xtopia video online

xtopia

Happy new year everyone!

The video from my (ger­man) xtopia talk is online. You need either the sil­verlight browser plu­gin to play it back, or you can down­load a high res ver­sion directly (144MB). And here are the slides.

Update: Here it is on vimeo as well. More web-friendly.

I speak about my work for the MACE project, and other ongo­ing work as well as some of the US elec­tion visu­al­iza­tions. The talk was fun and also received quite well; in the audi­ence eval­u­a­tion, I scored 7.88 (out of 9) for pre­sen­ta­tion style, 8.33 for com­pe­tence, 7.85 for con­tent of the pre­sen­ta­tion and 6.82 for busi­ness relevance.

In other news, things are a bit cum­ber­some at the moment, because I broke my leg and this will take a while to heal… But, it gives me the time to work on my port­fo­lio page, which should be online soon.
