Abstract
This talk will present highlights of my most recent work and will explain how an electronic engineer could possibly find a home within the fashion industry. I will talk about my experiences with telepresence, computer vision, 3D printing and cloth modeling and on my experiences using the Kinect, olfactory displays and ubiquitous computing. I will describe why designing for everyone rather than for someone is so important and why we need better tools to make electronics and programming accessible to non-specialists; I shall also share my thoughts on the importance of collaborative working practices for the creation of meaningful products and services.
Series This talk is part of the Microsoft Research Cambridge, public talks series.
