<p>Come to Hand Eye Supply's FORTNIGHTLY FORUM FOR THE FEARLESSLY CURIOUS!</p>
<p>This upcoming talk will feature Amber Case presenting on Calm Technology.</p>
<p>Description: We cannot interact with our everyday life in the same way we interact with a desktop computer. Technology shouldn’t require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary. How can our devices take advantage of location, proximity and haptics to help improve our lives instead of get in the way? This presentation covers the history of calm technology, wearable computing, and how designers can make apps “ambient” while respecting privacy and security. We’ll look at ambient notifications, compressing information into other senses, and designing for the least amount of cognitive overhead.</p>

<p>Hand-Eye Supply is a work-focused supply store for creative minds located in Portland, OR. We engage with our community through our Curiosity Club speaker series and other various projects.</p>
