interaction design

I am currently setting up an interaction design research project in the area of home entertainment and communication. A special focus will be on new technologies as gesture-based interaction and multi-touch. The project will last 4 months and will take place in Berlin.

Now, we are looking for interaction designers with an experience in physical computing/programming as well as user-centered design processes. Experience in designing and implementing interactive exhibits or in designing interactions for consumer electronics would be useful.

It would be nice if you could stay in Berlin for the next three to four month during this project. And believe me: Berlin is worthwhile spending some time!

For a 5-months research project I am looking for an Interaction Designer, who would like to play a major role in an academic project – sponsored by the industry.

Starting from the Apple patent for Gestures for touch sensitive input devices and from research as Navigation with spatially aware handheld displays we will do a creative exploration of tactile interaction with handheld devices.

I am looking for somebody, who is familiar with the status-quo in this area (research and art) and who is also able to conceptually develop new interaction design ideas and implement them with what we call "just-enough-prototyping"-techniques (as e.g. video prototyping and physical computing).

What I am mostly excited about in this project is that there is budget for experts to help us and that we will even be able to invite a research-guru from Japan and one from the US to give us feedback! 

The project will be starting as soon as possible and taking place in Berlin (during the World-Cup – if anybody cares). Please contact me: wettach (a) fh-potsdam.de
