Tangible User Interfaces are greatBecause they are meaningful and fun

!is one is from ATMEL

Microcontrollers!e magic sauce

Arduino UNOMicrocontroller boardsmake them accessible for us

SparkFun / Honeywell Acceleration Sensor

Breakout boardsmake even the most advanced technology accessible

Breadboards, the non-engineers delight...wonderful and tragic

Of course there are professional toolsbut they are made for engineers and their process

Plan Execute


Reactions

Fritzing to the rescureOur original vision: “From prototype to product”

Started as funded research project at FHP in 2007Awesome team! (excerpt shown here)

Community-driven visionFritzing Summits in 2007 & 2008

Vision fulfilled in 2009 and funding, too :(
