Chris Noessel and Nathan Shedroff co-present this panel, a follow-up to last year's popular presentation about the relationship between science fiction and interfaces.

This should be interesting on many levels. Also, it will probably be the only panel at SXSW to use the word "orgasmatron" in a sentence.

I saw Mr.s Noessel and Shedroff present during the last conference and was incredibly impressed by the amount of time they spent on the presentation as well as the quality of information it contained. Did it help me professionally? Absolutely! Do I see the suggested follow up benefitting me in many ways?? Are you kidding?? Heck Yeah!!! I can't wait to tell my husband...
