Large Displays in Urban Life - CHI 2011 workshop

The CHI workshop I tended has published it's conclusions. This is me  holding up the notes I made during the sub-meeting.

Just in case your interested in my handwriting.

Osculator

So Intereasting find over the weekend was a program that can read wimote ( wii remotes) and claims to read a wii fit plus board ( not sure ) and converts into OSC signals. 

Gives rise to insperation to a surfboard game running round the city (possibly looking for signs).

Genius

Just watching Horizon on the BBC. Its a program about genius and it makes me wonder if there is anything you could do with software to make everyone a genius. Perhaps I sound a bit too much like the bad guy from the Incredibles but its a nice idea.
One theory for creative genious was that people's minds spend most of the time 'filtering out irrelevant stimuli' Genii apparently allow the stimuli in but and use it creatively but remain focused on the objective in hand.

How about a word processor that adds in random bits of text while your typing. Perhaps adding in lost of descriptive terms while you type.
