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. Tom has led the development of numerous successful products and projects in the wireless\, LCD display\, data storage\, and fiber op tic industries. \;\n \n\nTags: game\, ux\, tech\, gaming\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250462448 URL:http://www.chifoo.org SUMMARY:CHIFOO Presents: Beyond the Buzz…Feel the Game with ViviTouch™ LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120522T221430Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120621T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120621T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120522T221430Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120522T221430Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462395 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.

With r epresentation from all over the world\, it takes more than just code to represent the authenticity of a character within a game. It also means t hat the people creating it are well represented in order to provide as a ccurate a representation of the cultures and behaviors enacted within a game. \;\n \;\nJoin PDXWIT for this panel discussion to learn more about how game acculturation is changing the gaming industry and what i t takes to create characters and stories that you and I can relate to in a virtual environment. \;\n \;\nFacilitated by Crystal Sincoff an d Hazel Valdez\, you will hear from Kate Edwards\, Executive Director of Global Game Jam\, as well as game developers including Lauren Lizardo a nd Zach Deocadiz as they discuss what’s happening in the gaming industry today. \;\n \;\n \;\nYou will also hear from our host and find out if they have open positions. \;\n \;\nAgenda: \;\n12:00 p. m. - Event opens/networking \;\n12:05 p.m. - Introductions \;\n12: 10 p.m. - Panel discussion begins \;\n12:50 p.m. - Q&\;A \;\n1: 00 p.m. - Event ends \;\n \;\nPurpose: \;\nPDXWIT is building a better tech industry by creating access\, dismantling inequities and fu eling belonging.
