Beyond the Desktop: Networking the Everyday
(January 30th - 4pm onwards)
Tangible user interfaces (TUI) are used to interact with digital information through the physical environment.
This one-evening exhibition will showcase a number of projects designed on the 4-week Tangible User Interface course as part of the Interaction Design Pilot Year.
The brief was to design pairs or a series of networked objects that illustrate digital information in a physical form. These physical objects not only reflect and display digital data - but enable people to interact directly with data through an appropriate use of technology. The students will demonstrate well‐crafted prototypes that consider physical interactions, affordances, attributes and metaphors for specific user groups.

At Harvard, Yasmine focused on how neo-nomads, digitally geared people on the move, reclaim a sense of belonging to places in the age of multiple mobilities and digital technologies.
Pan Urban Intelligence gathers international and multidisciplinary teams of specialists to engage and advance the urban environment. Through a tailored process including people-centric analysis and the deep understanding of imminent urban challenges, Pan Urban Intelligence assists companies, governments and other agencies involved with cities to responsibly innovate and prosper.
Yasmine Abbas is a French DPLG architect, holds a Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMArchS 2001) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Doctor of Design (DDes 2006) from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She is the founder of Pan Urban Intelligence.
