One of my projects that demonstrates “Experiential Prototyping” and the method of using “Blank Devices” in the interaction design process is featured in the new book The New Ecology of Things (NET) available at amazon.com. Go get yourself one here! Authors include: Phillip Van Allen, Bruce Sterling, Anne Burdick, Holly Willis, Nikolaus Hafermaas, Brenda Laurel

I’ll be presenting new methods of experience design including the use of “blank devices” and “experiential prototyping” at UpNext 2007 in Los Angeles on Marh 8th. I will also be showing examples from various Microsoft groups that demonstrate the methods in practice. UpNext 2007 is a “bi-annual conference on the future of media design held at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. This year’s theme is the Long Zoom, a dialogue about how designers need to jump between the macro and the micro as they are called upon to imagine systems, services, ecologies, experiences, and networks.” Stay tuned for more on the event.

Thanks to friends like Nikolai Cornell and Adriana Parcero, I have been inspired to finally jump on the Wordpress bandwagon. This is the first post among many that will document progress with ongoing investigations toward new methods of interaction and user experience at Microsoft, my personal ongoing research, and beautiful discoveries that I can’t help but share.
