[IxDA Discuss] A Semi-Theoretical Question

[Sean Voisen]

> Marc, that was excellent!!!!


I agree. Very thought-provoking.

I'm personally very interested in the interaction design of real-time,
face-to-face social gatherings like workshops, seminars, conferences and
un-conferences, and the design of supportive technologies/interfaces that
can improve these gatherings as far as collaboration, communication and,
most especially, learning ... both high tech and low tech technologies.
Everything from giant, digital "whiteboards" and wifi accessible social
networking sites that facilitate physical meet-ups to the arrangement of a
room and the format of a discussion.

I spent two "experimental" years as a management consultant designing such
meetings and workshops to achieve specific business objectives, so I think
about this a lot. If anyone knows of any good books or resources on this
kind of interaction design, do let me know ;-)
