Please Biofeed the Zombies demo video up on Youtube

Conference, design, game, , , , , ,

Our paper on biofeedback used for a half-life 2 zombie game was shown at DiGRA 2007 (Toyko). We presented a new demo movie last week at UX Australia 2010 in Melbourne during our talk for Blood Sweat and Fears which is now up on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-MinR-17CA. Thanks to Andrew Dekker!

PS I love the idea to sketchnote conference talks.

real presence is shouting over others

Conference

http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/hp-dreamworks-promote-virtual-meetings-halo-686 The Halo Collaboration Studio, unveiled Monday, is a system of carefully placed plasma televisions, cameras, and microphones that allows two groups of up to six people to hold a live meeting in two separate locations. Conceived by Dreamworks as a response to travel concerns after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Halo allows meeting participants to make eye contact, share files and documents, and shout over each other in an attempt to be heard, just like a real meeting.

Report on UX Australia 2010 Conference

Conference

Penny Hagen and Vicky Teinaki via Johnny Holland magazine gave a great sum up of a very very well run conference (uxaustralia 2010) where I just presented at in Melbourne with Andrew Dekker on his/our biofeedback project using half-life 2.
Mr Holland also mentions our piece briefly and very succinctly.

CFP: Making Design and Analyzing Interaction

Conference, design,

CfP for intent to contribute to the track “Making Design and Analyzing Interaction” organized by Jared Donovan and Trine Heinemann at the Participatory Innovation Research Conference, January 14-16, 2011, Sønderborg, Denmark.
PINC 2011 is a forum where participants from different disciplines and organisations can meet and challenge each other to develop the field of participatory innovation. Of special interest to Design Research scholars should be the track “Making Design and Analyzing Interaction” (Chairs: Jared Donovan and Trine Heinemann), as described below:
Participatory Innovation brings a wide range of stakeholders together in generative spaces where different perspectives can be challenged in constructive ways. An important research aim is to understand how this meeting of perspectives can be supported by tangible activities of “making”, such as for instance, prototyping, provotyping, tinkering, generative toolkits and forum theatre. “Making” should be understood not only as giving form to pre-established ideas, but also as a process through which innovation emerges out of the messy collision of people and stuff.
The aim of this track is to gather together examples from participatory innovation practices that involve “making”, so that track participants can build an understanding across the diverse range of tangible activities and open these up for (comparative) analysis. This track brings together ‘makers’ (interaction designers, process facilitators), who are willing to share video clips of their engaging participatory activities, with ‘analysts’ (conversation analysts etc.), who are able to investigate whether some of these activities serve particularly well in certain contexts or at certain stages of the process.
Researchers from Design Research and other related fields who are interested in contributing to this track should note that the ‘intention to contribute’ deadline is very soon – the 27th August 2010.
For this, we ask potential contributors to submit either:
– a video example of a participatory ‘making’ activity in the form of an unedited video-recording of 5-20 minutes, showing the activity as it has been employed in one or more contexts.
– an intent to analyse, including a brief description of method experience and a possible line of analysis. Analyses from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and from both micro- and macro-levels are encouraged.
For further information contact Jared Donovan at jared<mailto:jared> or check our (as yet) static conference site:http://www.pinc.sdu.dk/index.html
Keynote speaker for this track will be Lorenza Mondada.

Venue: http://slurl.com/secondlife/jokaydia%20Waters/65/171/22 in Second Life and at Brown’s Mart Theatre, Darwin CBD
Become your own Avatar and navigate through the fascinating virtual gallery Virtual Impressions in Second Life.
Created in partnership with Charles Darwin University’s Northern Editions and the School of Creative Arts and Humanities for the Darwin Festival, this unique on-line platform enables visitors to view the centuries-old art form of printmaking with the new virtual environment.
This interactive gallery experience is linked to a CDU research project in new media technologies, ‘Virtual Galleries’, and provides alternative ways to view, consider and discuss fine art.
It showcases the best of the freshly released limited edition prints that have been produced at Northern Editions and replicates on-line the two physical exhibitions at Charles Darwin University’s Casuarina Campus, Tiwi Shima and Nexus.
Darwin Festival goers and arts lovers from around the globe are invited to explore all three Northern Editions’ exhibitions, both physically and virtually, interact on-line with the curator and chat with other virtual visitors.
The opening event will also include a ‘live stream’ of our physical art gallery with a user-controlled Internet camera so that the users can take control of the camera and pan, tilt and zoom to the artworks that they are interested in. Compare the physical artwork with the virtual experience and let us know your “Impressions”.

cfp:Design Ed Asia

Conference, design, game, virtual heritage,

http://www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/designedconference2010/index.php

Design Education has the chance to preserve world cultures, and the skills of those cultures, through digital, fashion, graphic, interior and product design. In some regions of the world, it may be one of the only ways to preserve the visible language of a culture. Do you have an important story to tell about design and culture? Are the artifacts your students design steeped in the culture of their region or are they made for a nondescript global market? Please share your insights with us at DesignEd Asia.

We invite papers in the following topic areas:

  • Successful cultural content integration into the curriculum
  • Regional cultural design projects
  • Sustainability and cultural designs
  • Entrepreneurial local cultural designs
  • Designing for other cultures
  • or a topic of your choice that relates to design education

One of the most striking features of digital media in museums today is their potential for linking and integrating resources, spaces and users in an multiple and proactive ways. The topics of this year’s NODEM conference – Inside, Outside and Virtual – explores how content can be shared and gain exposure across online and onsite services and exhibitions. Special focus is on how users can contribute to knowledge production on different exhibition platforms.

The theme From Place to Presence devotes special attention towards how digital media can be supporting tools for experiences, reflection and knowledge inside AND outside the museum – as well as to discussing the concept of museums as knowledge arenas.
