In an immedia te way\, they can help us define new systems of relationships with dig ital information. Luke Williams\, Creative Director at frog design\, e xamines how perceptions and gestures formed through our experiences wi th physical products can effectively bring liberty to the relationship between brain\, body\, and digital media interface.\n\nLuke will cove r:\n\n- how patterns and archetypes from product design now frame new ways for people to orientate themselves around information\;\n\n- the principle of stimulating one sense through another to create multi-sen sory interactions\; and\n\n- new developments at the collision point b etween "real world" objects and digital interfaces - the touch screen. \n\nSPEAKER\nLuke Williams\, Creative Director at frog design\n\nWHEN\ nThursday\, July 24th\n6:15 - 7:00 networking (refreshments served)\n7 :00 - 8:00 presentation\n8:00 - 8:30 Q&A and discussion\n\nWHERE\nLoca tion details provided on RSVP\n\n------------------------------------- -----------\nRSVP to: nyc-rsvp (at) ixda (dot) org\n------------------ ------------------------------\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nLuke Williams is Creative Director for frog design\, and heads the Industrial Design pr actice for the New York and Austin studios.
