Please join the NYC IxDA community for our July event:
“The Naked Interface—Liberating Brain, Body, and Digital Interactions”
Throughout the electronic age, people have become accustomed to
interacting with digital media indirectly, mediated through screens
and peripheral devices. But now, as digital technology becomes
invisibly embedded in everyday things, the “feeling” of everyday
things is also increasingly becoming embedded in digital technology.
In many senses, physical objects are becoming more important. In an
immediate way, they can help us define new systems of relationships
with digital information. Luke Williams, Creative Director at frog
design, examines how perceptions and gestures formed through our
experiences with physical products can effectively bring liberty to
the relationship between brain, body, and digital media interface.
Luke will cover:
- how patterns and archetypes from product design now frame new ways
for people to orientate themselves around information;
- the principle of stimulating one sense through another to create
multi-sensory interactions; and
- new developments at the collision point between “real world” objects
and “digital interfaces”—the touch screen.
