14. Hybrid Tools Moving past a hard 2d interface
Incorporating motion, tactile feedback, audio and visual stimuli
Devices such as computers and tablets are generally flat, hard, 2d surfaces. How can we incorporate more of the natural environment into an interface where we use a combination of touch, motion and use of physical props as input.

Tool targeting the enhancement of sequesncing, memory, and saccadic eye movement though gameplay informed by research on dyslexia, ocularmoror tracking skills and pre-academic reading skills

17. Hybrid Tools - Purmee #a2ruEdge
Not everyone learns the same. With advances in technology we can bring more diverse multi sensory interaction into the classroom.

18. Purmee engages multiple senses to increase learning through human perception with a new type of interface. Incorporating motion, tactile feedback, audio, visual stimuli, and eventually including 3D visuals.

19. Hybrid Tools - Multi-sensory
“Due to the complexity of human perception, there is a growing trend in the design of interfaces towards multimodal human-computer interfaces. This is motivated by the facts that humans naturally employ multimodal information channels for communication, and that multimodal interfaces have been demonstrated to be effective”
(Brondi, Avizzano, Tripicchio, 2014)

23. Lessons from Emerging Creatives
Have an idea, layer everyone’s experience on it.
Sign in d.school: The only way to do it is to do it.
“Stuck” is 100 milliseconds from “Aha!”
Physical space matters. Face to face is important. Collaboration & failure leads to success. Requires “radically humble” people.
Develop conditioned action to let go.

24. Lessons from Emerging Creatives
“Hardening of the categories leads to art failure.” — Kenneth Snelson
How to deemphasize credit? Systems/institutions might not scale but individuals do — Collaborate with people who don’t mind being anonymous.
Meet the variety
