  • "The computer is an incredibly powerful means of creative expression," says designer and TED Fellow James Patten. But right now, we interact with computers, mainly, by typing and tapping. In this nifty talk and demo, Patten imagines a more visceral, physical way to bring your thoughts and ideas to life in the digital world, taking the computer interface off the screen and putting it into your hands.

    Interesting idea of combining both the physical and digital spheres.

    Very interesting. Relates to the whole question of the distinction between digital and actual and the way that this is getting harder and harder to distinguish. Also connects with the "internet of things" topic.

    "Urbanscale was founded by Adam Greenfield in 2010 to bring a human-centered perspective to the design of products, services, and spatial interventions wherever networked information technology intersects the urban condition, for the benefit of everybody who lives, works, strives, and dreams in the world's cities. We work with municipal, public-sector and private organizations on one-off and long-term consulting projects, as well as developing our own products. Our expertise in interaction and interface design, ethnography, graphic design, typography, cartography and software development is complemented by extensive experience working in North America, Europe and Asia."

    Adam Greenfield also wrote books on that subject. If anyone is interested: http://speedbird.wordpress.com/my-book-everyware-the-dawning-age-of-ubiquitous-computing/

    Thanks for that Janek. Looks very interesting, and provides a great example of how design, ethnography and ubiquitous computing can be combined.
