Current web - access content, consume content
Want to create applications on the web
Gesture-based rather than link based on mobile
Websites on tablets feel different, off

drawing, touch interaction, editing all through browser JS
IE is not an excuse
Force users to upgrade

U Can Touch This
@atxryan, Web/UX developer
Why does touch matter?
Proliferation of touch devices
What's your strategy for touch?
Ignore it
Legitimate strategy as long as it's deliberate
Retrofit it
Not recommended
So many things come into play that you want to design for touch first, get free affordances for mouse

“Absence"

Patti McLetchie

The project was designed to signify how breast cancer patients feel after they have gone through a mastectomy. The artist has a personal connection to this project as her best friend had breast cancer twice and went through a mastectomy. This project was to symbolize what she experiences on a daily basis. The idea was that as a society we focus on imperfections and tend to stare at what is uneven or what is not “beautiful” by society’s standards. The goal with the wearable media project was to be able to wear something that drew attention to one side like the unevenness of a post-mastectomy patient.

A cream lace bra was used to symbolize Caucasian skin. An “X” was designed out of 5 red leds on the left breast to symbolize where the cancer was and which breast had the mastectomy. The “X” was programed to fade on and off for a minute in a cycle. Women's breasts are often already the subject of gazing and critique. The fading red light was meant to bring additional attention
