Dorkbot CPH was held at CIID in Copenhagen. We did a presentation about Biometric Social Interaction while it was still in its stages of infancy but had a great discussion and met some fantastic people in the process!
My session for Bar Camp Berlin 3, centered on the use of Visual Imagery for Blogs, integration with Flickr and how photos can be used to create reactions in viewers.
In GeekPhysical workshops, hands on learning means everyone learns enough about electricity, wiring, sensors, micro computing, motors, switches, lights, and many other fantastic interfaces so they can go home with the necessary tools to keep exploring.
My session for BlogCamp Switzeralnd 3.0, centered on the integration of Flickr and blogging, how to leverage Flickr for content distribution and connecting with readers.

My lightening talk from the Zurich Frontend 2012 conference. Basically I want to take the optimization techniques I know from mechanical engineering and apply them to user experience and interaction design. Why do we still design user interfaces when they could just be optimized for different user groups and types.
Our devices should know us and scale the user interface design directly to us and our user needs.

Design for marketing technical businesses is complicated, because the product is complicated, but the consumers are ill-suited to evaluate it. Simplicity and good design are essential to successfully marketing technical products and services.
“Core” Experience - Exploring Less Obvious Design Approaches To Exercise Games
This presentation investigates the so far under-explored experiential potential of exercise games. It takes its departure from the observation that exercise games largely focus on simulating sports activities (e.g. snowboarding, surfing, dancing or yoga) instead of trying to model the experience of what it feels like to actually engage in these activities. The central hypothesis of this talk is that the experience of any kind of physical activity is never solely (or primarily) about the physical, tangible aspects of the activity but about how these aspects make us feel and think. Exercise games mostly
ignore this part of exercising, maybe assuming that by simulating the activity its mental aspects will happen by themselves. This presentation explores what is lost by this current design approach and what an alternative route could look like. By way of concrete, original design examples, new avenues of exploration for exercise games shall be sketched out and put forth for discussion.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GeekPhysical at Dorkbot CPH
1. GeekPhysical
Presenting.... biometrics!
Monday, February 7, 2011
2. GeekPhysical
Bringing geeking into the physical world.
Power usage? Social norms? Physical body? Electronics?
Monday, February 7, 2011
3. BioMetrics
Feedback from body signals such as:
Heart Rate Temperature Breath
Monday, February 7, 2011
4. How do people socially interact?
Monday, February 7, 2011
5. Biometric Social Interaction
• Using body signals to tell us what is
happening when people interact.
• 3 Projects:
• Critical Corset
• Bio System 1
• Bio System 2 (Wireless)
• Necklace
Monday, February 7, 2011
6. Critical Corset
Tightens when your heart rate goes up
Monday, February 7, 2011
7. Concept
Corset tightens as your heart rate rises
Monday, February 7, 2011
8. Technical: Prototype 1Fabric corset didn’t
hold hourglass shape, and instead
expanded when tightened.
Monday, February 7, 2011
13. Conclusions
Conditioning of wearing the corset can have
intriguing results, making the wearer more aware
of their own physiological reactions.
Public awareness means that people will be
playful in their interactions and will initiate contact.
Monday, February 7, 2011
14. The Next Level
Heart Rate wasn’t enough.
• Heart Rate could activity, caffeine... etc.
anything, physical
have been caused by
• We needed to breath. more. Thus,
temperature /
measure
Monday, February 7, 2011
15. A new system
• The new system
measured heart rate,
temperature and
breath.
• It outputted this
information in the
form of a visualization
that everyone could
see.
Monday, February 7, 2011
18. • 2 Questions: How do people react to talking
to each other? How do people react when
they know their bio-signals are being shown
to everyone else?
Monday, February 7, 2011
19. Improving the system
• It would be ideal to:
• Have a smaller more portable system
• Have more than one person interact
• Have a wireless system
