Inara, a companion (courtesan), is reviewing<br />
client applications at her next port of call when<br />
she is interrupted by a live video message.<br />
Matchmaking interfaces let the user specify some aspect of their target mate, or help people<br />
physically meet interested parties.<br />
Realworld examples:<br />
• Alt.com/Manhunt.com/Craiglist<br />
• iTrick (sex data fetish)<br />
• Lovegetty (only 3 settings, toy)<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Some of this is already happening as shown in past and current SciFi (alt.com, iTrick, escort<br />
review sites, etc.)<br />
• SciFi interface narratives too narrowly described to be of much use—not enough detail, though<br />
there are some representational aspects that might be inspirational. What we experience in real<br />
life is already better. Could re-establish the bar scene (loganʼs run) that Craigslist has destroyed.<br />
We can make some assumptions that preferences are not used in Loganʼs Run but it may be the<br />
case with Inara (Firefly)<br />
• General matchmaking interfaces have not been seen in scifi in some time, partially because the<br />
audience has likely experienced them in the real world first hand, and they<br />
• Where it can go: collaborative filtering, “magic” (realtime/nearby) matching, (ubiquitous<br />
sensing?)<br />
