Back in June, we had a little gathering here in Redmond with some bloggers to chat about what's going on at Microsoft Surface. One of the awesome demos we showcased was something LiveLabs cooked up called Shadow Box. (See the SlashGear video here at 2:47.) It essentially takes raw images from the imaging system on Surface and uses it to create a paint program of sorts. It's a lot of fun. Nic over at Channel 10 caught up with the guys behind Shadow Box for an excellent behind-the-scenes interview. Video below.

I just received this email from Dennis Wixon down at UX Week.

So after a somewhat harrowing evening, the “Challenge Behind Emotional Innovation” at UX Week was a success! I have some video of my presentation that I’ll be posting shortly (Thanks Chris), but for now here are some great photos from the day. As always, the crowd couldn’t get enough of Surface.

 

I’ll fill you in more on the day’s events and presentations that I found intriguing when I return. Until then….

Kyle was a busy man on Wednesday, doing TV press interviews at the Sheraton Seattle. I shared the camera with him for a little while and we chatted about what you can see on Microsoft Surface at the Sheraton. Kyle shared his adoration for Mandy Moore. ;)
