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. Tom has led the development of numerous successful products and projects in the wireless, LCD display, data storage, and fiber optic industries. → CHIFOO Member Admission: FREE.

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>

description nil → Inter-season edition. Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks! TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference. So bring your laptops and your work ethic to PDX TechCoffee. Or, if you can't be there in person, join us on IRC at #techcoffee on FreeNode. One commit a week is all we ask.

description As the use of video games becomes more pervasive--think Angry Birds to Farmville to Wii Fitness--it becomes useful to consider their wider impact on our lives.

Can games be valuable for mission-based groups like non-profits, NGOs and community organizations? How can game development connect students to real-world problems? We’ll kick off the evening with a panel discussion including speakers at the intersection of gaming and game development for education, non-profit enablement and youth outreach. Our panelists will explore how gaming and the creation of games can positively impact our local communities and wider world mission-based efforts. Following audience Q&A, everyone is welcome to continue the discussion over networking, food and soft drinks.

description Gaming for Social Good Hosted by PDXTech4Good and Pixel Arts As the use of video games becomes more pervasive--think Angry Birds to Farmville to Wii Fitness--it becomes useful to consider their wider impact on our lives. Are they merely useful for entertainment, or can games help create change through creativity, imagination and play? Can games be valuable for mission-based groups like non-profits, NGOs and community organizations? How can game development connect students to real-world problems? We’ll kick off the evening with a panel discussion including speakers at the intersection of gaming and game development for education, non-profit enablement and youth outreach. Our panelists will explore how gaming and the creation of games can positively impact our local communities and wider world mission-based efforts.
