TouchSmarter: Touch Screen Gadgets

In November 2008, Natural User Interface was involved in setting up a workshop related to multi-touch technology together with several companies in Sweden and educational partner K3 Malmo university.

This specific workshop was for invited companies only, K3 staff and students with a major in Interaction Design (BA, MA, or PhD level). K3 is the School of Arts and Communication at Malmö University, Sweden.

More of these workshops will follow (perhaps public), for more details, see the 1scale1 blog.

Thanks to Andreas and Fernando for coordinating this workshop and to David (of the world famous Arduino platform ) for their efforts.

See one of the videos as a result of the workshop, touchtetris (more video’s on the 1scale1 blog.

I added our company Natural User Interface Europe AB to Twitter as I might sporadically drop some messages there that I don’t want to dedicate a blog post to, inspired by a post on the blog of entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki.

On a side note, I can recommend everybody who is interested in business in general and entrepreneurship to look at Guy’s blog ocassionaly.

Feel free to follow our activities there…

Natural User Interface (NUI) showcased the Horizon and NUI Suite Snowflake, last December 2008, in Singapore in partnership with Raffles Education, the largest private education group in Asia.

One of the demonstrations took place during the students graduate ceremony in the luxurous Ritz Carlton Hotel on the 10th of December.

On 12-14 December, there was a showcase at the public National Library of Singapore.

You can read the news item in the news section of the NUI website here.

I hope everybody had a great time with family and friends during Christmas.
I want to wish everybody who has been visiting my blog a Happy NUI Year in 2009, a lot of success, health and prosperity.
Special thanks goes out to the NUI Group community, for the passionate people who continue to join and share their ideas so openly and make multi-touch technology development so accessible.

Thanks to Adi for the picture.

Best,
