> This week we are going to start trying something new with our speakers.  I've created appointment slots for those interested in meeting with the speaker after the seminar.  Note that I don't always know beforehand how long a speaker can stay, so it's probably a good idea to grab the first slots when you can!  https://www.google.com/calendar/selfsched?sstoken=UU9fVy1BT29Ia0NpfGRlZmF1bHR8ZDJhYTVjOTU0OTBhZjc0Y2FmMzY5MDE4Y2NkYzAwYmU  Our speaker this week can stay until about 2:30.

> Crafting Immersive Interactivity
> 
> What is meant by an “immersive experience”, and why do our best museums, games
> and product designers seek ever more inventive and elaborate experiences to hold their
> audiences in an “immersive state”?
> 
> As Creative Director of San-Francisco based Snibbe Interactive, Graham develops ways
> of capturing the imaginations of his client’s audiences, crafting new forms of natural
> user interaction, creating moments that inspire a sense of wonder as they intelligently
> inform. Recent projects include an exhibition with James Cameron about the technology
> behind the making of “Avatar”, Björk’s Biophillia app, interactive exhibit’s for Sony
> Headquarters in New York, giant gestural installations at Olympics and expos, and
> educational exhibits for museums across North America and Canada.
> 
> By comparing two radically different projects; a cube filled with water and light, with a
> motion-capture performance exhibit for James Cameron, Graham will ask; “what kinds
> of qualities should we seek out and nurture when creating an immersive interactive
> experience?”, with insights into the process of crafting experiences from bits and atoms.
> 
> About the Speaker:
> As Creative Director of Snibbe Interactive, Graham manages a creative department that
> works closely with the Lead Engineer and his team to build interactive products across
> 9 different platforms, utilizing technologies that include IR and depth sensing cameras,
> gyroscopic position sensing, multi-touch tables, motion capture volumes, ipad and
> mobile.
> 
> Graham has been designing immersive interactive experiences for museums,
> corporations, entertainers, events, retail, healthcare, and performing arts venues
> the past 12 years, with more than 200 interactive installations installed in more than
> 60 museums across 5 continents. Winner of 9 international design awards, he also
> practices as a media artist, using light, electricity and magnetism to make play with the
> natural properties of physical media.
