We had a short but intense time discussing various aspects of touch related design and came up with several low fidelity prototypes exploring this topic. During the coming week we will be posting some pictures & a roundup of the workshop, that way we would like to invite everyone to join and share their toughts or ideas.

Stay tuned!

As you might have noticed the format of our workshop is very creative and hands on. Therefore we want to provide enough creativity sparks and ideas, but also a decent convergence of all the created ’stuff” at the workshop. To help us capture all the experiences and things created we invited Marc Godon from Alcatel Lucent to the workshop to make sure the creativity level is high and the created output is ‘understandable’ afterwards.

Marc Godon is a member of the Shared Experiences department at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs in Antwerp, Belgium. He is responsible for several external projects,coaching creativity, and conducting user research. He is interested in all aspects of new and valuable experience designs, and the application of creative opportunity scouting techniques for finding new application concepts. 

Looking forward to seeing you all at Interact2009!
