Bill Buxton from the University of Toronto, and currently a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, will be giving a talk called 'Of boards, wetware and the social life of appliances' at the Cambridge Network Open Meeting on 1st March 2005. More details can be found on the Cambridge Network website. The event is free to members of the Cambridge Network, but unfortunately costs £30 for non-members.
On his website (www.billbuxton.com) Bill describes himself as:
... a designer and a researcher concerned with human aspects of technology. His work reflects a particular interest in the use of technology to support creative activities such as design, film making and music. Buxton's research specialties include technologies, techniques and theories of input to computers, technology mediated human-human collaboration, and ubiquitous computing.
Should make for a very interesting evening...
