Hi all, Sorry about that - and thanks to those of you who have contacted me already!
We are working on a number of platforms of interest to this group, I believe. And while we have both an internal prototyping group and a very accomplished IT entity, we could benefit greatly from a user experience specialist who can also "make things" to work on the Phase I research and prototyping. Anyone having additional questions that I, as a design researcher and anthropologist might answer, can contact me directly. Thanks much!
