Jamie Zigelbaum is a Ph.D. student in Prof. Hiroshi Ishii?s Tangible Media Group at the MIT Media Lab. This talk is a version of a lecture that he?s given with Dr. Jean-Baptiste Labrune in Ishii?s Tangible Interfaces class and with Labrune and Seth Hunter in Prof. Pattie Maes? and Ishii?s New Paradigms for Human-Computer Interaction class. Jamie is in LA for the summer working downtown at Oblong Industries.
