In early November 2005, a forty minute educational workshop experience for 300 pupils age 10-11 was given for the Liverpool FOCUS EAZ (Education Action Zone) for schools in the Fazakerley and Walton areas. The technology introduced was addressed at various times as "Augmented Reality," "Camera Vision," "Gestural Interface," and "Illuminating Lamp." Pupils were invited to step into a silhouette-driven environment and interact with six demonstration programs in a game play mode.

The HCI-FUN project completes development on its latest project Icon==Function. HCI-FUN have worked with artist Josh Nimoy to create a series of experiments which test the corralation between icons and the functions they perform.

Inspired by his background as a graphic designer, Josh's proposal investigates how fast we can understand what different geometrical shapes on a screen stand for; how they react to our input and trigger certain effects.
Icon == Function tested at FACT's Medialab. Come and test the software, help us explore the usability factors.
Here are some photos of the event.
