Bad News Email from Corian_Germany

2008-06-26T13:45:00.000-07:00

To: Adhocberlin@gmail.com

Dear Garth,

sorry for my late response, but in the moment we are struggling with our activities in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

That´s the reason why I actually don´t find the time to give a lecture of Corian and Tyvek Graphics in June or July.
I am really sorry about that. But can we support you in other ways?

best regards
Bina*

LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs; this is especially interesting in times of increased environmental conciousness.

the reactable is a tangible music instrument. There is a trend for design of new musical interfaces, such as tangible music instruments and musical applications for mobile devices, also for multi touch surfaces. I guess it ultimately derives from the attempt to close the gap between human and computer interaction, finding ways to interact in more intuitive ways.
