Msc Ubiquitous Computing Lecture

Today I was asked by Prof. Hans Gellersen to give a guest lecture as part of his Ubiquitous Computing course for the MSc Computer Science.

The title of the lecture was Practical Tools for Designing Ubiquitous Computing Interfaces and you can find the slides here. We covered Embedded, Tangible, Multitouch and Whole-Body Interactions and I presented three demos about .NET Gadgeteer, reacTIVision and Kinect.

Leaping Out (Part II)

After a very interesting week working with very talented people, Leaping Out is finally over, culminating with the evening at the Dukes’ DT3. The night was a success, featuring art installations, dramatic and comic sketches and soundscapes. Following the theme, ‘Ready & Waiting’, I contributed with an airport departure board that displayed tweets that mentioned people waiting for something in the departures side and people ready for something else in the arrivals side.

The event was sold-out and received a very positive review by Michael Nunn, which can be found here.
