The
EU-funded proactive initiative "The Disappearing Computer" will be
holding its 3rd and final Jamboree event on November 20-22, 2003 at the
Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, Italy. The first two days are
dedicated to the final reviews of the DC-projects and not open to the
public. You are warmly invited to participate in the 'open day' for the
broader research community, which is on taking place on the third day,
i.e. Saturday 22nd November.
For
the open day, the entrance is free; registration will be done
upon arrival.
This
event will show the results and demo-prototypes created by the
projects of the Disappearing Computer Initiative of the EU
Future and Emerging Technologies. The Disappearing computer looks at new
ways of supporting and enhancing people's lives by diffusing information
technologies into everyday objects and settings. 17 projects will be
displaying their findings showing how we can diffuse information
technology into everyday objects and things, create new information
artefacts with new functionality, and provide new ways for people to
interact with technology. Most projects are in their final year and will
be showing the final results of their research- this is a golden
opportunity to see the cutting edge.
As well as the exhibitions of the DC projects, the programme will
comprise of talks by leading people in the DC field, and a number of
workshops organised by DC Net and Convivio - The Network for
People-Centred Design of Interactive Systems.
Venue:
The Officine exhibition hall and the Interaction Design Institute
Ivrea, (Blue Building), Ivrea, Italy.
