinary, i remember talking to the culinary student, he was like, i want to design a watch for a chef, you know, what are my times for? you know, my eggs are my deep fryer. and can i build that into this watch design so that i can, you know, use it? tony morelan 16:58 that's great in the kitchen. it was great. yeah. so we had so much success at those workshops that we decided to offer an actual course, correct. this would be a samsung, this was watch face designing. and as you'd mentioned, we were in the middle of just about ready to launch this and then covid hit 17:15 and lockdown. tony morelan 17:16 yes. and we all had to figure out how are we going to take this in person? i think it was a six-week course at the time, right? i worked pretty closely with some of your faculty there on how we could turn this into an online course. and it was actually very successful. i was really impressed with the students in their eagerness to learn this new tool and take that in the actually designed some pretty nice-looking watch faces. amy lee 17:42 yeah, you're right. so the workshops evolved into the course. and, you know, working with you and other members at samsung, we had faculty we had some of our dean's, we had, you know, programmatic experts to really take what samsung had in these half day workshops to expand it into what does a student really need to do to flesh out a full, you know, credit bearing course within our curriculum that would, you know, benefit them and expose them to technology and industry in a more real world application. so, we pivoted very quickly again, it was going to be on ground. it went to this virtual learning format. we stretched it to 11 weeks in the end. yes, i was just looking at the calendar, tony and we're coming up on the one-year mark of offering this class and we have had over 128 students i think is when i last looked at it wow. come through and take that class. tony morelan 18:46 that's amazing. and it's still a class that is being offered criminalists. amy lee 18:48 yeah, it's on the schedule. that tony morelan 18:50 is that is great. so we've talked about ui designing for phones. we've talked about watch face. designing to understand there's actually another area that my counterpart diego yeah, another evangelists that he helped teach game development. amy lee 19:03 he actually did last quarter on the quarter system. so last quarter, diego partnered with our team production, one into class for game art and design. and he was in that class, we had our first instance, i think we had 18 students. and he really spent so much quality time with them, talking about the samsung platform and how they could get their indie games, potentially published the process behind there. and then the students got to ask their questions, you know, so they had, you know, diego as the expert, and he offered to again, as you did look at their work, give them feedback, and really kind of fulfill that publishing fire of how they're going to go about that and get that game noticed. tony morelan 19:52 you know, a lot of the students when they're starting out, they haven't had that opportunity to have real world game development experience. what we were able to as a collaboration with samsung, where diego was able to give them that insight on what it is like to actually develop a game in the industry, amy lee 20:09 right, right. so you're right, they kind of work in a bit of a vacuum. and, you know, they look at different places where they can publish and, and how they can, you know, go about getting their game notice. but, again, having this partnership with samsung has been so valuable for them because they could learn a little bit more, i guess about tips and tricks and sort of an inroad, and getting into the galaxy store for potential publishing. tony morelan 20:36 it wasn't just about creating the game, they actually had to do more than that, which was put together their business plan and also talk about how are they going to promote this game? amy lee 20:45 correct? who is their target audience? what age bracket are they going after? where are they going to publish it? all of those types of things? what's their logo? what's their, you know, font choice? what are their colors? you know, how does it play on different platforms? is it you know, a phone? is it for console? you know, all those different things? tony morelan 21:04 yeah, that's great. it's all part of marketing your brand. so diego also participated in your ai live? 21:12 yes. tony morelan 21:13 so tell us a little bit about what is ai live. amy lee 21:16 so ai live again, was kind of born out of the pandemic, to be honest with you, but a way for us to continue to connect industry professionals, even highlight faculty and alumni of the art institutes to our students. so in the past, we all had guest lectures on campus. with pandemic, we couldn't do that. so ai live was born, you can check out ai live on our youtube channel and see all of those recordings, and diego did participate. so he was an industry professional and talked about samsung, and the partnership and the developer program and game publishing. and he's one of our more popular views actually on the channel. tony morelan 22:05 i want to kind of go back a little bit also and just touch a little bit more on covid. you know, financially, it's really hit a lot of people very hard because a lot of people have been out of work to covid does the art institute, do they have any sort of financial aid or any way that they can assist with students in tuition? amy lee 22:21 sure. so at the art institutes financial aid is available to those who qualify, we are always here to help students understand everything they need to know, to help fund their creative education. we're always looking for ways to make education more affordable. so we offer full and partial scholarships to eligible new and continuing students. and one of our internal institutional grants is called the art grant. and the art grant gives students the chance to earn tuition of up to $17,340 for a bachelor's degree, which is an average of about 18% of tuition, and up to $5,845, which about 13%. for an associate's degree program, of course, we offer all the traditional va funds for veterans all the title for programs and those types of things. tony morelan 23:17 wow, that is that is really nice to hear. what are you guys doing in the way of recruiting new students? sure. so amy lee 23:22 we have an admissions team who helps students in each step of the process, and there's a four-step process to getting started. so first is the interview. and that's going to be where the students would meet with their enrollment counselor. during the interview process, they're going to share stories of the art institutes mission, how we help creative individuals launch their careers and do what they love. talk about range of services provided and that sort of thing. next step would be to apply. and we're serious about creative education and students. applications tell us that they're serious, too. so once accepted, we work with the student to make sure that they're on track to start classes. third step is financial aid and scholarships where a financially aids rep would help the students explore their options, scholarships to help fund step four would be orientation. and that's really the final step. so new student orientation and my team plays a big part in that but orientation is really that chance to explore the campus, which takes place digitally right now we do a virtual orientation, but it's the students opportunity to learn everything from policy and procedures to time management to how to log into their classes, meet with their academic directors to make sure that they're well prepared to start school and know what to expect and how to move very quickly in our very fast paced, you know, environment of how we're learning today. tony morelan 24:57 yeah, that's great to be able to put that information out there for the students to really get a good understanding of what it is that they're about to embark on. absolutely. once a student has completed their degree at the art institute, what is it that you guys can do with help with placing them into the workforce? amy lee 25:13 sure. so again, that falls under mentorship and career readiness, which diego help navigate our students within our team of mentors. so our department student, mentor, ship and career readiness partners with our students, as they, you know, select courses to register up through that career transition piece, they can seek guidance from us in tending a myriad of workshops. so over the course of a quarter, we host workshops on resume writing, interview techniques, salary negotiation, if they, you know, really want to do freelance or be an entrepreneur, you know, pointing them in the right direction for business planning resources, or connecting them with a copyright or contract attorney to do a workshop on intellectual property, and, you know, all of those resources and building blocks that they're going to need to be successful after, after school, we have a job board, of course, we have a lot of self-directed resources, we have on demand resources we have in person resources, all of those wonderful things to connect them with, i can say, i don't know, on the job board, i probably approve 20 to 25 jobs a day really have employers reaching out, you know, to the art institutes to say, hey, i want to hire a graduate of yours, or where can i post this job? sure. tony morelan 26:39 that's great. so you really do have a nice program when it comes to career readiness. amy lee 26:42 we try we really do try to help, you know, set them up. tony morelan 26:45 yeah. so can you tell me about some of the major accomplishments that your graduates have gone on to do after they have graduated from the art institute? amy lee 26:53 i would say, you know, again, check out our ai live series on youtube, you can actually hear from them firsthand. but some of the more recent interviews from some of our alumni, and some of the upcoming ones that we'll be launching by the end of march, you can check out joshua leonard. he is a 2018. graduate from the art institute of atlanta, and he is a character animator for netflix. wow. and we're very proud of him and all of his accomplishments. he's one of our most recent ones. you can look for upcoming on ai live. simone qi. she's a 2012 graduate from the art institute of dallas. she does branding and advertising for a lot of fortune 500 companies, advertising now she's opened up her own creative studio in dallas, and then culinary jamika pessoa. she was on the next food network star in 2009. she's a weekly contributor on the dr. oz. new series the dish on oz, and she's a 2005 culinary graduate from our atlanta campus. wow. so tony morelan 28:04 you really do have some, some notable alumni, you amy lee 28:07 we're very proud of them. we're proud of all of them. but you know, if you want to hear some of the highlights, you know, those are some good ones to check out. tony morelan 28:14 oh, definitely. well, so can you talk about future plans, any upcoming announcements with the school? amy lee 28:20 yeah. miami, international university of art and design, global campus, will most likely officially i'll do some air quotes their official launch in its first full academic year, which would be 2021-2022, which would commence in the fall. could be sooner. but that would be an online education platform. so where we previously spoke about, you know, virtual and hybrid and, you know, we're not totally online, miami, international university of art and design global campus would be an online modality for education. oh, wow. tony morelan 28:59 so this obviously came out of the what, how covid has impacted your school and where you had to pivot? you now realize, you know what, we're going to offer this just permanently as an ongoing right offering. that is that's great. amy lee 29:11 definitely a need. tony morelan 29:13 and yeah, definitely. so what's the best way for people to learn about the art institutes amy lee 29:18 so i would go to the website, you know, that's, that's where anyone interested in our programs can visit us online. and it's www dot art institutes with an s.edu. you can also check out some of our virtual open house events, and upcoming virtual open house events. may the eighth of 2021, from 11am, eastern 10am central, and you know, those are all great ways to interact with our departments, our faculty, hear stories, see resources, and really learn more about the art institutes. tony morelan 29:54 that's excellent. so when you're not working and helping these students plan their careers what is it that you do for fun? amy lee 30:02 you know, my husband and i love to take the motorcycle out on the weekends and the texas hill country. so go for long rides until i can't sit on the back of that bike anymore. love to be out with my dogs, my fur babies i'm an avid artist at heart. my undergraduate degree is in fine arts. so i paint quite a bit, refinishing some piece of furniture or painting something. so that's what tony morelan 30:31 i do. and i will say every time that i've met you, you've had a different hairstyle. a different hairstyle. i mean, right now you have this beautiful slosh of pink coming right through your bangs. and i can tell you are a very artsy person, a perfect person to represent the art institutes. amy lee 30:50 well, thank you. i do change my hair quite frequently. i think i've been every color of the rainbow. tony morelan 30:55 that's great. well, amy, thank you very much for being on the podcast. i really appreciate it. amy lee 30:59 thank you for having me. tony was a pleasure. closing 31:02 looking to start creating for samsung, download the latest tools to code your next app, or get software for designing apps without coding at all. sell your apps to the world on the samsung galaxy store. checkout developer.samsung.com today and start your journey with samsung. the pow! podcast is brought to you by the samsung developer program and produced by tony morelan.

      FAQ

      faq q01. why are my watch apps not available in the galaxy store for upgraded gear watches or new devices? you must specify in seller portal that your binary is compatible with all new devices (a watch with an upgraded os is considered a new device) and republish your app. after your updated app is published, it will be available to those new devices. on gear s3 and gear sport watches, the tizen os can be upgraded. gear s3 can be upgraded from tizen 2.3.2 to tizen 3.0 or 4.0. gear sport can be upgraded from tizen 3.0 to tizen 4.0. if you published your app before these upgrades were available, the option to include the upgraded watch as a compatible device was not available in seller portal. for example, if you published your app before tizen 4.0 was released, your selections for compatible gear sport watches in seller portal would have been for tizen 3.0 only. likewise, your selections for compatible gear s3 devices would have been for tizen 2.3.2 and 3.0. as a result, a customer who has upgraded their watch to tizen 4.0 will not be able to view your app in the galaxy store. in order to have your watch app recognized as compatible with an upgraded watch, you must update the compatible devices for the binary in seller portal. in general, if a new device is released or an existing device becomes upgradable to a new os after you have published your app and you want your app available on these devices, you must update your binary to be compatible with these devices and republish your app. to update the list of compatible devices for your binary file in seller portal: log in to seller portal and open your watch face app. click the binary tab. at the top of the binary section, in the middle is a box with selected device(s) and the total number of selected compatible devices. click on the number. in the detailed device settings window, select each device with which the binary is compatible. if your binary is compatible with all listed devices, click select all. click save. submit your app for validation and, after it has been successfully validated, republish it. q02. create product images for galaxy watch detail pages make your galaxy watch face or app stand out in the galaxy store. samsung recommends that you use portrait-orientation product images for your galaxy watch detail page. users can just tap on a portrait image to open it in full-screen mode, creating an optimal phone experience and allowing your app to stand out in the galaxy store. best practices use detailed, close-up images of the product. we suggest that you use just the product and logo (with minimal or no text) for a strong image that shows the quality of your workmanship. avoid using identical images for the icon, cover image, and screenshot. in this case, the detail page shows three duplicate images rather than three separate views of the product. screenshot resolution we suggest the following resolution guidelines for screenshots: cover image = 1024 x 500 pixels horizontal screenshots = 1500 x 750 pixels vertical screenshots = 550 x 1100 pixels galaxy store asset creator you can use the galaxy store asset creator to easily export the assets you need to publish your watch face to the galaxy store. to use this tool, you need: photoshop version 16.0 (cc 2015) or later a basic understanding of photoshop. download the galaxy store watch asset creator template to get started! lifestyle photo asset packs show off your watch face designs on an actual watch using our "smart" photoshop files. download lifestyle photo assets and save time! examples the following screenshot shows a galaxy watch detail page with three portrait screenshots that show detailed aspects of the galaxy watch face: the following screenshot shows a galaxy watch detail page with landscape screenshots that are cut off on the sides, making them less visually appealing in the galaxy store: q03. find, download, and export galaxy watch images use the lifestyle photo assets to show your watch face designs on an actual watch. or, use the galaxy store asset creator to easily export the assets you need to publish your watch face to the galaxy store. to use these tools, you need: photoshop version 16.0 (cc 2015) or later a basic understanding of photoshop. download lifestyle photo assets and save time! download the galaxy store watch asset creator template to get started! q04. develop galaxy watch faces with galaxy watch studio you can use galaxy watch studio (formerly galaxy watch designer) to design your galaxy watch faces. to download galaxy watch studio (gws), go to /galaxy-watch-tizen/studio/overview.html. to develop watch faces using gws, see the galaxy watch studio tutorial. q05. what is a distributor certificate and how is it used? the distributor certificate is used for signing and verifying your app. it identifies the distributor (for example, galaxy store) and grants privileges to that distributor. for testing purposes, it ensures that your signed application is installed on registered devices only. in order to test your app on a device, the device must be registered in your personal distributor certificate. then, you must build your app, which signs the app using your personal distributor certificate. to generate a personal distributor certificate and register a samsung device, using the galaxy watch studio (formerly galaxy watch designer), from the main menu bar, click project > distribute certificate. for more information, see get your certificates. using tizen studio, from the main menu bar, click tizen tools > certificate manager (the samsung certificate extension must be installed in order to properly generate a personal distributor certificate for your samsung device). for information about the samsung certificate extension, see installing certificate extension. for information about the certificate manager, see creating certificates and managing certificate profile. the personal distributor certificate is used for testing only. when you release your app for sale in the galaxy store, your personal distributor certificate is replaced by an official distributor certificate. if you upgrade a registered device (for example, you upgrade the tizen os), you may need to re-register the device in your personal distributor certificate. for example, if you upgrade your galaxy watch 3 or sport watch to tizen 4.0, you must re- register the device in your personal distributor certificate and rebuild your app before testing it on the device. you may encounter one of the following error messages if there is a problem with the distributor certificate: message message solution account in device profile mismatch with distributor certificate. the device has been upgraded and the duid (device unique identifier) has changed. re-register the device in your personal distributor certificate and rebuild your app. launching appmanagerappid has encountered a problem. the device is not found in your personal distributor certificate or your personal distributor certificate was not created properly. register the device in your personal distributor certificate or re-create your personal distributor certificate and rebuild your app. the application installation on the device has failed due to a signature error!
