Does Me-Too Stuff Bore You?

As 2011 kicks off, I think we are in for a ton of innovative software and Internet stuff this year.  Yeah, some of it will be "just like everything else but different."  However, of the areas we invest heavily in - human computer interaction - has an incredible amount of activity going on.  I'll be at CES in Las Vegas this week so I expect to have a dose of nerd-eye-candy (e.g. the latest TV sets) along with a bunch of cool / amazing / clever / intriguing new HCI things.

I expect CES will be a classic case of "a mile wide and an inch deep."  If you want to go really deep with HCI, consider joining me at the Blur Conference in Orlando on 2/22 and 2/23 especially if any of the following topics appeal to you.
markerless motion capture
phone controlled robotic gaming devices
augmented reality apps
alternative input mechanisms
neuro-physiological measurements
all kinds of Kinect hacks
3D/digital sculptures
neuro-ergonomics
social robotics
multi-touch interfaces
speech recognition
human instrumentation
natural user interfaces

I've accepted the reality that the computers are going to take over during my lifetime.  I just want to help be involved in writing some of the code to hedge my bets.  Register now to come join me in my quest.
