IAP 2003 Activities by Sponsor

Stephen S Intille

Invent the Future of User Interfaces
Stephen Intille
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 04-Jan-2003
Limited to 15 participants.
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

Participants will work in teams to create thought-provoking and entertaining videos that show compelling visions of the future of ubiquitous computing and human-computer interfaces. Visions of the future will be shown on video at each of the two introductory sessions. Some will be working research systems from MIT and other labs. Others will be more speculative visions of what the future might hold. For the remainder of IAP, students will work in teams with the help of MIT Home of the Future staff to develop storyboards and videos that convincingly show what the future could hold. Students are likely to use video editing, still photography, Photoshop hacking, and possibly even actual programming of interface mockups.

Ubiquitous Computing Design Contest
Stephen Intille, Claudio Pinhanez
Mon Jan 6, Thu Jan 9, 04-06:00pm, NE18-4FL (1CC, 4FL), Directions on website

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 05-Jan-2003
Limited to 15 participants.
Repeating event. Participants welcome at any session
Prereq: Expertise in either Flash, HTML, Java, or C

In this design contest students will work individually or in teams to design a persuasive future computing application that uses ubiquitous sensing and display technologies. Each group will use the House_n: the MIT Home of the Future Project's ubiquitous living room to create a working application or convincing demonstration of an innovative, home-based future computer interface. The environment gives the designer incredible freedom when designing applications: information can be displayed on any surface, interacted with on any surface, and change automatically based on how people interact in the environment. Teams will present their projects at the end of IAP in a session and IBM will award a prize to one outstanding idea.
