This Saturday (April 4, 2009), Dennis Wixon and yours truly (along with three researchers from Finland--Giulio Jacucci and Ann Morrison--and Canada--Scott MacKenzie) will be co-hosting a workshop at the annual SIG-CHI conference in Boston. The conference brings together a few thousand international academic researchers, practitioners, and students, and features some of the latest thinking and application around human-computer interaction.

The workshop that we are hosting, named Multitouch and Surface Computing, brings in both seasoned and fledgling researchers representing both the private and public sector from several countries. Browse through the attached program and you will discover that some of the brightest, including three of our own—Celine Aston-Smith, Jennifer McCormick, and Daniel Wigdor—will be present.

Through this site, Dennis and I will try our best to share some of the cutting-edge human-computer interaction science, theories, debates, etc. around multitouch. Stay tuned!!!
