{ Look Into the Future with Autodesk Labs: Multi touch wall (Part II) }

Doug Look from Autodesk Labs experiments with Autodesk’s design software on a Multi-Touch Wall device, produced by Perceptive Pixel and invented by researcher and (TED conference luminary) Jeff Han. Multi-touch human-computer interfaces may dramatically change how products, infrastructure, and buildings are designed.

The video allows you to imagine new ways to interact with large displays and multi-touch interfaces and inspires a discussion on what might, in the not-so-distant future, dramatically change how products, infrastructure, and buildings are designed.

What is Information Design?

Coined by Richard Saul Wurman in 1976, Information Design is a field and approach to designing clear, understandable communications by giving care to structure, context, and presentation of data and information, in the effort of making information as effective as possible. As a field, its principles relate to all communications products and experiences, regardless of medium: print, broadcast, digital, online, etc. Information Design is primarily concerned with clarity (instead of simplicity) and understanding, and with readers and users responses to information presented textually, graphically or in the form of an animation.
