In the last decade or so\, we've put touchscreens on nearly everything\, digitizing interactions and rele gating them to two-dimensional screen space and the purview of interacti on and graphic designers. \;\n \;\nWe are about to undergo another paradigm change in computing and will need to shift expectations around design\, materiality and experience. Breaking away from screen-based in teractions is not going to be easy\, but it will be an opportunity for d esigners of different disciplines to collaborate in a new and immersive space. \;\n \;\nAs a young girl\, Alysha Naples wanted to be an as tronaut\, a dinosaur or a Solid Gold dancer.
