The Human Media Lab is Canada's premier media laboratory. Its mandate is to develop disruptive technologies and new ways of working with computers that are viable 10 to 20 years from now. We are currently working on the design of Organic User Interfaces (Oui!), an exciting new paradigm that allows computers to have any shape or form.
The special issue of Communications of the ACM on Organic User Interface, guest edited by Roel Vertegaal and Ivan Poupyrev of SONY CSL is now available at www.organicui.org
HML is organizing a workshop in collaboration with MIT, SONY and others for CHI 2009 on the concept of Organic UI and Transitive Materials.
