I wanted to let you know about the latest conference by The Tech Virtual, "Interfaces for the New Decade" which happens

Tuesday, November 15 in San Jose, CA and online.

The conference brings together people and projects generated from The Tech Virtual (http://www.thetechvirtual.org) and includes a workshop focused on the needs of museum professionals.

Attendees will interact with the developers and the interactives themselves, exploring how museums and other public-space designers can use these emerging technologies to enhance visitor learning and experience.

Registration is open now at: http://testzone2011.eventbrite.com

Some of the technologies we'll be looking at include:

• Augmented Reality
• Deformable Surfaces
• Eye Tracking
• Feedback Methods
• Gestural Interfaces
• Gigapixel Images
• Motion Sensing
• Multi-touch
• Open Source
• QR Codes
• RFID
• Smartphones
• Tablet Computers

... and a bit of 3D printing thrown in as well

I hope you can join us, either in person or online.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Bob Ketner
