Long associated with gaming\ , these sensors are making their way into our everyday ‘utility’ devices . For example\, think about the average smart phone: it likely contains a proximity sensor\, an accelerometer/orientation sensor\, an ambient li ght sensor\, a gyroscopic sensor\, and a moisture sensor. Cameras can re cognize head motion and facial gestures\; they can track body movements and compare them to motion models. \;\n \;\nAs these sensors beco me part of everyday interactive devices\, we are ushering in new forms o f gestural interaction\, which is changing how we interact with digital experiences and data\, and changing the nature of our computer-mediated communications. In this talk\, Elizabeth will offer some observations an d speculations on how the world of physical computing\, broadly construe d\, is changing the way in which we interact with our devices\, each oth er\, and interactive digital experiences. \;\n \;\nAbout the Spea ker \;\n \;\nDr. Elizabeth Churchill is a Principal Research Scie ntist and manager of the Internet Experiences group at Yahoo! Research. Originally a psychologist by training\, Elizabeth has focused throughout her career on understanding the ways in which people interact—whether t heir interactions are primarily face-to-face or are technologically medi ated. She has published within the areas of theoretical and applied psyc hology\, cognitive science\, human-computer interaction\, and computer-s upported cooperative work. Elizabeth has a BSc in Experimental Psycholog y and a MSc in Knowledge Based Systems\, both from the University of Sus sex\, and a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Cambridge.

She is the current Vice P resident of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Inter est Group on Computer Human Interaction (SigCHI). \;\n\n\nTags: ux\, tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250461889 URL:http://www.chifoo.org SUMMARY:CHIFOO Presents: Missing the Point: The Expanding World of Gestur al Interaction $5 LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120220T155245Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120314T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120314T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120220T155245Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120220T155245Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462033 DESCRIPTION:SecViz.org is a great resource for security visualizations\, but most suffer from a lack of interactivity. Completing kinectasploit f or DEFCON19 made me realize the utility of game engines for interacting with security tools and security information. Jeff will start with a rec ap/encore performance of kinectasploit (http://p0wnlabs.com/defcon19)\, which uses gestures to drive a first-person shooter 3D game environment to break into computers on victim virtual machines. Then using the same technology\, Jeff will walk through a couple scenes using standard corpo rate security data in a 3D\, kinect-driven environment made possible by the blender game engine. \;\n \;\nKinect and gestures are two of t he most prevalent game-changing technologies to affect user interfaces s ince the keyboard and mouse. Applying these tools to real-world data is challenging\, fraught with pitfalls\, and a heck of a lot of fun!

Smart mete rs themselves are not\, however\, customer-friendly portals\, nor do the y give utilities the option of communicating with their customers direct ly. This is where in-home displays (IHD)\, or the more comprehensive hom e energy monitoring and management systems (HEMS) come into play. Monito ring devices for the home\, such as the Kill-a-Watt\, have been around f or more than a decade\, but the first technologies on the market can be considered analog\, at best. In the past several years\, more mature HEM S have evolved which can give customers detailed information about every energy-using device in their home. \;\n \;\nThe most sophistica ted HEMS\, such as Tendril’s Connect platform\, allow homeowners to cont rol their lighting\, appliances\, and even electric vehicles remotely\, truly transforming a home into a smart home. But\, these systems are onl y just emerging on the market\, and there is no road map for how utiliti es use them to communicate with customers. In this talk\, Emily will dis cuss the evolution of these devices and what the latest technologies on the market are capable of\, as well as how HEMS play a pivotal role in t he evolution of the smart home. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \; \n \;\nEmily Kemper is an Associate Member of the American Institute of Architects\, and is the only public member of the Oregon Governor’s B oard for Residential and Manufactured Structures. In her capacity at PEC I\, she is working to leverage emerging technology into existing and new residential energy efficiency program models\, while advancing industry and public knowledge of energy efficiency in homes and buildings. Emily hails from Cincinnati\, Ohio\, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Architect ure and a Master’s degree in Building Science. Her current research incl udes home energy monitoring systems\, saving energy through behavior cha nge\, and smart homes. Her hobbies include photography\, blogging\, and following Nissan LEAFs around Portland on her bike. \;\n\n\nTags: ux\ , tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250462152 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/home_energy_moni toring_and_management_systems_hems/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO - Home Energy Monitoring and Management Systems (HEMS) LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120417T013444Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120417T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120417T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120417T013444Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120417T013444Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462278 DESCRIPTION:Join us for a sketching workshop with guest presenters Cecili a Case and George Reiswig. \;\n \;\nA major part of the interactio n designer’s job is in the ideation and creation portion of the design p rocess. Sandwiched somewhere between user research and high-fidelity pr ototypes\, sketching is a powerful\, portable\, fast and creative tool t o bring to bear for capturing ideas\, working through possibilities and communicating to stakeholders. Whether or not you are comfortable with s ketching\, we hope to encourage active participation while we discuss th e creative process\, sketching techniques\, and an important part of ske tching\, critique. You will also work on exercises and examples to help you expand your sketching and drawing repertoire. Bring your favorite sketching media! \;\n \;\nEveryone is welcome -- designers and non -designers alike. \;\n \;\nThis is a casual\, non-sponsored worksh op.

She has done some running over the last year\, but this will be her first marathon. She do esn’t have a training partner\, but a voice in her ear expertly nudges h er on\, while her mobile device records her pace\, her route\, and saves it to a training log in the cloud. A friend comments later on Facebook about her commitment\, noting that he has trouble running so early in th e morning. \;\n \;\nTryouts for the high school soccer team are i n three months\, but Steve is starting his training now. A device in the midsole of his shoe and in the soccer ball he uses measures direction a nd acceleration\, and compares his data to his peers and to the pros. An app on his mobile device records his statistics\, shows him where he is strong and where he is weak\, and gives him a training program to eleva te his game. \;\n \;\nAnalytics\, the marriage of computer scienc e and statistics\, allows us to derive meaning from large sets of data. Historically it has been the domain of business strategy and marketing\, used to zero in on patterns which enable strategists to forecast future market behavior and improve outcomes. New mobile technology allows user s to collect their own data\, connects them to the best science\, and do es so in a way that is personal\, social\, and highly targeted. The Nike + Sensor records running performance\, the Adidas miCoach Speed Cell mea sures multi-directional motion for sports training\, the Withings scale and blood pressure monitor helps people monitor their health\, and UP by Jawbone measures activity level\, sleep cycles\, and eating patterns. & #13\;\n \;\nHow has user-centered design shaped the direction of thes e new technologies? In this presentation\, Jeanne will explore the ways that people have integrated these devices into their lives and discuss w hether the technology has followed through on the promise to improve hea lth\, performance\, and lifestyle. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \ ;\n \;\nJeanne Turner is a passionate and versatile interaction desig ner who is dedicated to creating delightful experiences through greater understanding of user needs\, goals\, and motivations. After earning a BA in Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction\, she’ s spent the past 7 years using her skills to build both mobile applicati ons and web environments for clients including Ecotrust\, Vanderbilt Owe n School of Management\, Tektronix\, Harvard Business School\, Starbucks \, and Amazon. Jeanne is also an invaluable part of the Portland intera ction design community\, serving as the leader and co-leader of the loca l chapter of IxDA since May of 2008. \;\n \n\nTags: mobile\, ux\, tec h\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250462282 URL:http://www.chifoo.org SUMMARY:CHIFOO presents Mobile as Analytics for Life $5 LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120420T195513Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120508T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120508T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120420T195513Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120420T195513Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462302 DESCRIPTION:**Photoshop &\; Illustrator Users.** Join fellow users for a presentation\, discussion\, networking and giveaway! \;\n \;\nW e focus on a level beyond absolute beginner (experience with either or b oth programs). \;\n \;\n**No charge to attend.

They must have not yet experienced what ViviTouch c an add to their gaming experience. ViviTouch enables a gamer to experien ce thousands of sensations in a versatile language of feedback in the pa lm of the hand. This allows game developers to change the way that their games interact with the gamer. \;\n \;\nTom will present the exc iting 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 expe rience that surpasses console controllers will also be presented. Tom wi ll introduce how game developers can enable gamers to truly experience V iviTouch for iOS\, Android\, and other platforms by using available desi gn guides and SDKs. \;\n \;\nUser experience designers can use th is innovative technology to communicate useful information through the s ense of touch\, such as who is calling or messaging\, or enabling a user to feel different parts of their screen\, to even potentially enable si ghtless typing on a touch screen. ViviTouch can become a new tool for us er experience designers to integrate to create truly innovative user int erfaces. \;\n \;\nTom joined AMI in September 2007 as Vice Preside nt of Engineering. Prior to AMI\, Tom was the Engineering Program Manage r 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 Te chnologies.

It's now possible\, with a technology called additive manufacturing\, or 3D Printing! There are many applicat ions for 3D printing including ideation/prototyping\, creating finished goods (jewelry)\, and customizing traditional manufacturing processes. T his technology has recently become cheap and easy enough to use at home. It's poised to disrupt the way we design\, build\, make\, and distribut e products. The big players in 3D printing are in Europe and the East Co ast\, but Portland has a burgeoning community of users and enthusiasts p ushing the boundaries of what can be done with 3D printing. \;\n \ ;\nPortland 3D Printing Lab is a group for anyone interested in learning about 3D printing and related topics such as 3D modeling\, prototyping\ , and creating this technology. We meet third week of every month to di scuss the industry\, our projects\, and ways we can collaborate. Join us - we look forward to seeing you there!\n\nTags: 3D Printing\, 3D Printe rs\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250465421 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Portland-3D-Printing-Lab SUMMARY:Portland 3D Printing Lab LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T152314Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140130T204500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140130T181500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T152314Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T152351Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465420 DESCRIPTION:Greetings! 2014 is going to be great.
