ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is my main on-line filing cabinet/archive, open to the world. Topics include touch, multi-touch, and gesture interaction, interactive displays, screens, surfaces, environments, and systems; collaborative and social technologies, serious (and not-so-serious) games, 3-D, virtual and augmented reality, innovative learning technologies, interactive TV, DOOH (Digital Out of Home), interactive information and data visualization, the creative use of interactive multimedia content across disciplines and art forms, educational technology, and universal design/accessibility.

For readers who are interested in digging deeper into a topic, I often post video presentations, slides, links to publicly available scholarly articles, references, related news articles, blog posts, and websites, and references.
