Multi-Everything: Multi-touch and the NUI Paradigm
Multi-touch is certainly one of the most talked-about interaction paradigms of the past two years, but even single-touch screens and operating systems are starting to include touch, gestures, and more to push beyond just the mouse and keyboard. This is the path towards the natural user interface, or NUI, which could be a major shift in interface design. But what’s all this good for? Who benefits? And in what contexts does it make sense? Darren David and Nathan Moody, the principals of Stimulant, will talk about how they got into this field, how they design and develop such experiences, and share their learnings from touchwalls, see-through touchscreens, surface computing, mobile experiences, and much more.

Presenters
Nathan Moody is the Design Director of Stimulant. His incredibly broad creative career spans almost every digital medium, most content delivery platforms, and the majority major of software technologies over nearly two decades. Nathan has designed award-winning interfaces, interactions, visuals, motion and sound for such clients as Adobe, Charles Schwab, General Motors, General Electric, Leapfrog, Microsoft, Oracle, The North Face, Timberland and Reebok. He’s been lucky enough to collaborate with Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Fluid, IDEO, John Maeda, l.inc design, Tolleson Design, Obscura Digital, and more. Nathan is a published magazine and book author and editor, a frequent awards judge, and noted speaker on digital creativity.

Darren David is the President and Technical Director of Stimulant. With over 13 years in the industry, Darren is an award-winning pioneer in the field of RIA development. Darren’s list of firsts includes leading development for the first Flash-based online SAT preparation course, developing the first WPF-based application to be publicly deployed on Windows Vista, and engineering the UI for the world’s largest multi-touch wall. His interests and experiences cover a vast range of creative and technical ground, enabling him to bring innovative and informed solutions to clients such as Microsoft, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, The North Face, Reebok and JanSport. Darren regularly presents at industry conferences, and has served on advisory boards at both Adobe and Microsoft.

Are location-based services going to be key to its success, or is there more to the future of this most social of devices? How can brands engage in the mobile social space?

Spurred on by web leaders like Facebook and MySpace and with lower data charges spreading for mobile web access, mobile social usage has soared.

Will there be a battle for survival among the current myriad of mobile-only social networks and video / blogging platforms, or can they succeed with focus on novel functionality and user experience? Should online niche social networks also make the move to mobile? Where are the revenue streams and how effective can the ROI be?

Join us on 11th November to discuss the emerging trends around mobile social networks and media with our panel of industry experts...

Our session asks: How are we measuring our return on social media engagement? Is social media ROI (return on investment) a key to campaign success?

With hundreds of tools for tracking, monitoring, analyzing and general probing of online social activity, what should we be measuring for ROI effectiveness? And with the economic downturn making waves, just how effective can these tools be and how are they impacting campaigns?

Join us at E Commerce Expo 2008 to discuss approaches to measuring ROI on social media engagement and explore the issues this are raising for marketers and business.

Not that much of a groups person? Not sure who to march with? The New York Area Bisexual Network (NYABN) welcomes EVERYONE regardless of class, caste, religion, ethnicity, gender-identity, sexual orientation, dis/ability, age, income, education, job (or lack thereof), etc., etc., etc.

Bring your neighbors, bring your friends, bring your classmates, bring your pals from the office, bring your spouse, bring your family, bring the kids, bring your dog (really! it's a great walk for them), bring that cute person you just met last night (wink), bring your own group's banner, bring your own sign or just bring you own beautiful self!

Afterward lets hang out and get to know each other, make plans for some future fun Meetups and Parties or to get more involved in your local Bi Pride Groups. Lets rest our feet, grab a bite to eat, then go explore PrideFest, watch the (lavender!) fireworks over the Hudson and maybe even go to the Dance on the Pier.

So hope to see YOU there come Rain or Shine!
