Wow. I will go to the MIT MediaLab and present the SMSlingshot while the TEI conference end of january. This will be fun…. I can´t believe it. THE MIT!!! And it´s getting much more unbelievable, because there will propably be a workshop I will give, too. Currently I am preparing everything like slides, materials, models and some software tasks, so I might be a bit inconvenient at the moment for other things.

Next to all this, there will be some more stuff going on the InterfaceBlog hosted by Form und Zweck. Right now there has to be some construction and update work done, but from next week on everything is prepared. Like the years before I will report from the TEI conference with interviews, background informations, videos from talks, keynotes and demos to let you know about what is going on in the fields of tangible and embedded interactions. What´s new this time is that I will supported by my friend, former band mate and fellow student Sascha Bruk. At the moment he is researcher at the Dresden based Institute for Design and Innovation working on gestural interfaces. He will bring in a fresh and detailed view on the shown material. I look forward to do this trip with him!

Stay tuned!
