Defuse 2010 – A synopsis & bibliography
November 2nd, 2010Tonight we will be giving one of 13 quick-fire talks in the Sugar Club, Dublin. These talks are in the Ignite format and are part of the Defuse event, organised by the IXDA (Interaction Designers Association).
We will be talking directly about the space where physical products mesh with digital content. This will touch on, without giving too much away, how new thinking around how objects create data is creating new product opportunities. Throughout this talk we will qualify the thinking with several real world examples. The purpose of this post is to give credit to those involved in creating these projects, and to help you to delve deeper into this phenomenon if it interests you.
