    About

    This blog is one of my on-line filing cabinets, open to the world, focusing on off-the-desktop natural user interfaces interaction, and user experience.

    What is the interface? Real-world locations and public spaces (airports, shopping centers, lobbies, buildings, plazas, parks, etc.), educational or social networks and settings, as well as virtual worlds - simulations, games, VR, or augmented reality - just about anything humans interact with in their daily lives.

    I blog about technologies, systems, and applications that support communication, collaboration, knowledge exploration/sharing, interactive information visualization, multimedia storytelling, creative expression, games, learning, planning and decision making, and accessibility.

    This is the sister blog of Interactive Multimedia Technology

    Scroll this sidebar to find links to resources about multi-touch and gesture-based interaction & systems, related interaction and usability design, the open-source Natural User Interface (NUI-Group) community, Microsoft's Surface, HP's TouchSmart PC, Smart Technology's SMARTTable, and more.

    For more in-depth information, check out my extensive resources page.

    If you are interested in interactive technologies and education, visit the TechPsych blog.
