Tim Merritt, Ph.D. (National University of Singapore)Assistant Professor, Interaction DesignAarhus School of Architecture – www.aarch.dkTimothy.merritt@aarch.dktimerrit@cs.au.dk

• Teach interaction design mainly at Aarhus University

• Research on shape changing/actuated interfaces, how people respond to humans compared to computers, biological media hybrids

Oh Music Where Art Thou?

1. Since the system is available as an app and it has been downloaded thousands of times, what feedback have you gotten from the users?

2. Can you share with us any upcoming changes or new features planned?

3. Are you able to make money from it and what advice do you have for others who are building mobile apps?

4. Can people use your system to make game-like interactions?

Botanicus Interacticus

1. Coming from Disney Research, can we expect this to be used in a theme park? When? Or other products?

2. You had the system at SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies Gallery, what kind of feedback did you get? Anything unexpected?

3. Could this be incorporated into someone’s clothing? Perhaps conductive yarn in patterns, so that when touching things in the world, the system can detect the gestures?

4. Aside from business potential, is it possible to use prototyping boards for academic researchers to try it?

Joggobot

1-Does the joggobot function as an avatar for a distant running buddy as well?

2-Ideas for extending it? Example, can it take action photos of the runner and post them to Facebook?

3-So the robot runs the human and the human walks the dog… can the robot pick up after the dog?!

4-What about multiple runners? Each with a joggobot or sharing one?

Questions for the honorary mentions

Floating about-is there an optimal number of people to use it together?

-have you had any experiences where outsiders see people using the system? What is the reaction?

Digital Taste Synthesizer-are there ways to embed this technology into existing gadgets?

-can you share any more details from your user studies?
