Summer 2007 Thesis Project and Writing
Over this summer I'm working on my thesis project. This continues the research I've worked on together with Saul in Calgary, and introduces a few ideas to make prototyping of distributed physical user interfaces a bit easier. I will write more about the thesis project on this website later this summer. Unfortunately I can't come to CHI this year, but I'm sure it will be a great conference in San Jose! And CHI '08 is coming soon :-)
