Luna Maurer: Your Line or Mine
Your Line or Mine is an ever-growing animation film drawn by visitors of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Anyone can add to the animation while visiting the museum. An interactive table at the Blikopener Spot, offers sheets of paper with instructions, that allows visitors to draw and scan their frames of animation. These are immediately added to the animation projected in the space. The (intermediary) result can be found on the website and will be finished on the 10th of August 2014.

Marie de Vos: dynamic boarding information above train platforms.
Over the last two years Edenspiekerman, STBY ProRail and NS Reizigers worked together on a Dynamic boarding information above train platforms that has been implemented in a pilot for three months at Den Bosch railway station. A 180m long display helps passengers decide where to wait and board their next train based on where it will stop, the location of the doors to the required carriages (2nd class, 1st class wheelchair access or bike storage) and available seats.

Christian Eckert & Andreas Wegner: designing an automotive interface
Designing automotive interfaces is a highly specialised interaction design discipline. Navigating the many safety and technological constrains while getting from idea to an intuitive, brand specific interface that many people use every day for years to come takes in depth knowledge and experience.
That’s why we are very happy to have Christian Eckert and Andres Wegner of Icon Incar as our speakers. Christian and Andreas will talk about what it takes to develop a next-generation (auto)mobile interface.With over 10 years of experience in the automotive industry, both at BMW Group and Icon incar, Christian has worked on the interactive experience of concept cars well as production model cars. As Head of Design at iconmobile Andreas works on cutting edge user experience projects for international clients across different industries, such as telecommunication, automotive and household appliances.
