Artefact hosted an IxDA event in June, which focused on the growing topic of Natural User Interfaces (NUIs). One of our speakers is pictured in the center, Dennis Wixon, a pioneer in HCI and NUIs and a collaborator with us on our recent NUI Manifesto project that I worked on and completed. To get ready for the event, Microsoft Surface lent us a couple of their multitouch tables. We also built our own do-it-yourself multitouch tables along with other working demos of exploratory and tangible NUI interfaces. Read the full article about the event here.

During his visit, he demonstrated how you can sell a design by mimicking the experience on the spot, and that the best way to know how something works is by making it yourself. Together, these examples make a great case on the power of prototyping and experimentation as a way to understand things. Read the full article on his visit here.

Thanks to friends like Nikolai Cornell and Adriana Parcero, I have been inspired to finally jump on the Wordpress bandwagon.
