Now with less interaction than the iPhone. Now all we need is a RFID chip installed and the future is here.
Make every flat panel up to 100 inches a touchscreen! It works even through a thick glass.
This ad was made during the 3 day VW workshop in collaboration with MA Transport Design at Umeå

It’s a really smart table. I can’t read french, hope some translates what it says.
First login, then once in the writing form upload your FLV (Flash video), just as you would upload an image. Remember to keep your file width, height and size acceptable and reasonable for web audience.
Use the code below to call the Flash player to display your movie and adjust the necessary parameters
[ flashvideo width="400" height="320" filename="path/to/video.flv" image="path/to/image.jpg" /]
*** there should be NO white space between the left bracket [ and flashvideo ***
width: self-explanatory
height: self-explanatory
filename: the URL of the flv movie (you can get it by clicking on the file in upload box, send link to editor)
image: the URL of the poster frame (preview image to show before loading the video)
Few of you asked me about these. So here are the links.
Natural voice Text-to-SpeechÂÂ
Open source sound library (Best sound library there is)ÂÂ
Can’t post Youtube links, so here they are.
This year’s projects are amazing! Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) in New York is home of notable figures in the Interactive/Physical computing/Tangible world: Tom Igoe ,Dan O’Sullivan and Daniel Shiffman just to name a few. It’s always very inspiring to discover the projects coming out of this program. They are really exploring (and blurring) the boundaries between art, design and technical sciences.
Make has a good write-up on the show. Otherwise, check the numerous projects directly at this URL:

What is your favorite, and why? I still need to look a bit deeper, but initially I really like the projects related to the Big Screens class.
Designed for winter, this cell phone’s large buttons allow its user to use them outside while wearing thick gloves. The concept brings in to question what other specific types of contexts phones could be developed for or how they could be made to easily adapt to their environments and specific user scenarios in general.

The latest podcast from Lunar Design’s Icon-o-Cast is titled WHAT IS “INTERACTION DESIGN,” ANYWAY?
It’s kind of basic, but nevertheless it’s nice to hear it from a consultancy bureau. I feel it’s a good introduction on Interaction Design. Gretchen Anderson sounds a bit Swedish, but apparently she studied at Harvard and been working at Frog for some years, and she is now Director of Interaction Design at Lunar.

Vitamin B is an interactive table with a tangible interface. Rahul and me did this project in the experience prototyping workshop 3 weeks ago. Have a look at the video on youtube!
You might have seen on many blogs his recent quick and simple Wiimot hack for IR Finger Tracking (with Minority Report-style interaction). Mr. Lee’s works is even more impressive if you look at his recent projects at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (Carnegie Mellon Univerisity):

Foldable Interactive Displays
Automatic Projector Calibration using Embedded Light Sensors (a bit old but still very nice)
Chris Engler is the guy who teached me how to use vvvv. he is the great vvvv-master. right now he is working on a multitouch project. and he just finished a first prototype. its really impressive.
Planar Systems have launched a new kind of display technology called Tasel.
Supposedly, it allows for transparent, curved and non-rectangular displays. Sounds cool to me.
