L3D researchers will demo these prototypes, focusing on their ergonomics, user interface, and overall user experience. The demos are informal, so practitioners and researchers can swap ideas. Which of these concepts will appear in products one day? Which concepts apply to our work today?
[1] Beyond the Desktop with the Envisionment and Discovery Collaboratory and
Google Earth:
interactive visualizations for participative, collaborative urban planning
and design.
[2] Cognitive Levers:
PDA-based cognitive aids for individuals with cognitive disabilities, coupled

Server and Google Earth.
[3] Craft Technology Group:
A variety of projects integrating new technology, such as 3D printers, laser
cutters and conductive thread, with hands-on educational crafts.
