Sometime last year I gave an interview for the ECHOES II project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“ECHOES II aims to develop an adventurous technology- <\/strong>enhanced learning environment<\/strong> in which both typically developing children and children with Aspergers Syndrome at Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7) can explore and improve social interaction and collaboration skills. The environment will also serve as a tool for researchers, teachers, parents, and practitioners to investigate problems that children may encounter in specific social contexts and the ways in which those problems may be addressed. <\/p>\n

The proposed technology-enhanced learning environment will combine existing technologies in new ways. With the active participation of user groups, we will combine interactive multitouch screens, gesture and gaze tracking, and intelligent agent-based context-sensitive interfaces to create a novel interactive multi-modal environment that can be adapted to the needs of specific individuals, and that can provide new ways of investigating and supporting the development of social skills in children.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, I didn’t get the position. However, I did get to play with creating an interactive interview using Flash in my stubborn attempt to never use Powerpoint (which I have failed<\/a> in). Anyway, somehow I believed it would fit in the whole idea of using all possible modes of communication. Rather than a simple projection of the data, you can explore the presentation by moving the mouse around. And since I was 6000 miles away on the phone communicating to the interviewers, it seemed like they could have some fun while conversing.<\/p>\n

After you’ve played with it, check out this<\/a>, and imagine how much sexier my next interview presentation will be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
