The jinni and the city - Stefan Klocek & Chris NoesselUXconference
We are on the verge of the next era in Human-Computer Interaction: Agentive technologies accessed through “Natural” interactions. In this talk by Cooper Directors Christopher Noessel and Stefan Klocek, we will discuss the nature of these technologies, the challenges that they will pose for interaction designers and urban planners, the best metaphors for thinking about these technologies, and share three scenarios illustrating what it might be like to interact with Jinn technology in the context of the city.
Created as a design proposal that featured urban-surfaces and street-furniture derived from vernacular color studies of the District Del Sol of St. Paul, MN. Done in Kevin Byrne’s Visual Thinking course at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, 2008-2010
