Philips Simplicity Event
October 6th, 2006
Very cool! Phillips has a pure design event. Philips Simplicity Event
Two Interactive examples from business week slideshows:
Drag & Draw
Heres one to keep the kids occupied. Drag & Draw turns the entire home into a virtual canvas for children. The digital light painting kit enables the user to paint via laser beams. Simply wave the wand over the laser projection bucket, then use it to draw on any wall or surface. Draw a bus on a road, for instance, and then with another flick of the wand that image is suddenly surrounded by a colorful backdrop.
Look at more advanced stuff like:
uWand
uWand lets consumers read and manage all digital content from music and photos to films and games with a simple wand instead of a remote. Move the wand over the image on your screen and you can scroll, select, play, and move elements. Philips hopes that the uWand will stimulate product designers to rethink user interfaces to make them simpler and more user-centered. Philips is in discussions with the electronics industry to introduce the uWand to the consumer market.

Hi Carol,
I actually do not know if you can purchase the systems.
I think you will have to contact ANDREA RAGNETTI, Chief Marketing Officer of Royal Philips Elec (there is a photo of him http://www.presslink.nl/philipssimplicity/)
Possibly by calling Phillips directly.
Kind regards
Kristian

Hi I’m really interested in your Philips Drag and Draw technology. I am right now doing a Power Point presentation about this for school and I would like to find out more information about it. If you have anymore information about this Philips Drag and Draw would greatly be appreciated.

Sorry I only have the information above, you will have to contact Phillips directly.
I would also suggest searching the ACM digital library http://www.acm.org
I would imagine that they published on this :-)
