IxD and Assistive Technology
My major project for 2010, All Is Domain, has finally seen the light of day and spent the past week on exhibition at COFA graduate exhibition, The Annual. Like many of the interactive installation works at The Annual, I had my fair share of problems …
This will be the last uni-related post of the year (for my undergraduate degree anyway), but not the last update for this project. The interactive table will be exhibited as part of the COFA exhibition, The Annual, at CarriageWorks next month and needs a few …
