description Why do gamers who usually demand the most cutting edge technology still accept the primitive buzzing technologies that do not recreate the real feel of the game? They must have not yet experienced what ViviTouch can add to their gaming experience. ViviTouch enables a gamer to experience thousands of sensations in a versatile language of feedback in the palm of the hand. This allows game developers to change the way that their games interact with the gamer. Tom will present the exciting consumer reactions from the recent introduction of this technology to gamers and game developers. A case study of the Mophie Pulse gaming case that turns the iPod Touch into a gaming platform with a rumble experience that surpasses console controllers will also be presented. Tom will introduce how game developers can enable gamers to truly experience ViviTouch for iOS, Android, and other platforms by using available design guides and SDKs. User experience designers can use this innovative technology to communicate useful information through the sense of touch, such as who is calling or messaging, or enabling a user to feel different parts of their screen, to even potentially enable sightless typing on a touch screen. ViviTouch can become a new tool for user experience designers to integrate to create truly innovative user interfaces. Tom joined AMI in September 2007 as Vice President of Engineering. Prior to AMI, Tom was the Engineering Program Manager for Skypilot Networks, a developer of low cost / high volume wireless infrastructure products. Prior to Skypilot, he held senior management positions in engineering and project management for several companies, including Intel, Raychem, Ericsson Fiber, WaveSplitter, and Siros Technologies.

description nil → Why do gamers who usually demand the most cutting edge technology still accept the primitive buzzing technologies that do not recreate the real feel of the game? They must have not yet experienced what ViviTouch can add to their gaming experience. ViviTouch enables a gamer to experience thousands of sensations in a versatile language of feedback in the palm of the hand. This allows game developers to change the way that their games interact with the gamer. Tom will present the exciting consumer reactions from the recent introduction of this technology to gamers and game developers. A case study of the Mophie Pulse gaming case that turns the iPod Touch into a gaming platform with a rumble experience that surpasses console controllers will also be presented. Tom will introduce how game developers can enable gamers to truly experience ViviTouch for iOS, Android, and other platforms by using available design guides and SDKs. User experience designers can use this innovative technology to communicate useful information through the sense of touch, such as who is calling or messaging, or enabling a user to feel different parts of their screen, to even potentially enable sightless typing on a touch screen. ViviTouch can become a new tool for user experience designers to integrate to create truly innovative user interfaces. Tom joined AMI in September 2007 as Vice President of Engineering. Prior to AMI, Tom was the Engineering Program Manager for Skypilot Networks, a developer of low cost / high volume wireless infrastructure products. Prior to Skypilot, he held senior management positions in engineering and project management for several companies, including Intel, Raychem, Ericsson Fiber, WaveSplitter, and Siros Technologies.

description nil → <p><a href="http://keminglabs.com/">Kevin Lynagh</a> will talk to us about data-driven web applications with ClojureScript:</p> <p><span>A web page or application is, at its core, just a visual representation of data that people can read, look at, and manipulate.</span> <span>Typically the mapping between the abstract data and elements on the screen is implicit in the code: take some piece of the data, do X here, do Y there; when the user clicks on that thing, modify the page here, and so on.</span></p> <p><span>Reasoning about such code is difficult: either control is inverted across many different callbacks with complected concerns, or one must endure a great deal of ceremony with models, controllers, view models, and views/templates to structure an application.</span> <span>Ideally when we build a web application all we should have to do is describe how our application's data should be represented on the DOM.</span> <span>We shouldn't need to worry about callbacks, twiddling the attributes of particular elements, or updating cached state.</span><br><br><span>As it turns out, ClojureScript's rich data structures and semantics allows us to easily write such simple, declarative code.</span> <span>I will discuss these ideas using examples from visualization-rich dashboard applications.</span><br><br><span>Recommended reading:</span><br><br><span>C2:</span> <a href="http://keminglabs.com/c2/" target="_blank">http://keminglabs.com/c2/</a><br><span>Knockout.js:</span> <a href="http://knockoutjs.com/" target="_blank">http://knockoutjs.com/</a><br><span>Rich Hickey's talk on the benefits of immutability:</span> <a href="http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey" target="_blank">http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey</a></p>
