Wii + WPF = Multipoint UX

Galen Murdock — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:49:30 +0000

We’re at MIX08 in Las Vegas this week, and presenting in a few sessions. If you’re here, come check out Matthias Shapiro and Galen Murdock’s Wii + WPF = Multipoint demo in Marcello 4403 on the 4th floor. We’re in Open Space #3 from 11:30am-1:00pm.

Apparently our posting on the bulletin board has garnered quite a bit of attention. Come join the fun, play with the app, and see how we built it!

Check out the background of the project at Matthias’ blog at www.designerwpf.com.

Heading to MIX 08

I just signed up for MIX 08, Microsoft’s annual Vegas conference for web developers an designers. They’ve extended the early bird deadline to January 31st, so head over there and sign up now!

As a general rule, I’m more inclined toward the hard client at the moment, but that has been in a large part because:

I’m getting paid to do WPF stuff.
I’m not a coding guru which makes alot of the more intense web development stuff somewhat outside my reach.
Its easier to do fun and cool stuff with WPF than with Silverlight. Or Flash. Or Javascript.
I’m getting paid to do WPF stuff.

Even so, it should be a fun time. Especially if the MIX promotional material (seen below) is to be believed.

I am under the impression that the women in the rightmost image are the kind of cutting edge web developers I will be schmoozing with at MIX08.

Please, leave me to my ignorance.
