HCI2009

The Talks.cam team were invited to demonstrate at the HCI2009 Open House evening earlier this month. This was an exciting opportunity to showcase Talks.cam and the work of EGRET alongside many examples of the latest human-computer interface technologies and research.

Photos of the event are up on Flickr.

Our blurb on the programme was written by Alan Blackwell, one of the original creators of Talks.cam:

Talks.cam is a user-generated content system for publicising and syndicating information about talks and seminars around Cambridge. Talks.cam makes it easy to find information about events in Cambridge, and for seminar organisers to publicise those events. Talks.cam also feeds customised "what's on" information directly into the webpages of many organisations in Cambridge. Talks.cam turns the university inside out, accumulating research across disciplines, publicising and archiving current research without requiring 'knowledge transfer' intermediaries such as publishers and research funding offices.
