weaving digital information into physical space
DESCRIPTION
Slides from my UX Australia 2011 talk on integrating digital information into physical environments. In the talk I outlined how this field has evolved in the past decades. The second half of the talk discussed specific challenges in the context of the Neighbourhood Scoreboards project. For more information visit the project website: http://neighbourhoodscoreboards.com/ More information about the talk is available from the UX Australia website: http://uxaustralia.com.au/conference-2011/weaving-digital-information-into-physical-spaceTRANSCRIPT
