Watch David Merrill’s “Natural Interactions with Digital Content” Seminar on People, Computers, and Design at Stanford University
In this talk, David Merrill gives us an overview of his research on a number of novel platforms for accessing and manipulating digital content. These systems use expressive gesture and visual attention as inputs, explore multi-user interaction, and leverage our understanding of physical materials. I will focus on my most ambitious project and Ph.D. topic, Siftables, a tangible interaction platform that gives physical embodiment to information and digital media items. The system utilizes sensing, graphical display, embedded computation and wireless communication to free interactions with digital content from the desktop environment. Siftables points the way toward a new generation of interactive tools that bend to our needs, rather than bending us to meet their limitations.

Watch Jacob Burghardt’s “UX Opportunity Mapping for Knowledge Work Applications” presentation
Jacob Burghardt collated a lot of interesting thoughts on interaction design in his e-book Working through Screens, to serve as reference for product teams creating new or iteratively improved applications for thinking work (or what Peter Drucker called knowledge workers). He has been talking about his book and posted a few presentations on the web [...]

Watch Marc Rettig’s “How to Change Complicated Stuff” talk at IxDA | Interaction ‘09 Conference
In this talk Marc Rettig offers insights into the question "what is it like to actually achieve a meaningful, sustainable, positive difference in life?", drawing lessons from a number of serious, heartfelt attempts to affect change. The work we have all done in recent decades has prepared us to take on much bigger challenges. The foundations of design remain powerfully effective. That said, there are ways in which “designing for change” requires additions to our inventory of methods, and transformations in the way we plan and conduct our work [...]
