Description
To experience, get inspired, discuss, possibly hack alternative forms of interacting with information.
=Flow visualized around wing cut from paper moved across screen: https://opensource.com/life/16/3/image-processing-nasa
=Project 3D landscape on sandtable: http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/
=Physical Blockly (/Scratch/whatever) jigsaws, put camera above table, valid programs run on screen [idea]
=Play Sudoku on mobile, reflected in LEDcube. Future: interaction on cube [hardware ready, software started]
=Big touchtable to draw general graphs (networks) cooperatively quicker than on whiteboard.
=v2 of 'reshaped desktop to walk with free hands to communicate'. See Twitter bio photo [in development]
=White surface to throw (velcro?) darts at, camera detects hits, project image: Politician / Dartboard
resizing on handicap / Crosshair /Expectance based on aim and skill. [Visuals done-ish]
= CarSpeedometer with meaningful information in a graphical way: Cost of speedingticket, fuelcost/km, pollution/km, deadliness of crash [few hours to go]
= Bikespeedometer feeding map: whereto can I beat car when parking included [idea]
Agenda
Why I think people will be interested: Bottleneck of information throughput often not what can be put on screen, but that we need to get away from default screen more and certainly from keyboard/mouse/singleUserTouchscreen. More affordable multi-user touchscreens and VR/AR are changes, but many more ways possible.
Sessions can fill quite some time, though time will tell how many setups will actually be ready at Mozfest (and GraphicalWeb afterwards)
Why I think it will get enough of this ready: I have some ready, plenty preparation time scheduled and expect some help form community
I'll turn this into an on-line project to cooperate on (github/mediawiki/) this week Already had interest from fablab and dataviz folks

Participants
Per setup I'll prepare questions and micro-assignments (= user test) to draw feedback, invite cooperation, could be done parallel groupwise.
First I'll let everybody play for a bit, then questions + user testing which I'll lead. If too many for one group I'll split. I'll make sure the material allows for not having me as lead.
Outcome
I hope to have many inspired to try new ways of interacting with information and quite a few to cooperate on some of the mentioned (or newly thought-up_ projects). On-line examples and documentation are of course key to let the rest of the web enjoy and maybe build on.
