ICHIM07 Papers are now on-line http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/speakers/index.html The first group of papers to be presented at the International Cultural Heritage Informatics Meeting are now on-line. See the full list at http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/speakers/index.html But conferences aren't about people reading papers. They are about seeing first hand the diversity of work being done, having conversations and asking questions. So plan to join us in Toronto for some stimulating discussions and debates. -------------------------------------------------------------- Closing Plenary: Ranjiit Makkuni on the Eternal Gandhi http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/abstracts/prg_335001589.html Ranjit Makkuni, of the Sacred World Foundation, India, will speak about the making of the Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum. He will present a language of physical interface actions derived from classical symbols of the spinning wheel, turning of the prayer wheels, touching symbolic pillars, the act of hands touching sacred objects, collaboratively constructed quilts, sacred chanting in the collective group, the satsanga and the touching and rotating of prayer beads. These tradition-based interactions inspire a rich panorama of tactile interfaces that allow people to access the multimedia imagery and multidimensional mind of Gandhiji. Eternal Ghandi was a winner of ID Magazine Design Award in 2006. -------------------------------------------------------------- Register in Advance https://www2.archimuse.com/ichim07/ichim07.registrationForm.html Space is still available, but because registration at ICHIM07 is limited, please register in advance.
