INKE ID member visit Institute of Design in Chicago to experiment with touch surfaces

Under Stan Rucker supervision, Luciano Frizzera and Samia Pedraça visited the Institute of Design (IIT-ID) in Chicago for one week to assist in research projects. Luciano developed the first iteration on our  Tangible Workflows prototype experimenting with the recently acquired 55” multitouch display as shown in the picture. Samia produced a comprehensive use instructions for Citelens, a citation visualization tool in development by INKE team in Edmonton. She also assisted Gerry Derksen in a usability test of a search engine interface for Grainger Motors, which has more then 900.000 products in its catalog.
