It's that time again. That time to get your geek on and come mess
around with technology and human behavior. Got any ideas for new room-
based installations, new service ideas that have a multi-touch
component, bring them with. RFID will be a great addition to the table
for new interactions like adding contacts.

Bring your: RFID tags/readerz, Wii-mote, multi-touch, "Minority
Report" interfaces, empty skullz, and join your fellow reactable
heads, hardware hackers, software developers, nerds, video researchers
or the mildly curious passers-by

I'll bring my Wii. And i'll bring an Arduino beginners kit (http://tinker.it/ukstore/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=51
) which i will donate to the first person to come up with, and
intending to build him or herself, a cool project using the Arduino
board and the Roomware server.

See you all there!

I'm not hooked up to a roomware server yet, but I could bring some
wiiFlash, phidgets, papervision stuff to demonstrate?
Would that be interesting/possible?

Hi Jeff,
that sounds great,
Both interesting and possible.
Bring all that you mention and
come join the party!

Question to all: Is anyone bringing a reactable?
I know Peter had a basic set up but not a table fully built yet.
Please extend an invitation to anyone in area who has one to bring
it along.

Luckily the guys from CanTouch already done the work and have a
Multi-touch table standing there to play with.

Optional we CAN setup the simple versions based on backlight and TouchLib.
Hopefully the "do it yourself" kits are ready from CanTouch as well.

Anyway: bring a camera with you. It will be fun.

don't forget to use the "blast a note to everyone" function on
upcoming as well, you don't get notified of changes automatically when
the event you subscribe to changes.
