Description:
Thanks to the success of Wii and iPhone, the public is getting more familiar with interaction paradigms that go beyond keyboard+mouse. We need to embrace gestures, accelerometers, sensors, and more. This panel will show you where things are headed and what do you need to be ready for them.
Questions
Answered:
  1. How do I think about gestural interactions?
  2. What technologies might supplant keyboard and mouse?
  3. How do I design for multiple people using the same device?
  4. When are large-scale multitouch interfaces appropriate?
  5. Is this stuff for real, or will it go away?
  6. What do I need to do differently to design for these new paradigms?
  7. What things am I already doing that won't have to change?
  8. What are the challenges in working between designers and developers?

I'm particularly interested in Merholz' panel conversation around question #5, "Is this stuff for real, or will it go away?" Sounds like the foundational info around gestural interactions will be a quick springboard into "what happens next," which would be great. Looking forward to this panel.

I'm looking forward to this one too -- I think it will intersect nicely with the "browsing the future" panel. Look forward to hearing some interesting insights. Really like the emphasis on the physical layer.

I'd be super into learning from Kris. Dig it!
