ahh massive was pretty nice....
I myself was amazed by the rapid prototyping machines....
Imagine being able to PRINT fully functioning mechanical parts, assembled and working!!!
Somebody please lend me 30,000 bucks to buy one!

I was there... sat in on a few courses and papers.. some very clever people there (although they could sometimes use a designer and some presentation skills). loving the multi-touch, multi-user, multi-sided (top and bottom of the glass) interactive displays.
also thought the exhibition part was smaller than before... maybe its bigger when in LA?
'Fast Forward' preview of the whole weeks Papers sessions in 2 hours was cool...

hey anyafx - fascinated by the new rapid prototypers and wasn't able to make it there myself - can you tell us a bit more about them - links?
thanks
On another note - can't wait for someone to finally commercialse all this amazing multitoch tech into something 3D artists can properly use for work!

this is what I want to do next... designing next-generation user interfaces for designers, looking at new metaphors, new input and display technologies... I'm looking at the specific needs of car designers, but a lot of it would be applicable to industrial design and more. Just have to work out where/with who I'm going to do it...
