Keynote Speakers

David Merrill

David Merrill is a graduate student at MIT’s Media Lab and one of the creators of the Siftables project. Siftables are cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication that users physically manipulate to interact with digital information and media.  Siftables provides a new platform on which to implement tangible, visual and mobile applications.  In addition to the Siftable project, Merrill is looking at ways to access digital information when away from a traditional computer, and has an interest in new musical interfaces.  

A video of David Merrill demonstrating Siftables is available here.
