cyborg anthropology

I missed Amber Case’ presentation at Interaction 12 on Solid to Liquid to Air: Interaction Design and the Future of the Interface. But here it is, the webcast_

"Amber Case is a cyborg anthropologist and user experience designer who focuses on mobile software, augmented reality and data visualization, and reducing the amount of time and space it takes for people to connect. Case has been featured in Forbes, WIRED and Time, and also founded Geoloqi.com, a private location sharing application, out of a frustration with existing social protocols around text messaging and wayfinding.

Case has spoken at conferences all around the world including TED and was featured in Fast Company 2010 as one of the Most Influential Women in Technology."
