Presented live at FITC Amsterdam 2014 on Feb 24-25, 2014 More details can be found at www.FITC.ca Interactive experiences that sustain user interest and imagination For the last couple of years, Stefan Wagner has been working in the field of interactive exhibits, including installations and software that give the audience an understanding of specific (often hard to grasp) topics. Ranging between interactive design, information visualization and creative coding, Stefan learned to love the concept of putting the user in a place where he is not merely a consumer of media, but where he gets to actively and willingly explore the content presented to him – applications that sustain user interest and imagination. In the course of his studies as well as in commercial projects, he has tried to adopt this idea. In his talk, Stefan Wagner will give you an insight into the development of some of the interactive projects he has been working or collaborating on and how they managed to catch user attention by deploying realtime visuals and/or new concepts of interaction like augmented reality and gesture-based input. He will also discuss conceptual as well as technical issues, problems and insights of these projects.

3D Internet
3D Internet in Web 3.0 is one of the most important technologies world is looking forward to. Generally, we do our things manually in the daily life, which can be said to be in the form of 3D. But when it comes to internet we are actually using it in the form of 2D rather than 3D, hence this concept i.e. 3D Internet helps in achieving that.
Accessible STEM - using innovative technologies to enhance understanding
This document discusses various affordable and accessible ways to incorporate STEM education through technology. It describes how digital design software, 3D printers, touchscreens, and adaptive apps can be used to create tactile diagrams, models, and interactive learning experiences. Specialized tools like the 3D Doodler allow both educators and students to physically draw in 3D and create shapes and objects for hands-on learning. The document advocates for playing with and adapting consumer technologies to make STEM more inclusive and personalized.
3D Internet
Also known as virtual worlds, the 3D Internet is a powerful new way for you to reach consumers, business customers, co-workers, partners, and students. It combines the immediacy of television, the versatile content of the Web, and the relationship-building strengths of social networking sites like Face book . Yet unlike the passive experience of television, the 3D Internet is inherently interactive and engaging. Virtual worlds provide immersive 3D experiences that replicate (and in some cases exceed) real life.
People who take part in virtual worlds stay online longer with a heightened level of interest. To take advantage of that interest, diverse businesses and organizations have claimed an early stake in this fast-growing market. They include technology leaders such as IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco, companies such as BMW, Toyota , Circuit City , Coca Cola, and Calvin Klein, and scores of universities, including Harvard, Stanford and Penn State .
The World Wide Web, which has started as a document bank, is rapidly transforming to a full fledged virtual environment that facilitates services, interaction, and communication.
Under this light, the Semantic Web and Web 2.0 movements can be seen as intermediate steps of a natural evolution towards a new paradigm, the 3D Internet.
Here we Going to Present How to Implement 3D internet against 2D Technology and present 3D methodologies
Tangible User Interface Showcase
This document provides an overview of physical and embodied user interfaces. It begins with definitions of physical user interfaces and a brief history of their emergence related to ubiquitous computing. It then discusses frameworks for designing physical interfaces, including MCRit and Reality-Based Interaction, that aim to combine physical and digital aspects. The document showcases several research projects applying physical interfaces in domains like learning, social interaction, and information visualization. It concludes by outlining pros like increased usability and enjoyment, as well as challenges like requiring design of both physical and digital aspects and accounting for social/cultural contexts of physical interaction.
Six sense
Sixth sense technology aims to more seamlessly integrate online information and technology into everyday life by linking digital devices and interactions with the physical world without using the standard five senses. It was initially developed at MIT as a gesture interface and 3D drawing pen, and has evolved into a prototype that uses a camera, projector, and smart phone worn around the neck to recognize objects and automatically display information that can then be accessed in various ways. Some potential applications include calling up maps, checking the time, getting product information, and more.
3D INTERNET
Pabitra Mohan Padhy, a 6th semester CSE student at Gandhi Institute of Industrial Technology, presented a seminar on 3D internet. The presentation covered an introduction to 3D internet and its power, technical implications and solutions, and obstacles to commercial success. It discussed how 3D internet could converge the physical and virtual worlds through virtual environments accessed via avatars. While high bandwidth and hardware limitations currently pose challenges, technologies like 3G internet and augmented reality devices may help overcome these issues. The seminar concluded that 3D internet could fundamentally change how people experience the internet.
Next generation User interfaces
This document discusses several next generation user interfaces including gesture interfaces, augmented reality, voice user interfaces, and tangible user interfaces. Gesture interfaces allow interaction through bodily motions detected by cameras or sensors. Augmented reality enhances the real world with computer-generated perceptual information. Voice user interfaces enable interaction through speech. Tangible user interfaces couple physical objects with digital information for manipulation. These emerging interfaces provide more natural, intuitive ways for humans to interact with technology beyond the traditional graphical user interface.

6th Sense Project by Pranav Mistry
The Sixth Sense device is a wearable gestural interface created by Pranav Mistry that allows users to interact with digital information using natural hand gestures. It consists of a pocket projector, mirror, and camera connected to a mobile device. The camera tracks colored markers on the user's fingers to interpret gestures and project information from the internet onto surrounding surfaces. Some features include accessing product information by pointing at items in a store, checking flight statuses from paper tickets, and projecting additional information onto surfaces like books and newspapers. The device costs $350 and has potential educational uses such as virtual field trips, portable research, and facilitating collaboration and connection between students.
Microsoft Surface Technology
This document describes Microsoft Surface technology, specifically a new type of interactive surface called Second Light. It discusses how Second Light uses a switchable projection screen that can rapidly switch between diffuse and clear states, allowing dual projections both on and through the surface. This enables interactions like projecting augmented images on objects above the surface. It provides examples like revealing hidden layers by projecting through translucent objects. Second Light also allows tracking mobile surfaces like magic lenses to support distortion-free projections as the surfaces move. Overall, Second Light expands the interaction space beyond the surface itself using its unique switchable screen.

Students are then asked to brainstorm their own ideas for innovative new technologies that could provide an interface between people and information as capable as a personal computer.
Introducing Immersive Technologies for Libraries
Immersive Technologies imitate or extend our physical world via digital simulations to give us the sense of being completely absorbed into something. Spatial computing is a new form of immersive technology that combines computer vision and artificial intelligence to integrate visual content into the real-world around us. In this webinar:
• Understand Immersive Technologies and see how they will impact everything ranging from education to entertainment.
• Learn the differences between virtual, augmented, and mixed realities to introduce Spatial Computing.
• Hear about the tools, devices, and platforms creating these new experiences.
• Discuss potential issues these technologies may have when used in learning and teaching.
• See what libraries can do to make use of immersive technologies to create new user experiences.
Surface Computing & Devices
Surface computing is a multi-touch technology that allows users to interact with digital content using natural hand gestures on a flat surface, replacing traditional mouse and keyboard interfaces. It uses near-infrared light and cameras to detect touch inputs and physical objects placed on the screen. Microsoft PixelSense is an example of this technology, developed over 12 years of research. It consists of infrared light sources, cameras, and a projector that work together to detect touch inputs. Surface computing enables direct interaction, multi-touch recognition, multi-user collaboration, and physical object detection. While providing a more natural user experience, surface computers are currently very expensive and best suited for enterprise rather than household use.

OVERVIEW
There are about 10,000 Google Glass devices in the wild, but only a fraction of those are in the hands of developers. Mike DiGiovanni, creator of Glass apps like Launchy, Winky, and Bulletproof, will guide you through what it takes to create a native Glass app, style it to look Glassy, and get it running on a plain old Android emulator/hardware. You will learn the some of the APIs that work best on Glass, along with a list of APIs to avoid. If the GDK remains unavailable by the time of the presentation, there will be a section on future proofing your software.
Mike will be available afterwards to give attendees the opportunity to experience Glass and get some 1-on-1 Q&A time. This is a presentation aimed at beginners to native Glass development. Some Android development experience is a plus.
Neuroscience Brightens Up the Grey Area of User Feedback
Presented at SCREENS 2013 in Toronto.
Details at fitc.ca/screens
Until now, Marketers have relied heavily on users’ explicit responses and feedback to mobile applications to determine whether their mobile commerce efforts have hit the mark. However, with so many variables, external expectations and preconceived notions weighing on people’s responses, traditional research methods like focus groups can be notoriously unreliable.
So, Plastic Mobile and True Impact Marketing conducted a study that applied neuroscience to user experience to explore what users actually saw, thought and felt when following the customer journey in three transaction-based mobile applications.
Neuroscience, or the study of the brain’s response to stimuli, shines a light on the grey area of users responses. By determining positive and negative emotions and attentional activation – rather than relying on people to say what they mean without any bias, influence, or other variables altering their true reaction – the study finds new insights into “engagement.”
By connecting sensors to designated areas of the brain, we saw which stages of a mobile transaction elicit positive or negative emotions and which areas received the most attention. The findings can help marketers and user experience designers optimize every precious pixel.

I bet you think “callback hell” is about function nesting and levels of indentation. Not so much. I bet you’ve heard that Promises replace callbacks. Nope.
We need some clarity on what async flow control is all about in JavaScript. We’ll explore the perils of “Inversion of Control”, and see just what hell that leads us to. Then we’ll talk about promises as “continuation events” for function calls, and abstractions on top of promises that clean up our code. Finally, we’ll see how generators give us synchronous-looking async, and even how we can create cooperative concurrency with coroutines.
Yield those confused async notions and control your flow. I promise we’ll get your thoughts in order.
OBJECTIVE
Learn why async flow control patterns are necessary for JS, why callbacks aren’t sufficient and how promises and generators are the solution.
TARGET AUDIENCE
JS developers
ASSUMED AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE
Intermediate to advanced JS (3+ years experience).
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
Why our brains reason about code differently than the JS engine does
Why callback hell has much less to do with nesting/indentation than you thought
What inversion of control is all about, and what trust issues it creates for our code
What promises are and why they not only make code easier to reason about, but also solve inversion of control issues
Why generators are even better, and how generators+promises are potentially the best pattern we can achieve thus far

Media Computerization
Media computerization refers to converting analog media like sound and video into digital formats that can be stored on devices and transmitted over computer networks. It involves several principles: [1] Numerical representation where all media is composed of digital code that can be algorithmically manipulated, [2] Modularity where independent elements like pixels and frames can be combined and modified, [3] Automation through software templates and filters that allow customization, and [4] Variability where media objects can exist in different potential versions. Media computerization has transformed news delivery from print and magazines to online newspapers, magazines, blogs, podcasts and news aggregators that provide globally accessible digital content.
PPT of 6th sense tech. Jagdeep Singh Sidhu
The document describes the Sixth Sense technology, a wearable gestural interface developed by Pranav Mistry in 2009. It allows users to access digital information about the physical world by projecting it onto surfaces and interacting through natural hand gestures. The system uses a camera, projector, and mirror connected to a smartphone to recognize objects, gestures, and surfaces and display related data seamlessly overlaid on the physical world. Some applications mentioned include using gestures to draw, access maps and photos, and interact with projected interfaces on surfaces like palms or walls. Educational and other potential uses are also discussed.
The Future of UX: What designers need to know to stay ahead
The document discusses upcoming trends in UX design and what designers need to know to stay ahead. It covers conversational commerce using chat/messaging interfaces, virtual reality which creates immersive 3D environments, and augmented reality which supplements the real world with additional digital elements. For each trend, it provides examples and considerations for UX design, such as designing interfaces within VR worlds and accounting for environmental conditions with AR. It emphasizes that designing for these new technologies is a major opportunity for UX designers to help define best practices. To future-proof their careers, designers need to obsess over emerging technologies that transform user interactions.
Sixth sense technology
Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface developed by Pranav Mistry that allows users to access digital information by interacting with the physical world through natural hand gestures. It consists of a camera, projector, and mirror attached to a mobile device. The camera tracks hand gestures tagged with colored markers to interpret commands, while the projector displays digital information onto surfaces based on those gestures. Potential applications include making calls, getting maps and updates, drawing, and accessing information about objects or people. The technology aims to seamlessly integrate digital and physical worlds by giving users constant awareness of their environment through a simple and transparent interface.
Reach into the computer & grab a pixel
The document introduces two tools for interacting with digital information in 3D space:
1. Beyond allows users to directly manipulate 3D digital objects using physically retractable tools that project into the digital space beyond the screen. This breaks down barriers between physical and digital worlds.
2. SpaceTop extends the desktop interface by adding a transparent display above the keyboard, allowing users to reach hands into this 3D digital workspace to directly grab and manipulate floating windows and files as if they were physical objects. This seamlessly integrates 2D and 3D interactions.

Andréa Crofts
League
Overview
Examining our responsibility as creators to design for disconnection.
The “restore connection” alert isn’t just for devices– it applies to people too. And it’s more important now than ever before.
Digital creators, we need to talk. The rise in mental health as a result of situational stress is a prevailing theme in today’s society, and some of the products we’re building are the root cause. But we have the power to change this. As creators of digital products, how might we enable our users to be more present in their lives? How might we invest in features like Instagram’s activity timer, despite the fact that they’re fundamentally counterintuitive to the usage metrics most behemoth tech companies are driving towards?
We have a responsibility as creators of digital products to enable others to disconnect …and re-connect with themselves, physically and mentally. This intersection is an emerging category Andrea likes to call digital health, and it’s something we can create together.
Objective
To share actionable strategies, principles and considerations for designing with digital health top of mind. Andrea will get into some #realtalk about how we can collectively create more balance and presence for the humans using our products.
Target Audience
Designers and digital creators of all kinds – especially those building digital products at scale!

REDspace
Overview
JavaScript’s popularity has exploded over the last decade, taking it from a laughable scripting language to one that powers much of the web today. Because it’s so flexible and so easy to learn, it’s extremely popular with new developers looking to cut their teeth in programming. However, these strengths are also weaknesses, as it’s incredibly easy to write bad JavaScript without even knowing it.
A lot of these newer developers jump from “Hello, World!”, to TodoMVC in order to find the library that makes their life easier. By doing this, they skip over some of the important details of not only how JavaScript works, but also how to optimize its performance to ensure the best user experience.
The Chrome profiler is a very handy tool that not a lot of developers have experience with. In this talk, we’ll take a beginner’s look at the profiler tool and examine how to use it to best improve your web application, and identify bottlenecks in your code without having to rely only on console.log statements.
Objective
To help developers understand how to better make use of the JavaScript profiler.

Chris Zacharias
imgix
Overview
The average website loads over 1.5MBs of content per page, making over 75 requests. Many popular websites are serving over 5MBs just to load their homepages. And these numbers represent measurements taken AFTER compression is applied. The full weight of many popular websites is pushing 20+ MBs these days. In an era where performance truly matters to the end user experience, web developers need techniques to help curtail this bloat in data down the wire.
No matter how well you optimize, there is no better way to than to delete things you do not need. How does one determine what is essential to the user experience and what is not? One answer Chris posits is to develop a hyper-lightweight version of your website which will provide critical insights into your specific performance priorities. This is a process that he has leveraged on many projects, in particular at YouTube to reduce the size of the video watch page from 1.5MBs to 100KBs. In this talk, Chris will take real-world web pages and show techniques for dramatically reducing their page weight and for identifying areas to optimize, while outlining the key steps to doing this well.
Objective

Overview
An exploration of the process of creation. We live in a time where technology and inspiration are more readily available and accessible than ever before. That being said we also live in a time that mostly highlights the successes of projects and process. In this particular talk Michael wants to touch on the process of creation with technology at VT Pro, to further explore a full circle approach to inspiration and creation where often times our next project is inspired by something learned in the process of creating something else.
By exploring what went wrong and what went right in a number of different projects he’s created, Michael will touch on points where inspiration can be found in this world of seemingly endless technology; the importance of collaboration; what can be learned from the moments that don’t necessarily go as planned; and how often projects come close to failure than the audience ever knows. Lastly he wants to touch on the process of finding personal inspiration to inspire an audience, and the momentum to push further that comes from their energy.

Sands Fish
MIT Media Lab
Overview
Today, the environments that humans occupy in space are designed for survival. Humans are carefully shuttled to and from space, and during their relatively short stays, they are provided with minimum supplies to remain alive and able to perform experiments. As we begin to plan less for short visits and more for life in space (such as a six to eight month trip to Mars and beyond) the question becomes: What does human culture look like in space?
This talk will explore how human culture, design, and creativity might evolve as we begin to live in space, and the unique environmental conditions that might guide us in certain directions, just as the environment on Earth has. It will discuss space tourism, living in zero gravity, and some experiments in art and design that hint at future aesthetics.
Objective
Convey what opportunities exist at the outset of a more democratized New Space age, and call out the aesthetics, ethics, and cultural frontiers we find ourselves faced with at the end of the second decade of this century.

PWAs are a newly emerging delivery format for web, desktop apps. The fact that they can be installed on a client device and behave like natively installed apps means that special care should be taken when designing and building these types of apps, above and beyond a typical browser-only web application. One of the most important (potential) differentiators in the user experience of a PWA app vs a traditional web app is the ability to provide a high-performance UI because of their ability to do things like cache resources offline, including entire pieces of Web UI code, and the use of background services. In this talk we are going to do an exhaustive overview of the entire landscape of building PWAs from a performance-first perspective.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
