FITC Day 3 - Afternoon: Ralph Hauwert (take 2), Theo Watson and Emily Gobeille, Brendan Dawes and Yugo Nakamura

By RJ Owen
August 20, 2010

The final afternoon of FITC was packed full of inspirational speakers. I started the afternoon with an encore session by Ralph Hauwert, followed by what was probably the most inspirational session of all by Theo Watson and Emily Gobeille on their work in augmented reality through Interactive Installations. After that I learned about the future of digital interation design with Brendan Dawes and brought the conference to a close with renown creator Yugo Nakamura. Looking back on the past three days, I really can't say enough good things about FITC SF. This was one of the best conferences I've ever been to. I think adding the inspirational design element and the amazing host of speakers at this conference was a huge part of what made the experience so great. Each and every speaker I saw was both amazingly knowledgable, talented, humble and personable. The sessions were informative and fun. I'll definitely be back.

By RJ Owen
July 31, 2010

I'm heading out to FITC in San Francisco in a few weeks and am starting to get excited. I've never been to an FITC event, though I've certainly heard tell of it around secluded campfires and in the back rooms of dimly-lit bars. And in the open, and on the internet, and from a lot of people on twitter who agree that this conference is going to be great.
