- [No to NoUI](https://www.elasticspace.com/2013/03/no-to-no-ui/) (2013): A critique of 'invisible design' and the NoUI movement: invisibility propagates the myth of immateriality, ignores interface culture and takes agency away from users and designers.
- [Connecting the digital world with print](https://www.elasticspace.com/2011/06/connecting-the-digital-world-with-print/) (2011): A rare piece by Durrell Bishop on a generic tool for linking the digital and physical, passive objects as physical buttons to digital things.
- [A phone to save us from our screens?](https://www.elasticspace.com/2010/10/a-phone-to-save-us-from-our-screens/) (2010): Microsoft's 2010 Windows Phone 7 launch ads take an anti-screen position. Without tangible interaction, can tiles pull attention out of glass?
- [CCD and computational photography](https://www.elasticspace.com/2010/03/ccd-and-computational-photography/) (2010): Three clippings from 2010 on CCDs eclipsing RFID, computational photography altering scenes in post, and cameras becoming part of the fabric of life.
- [Augmentia](https://www.elasticspace.com/2010/02/augmentia/) (2010): Clippings from Anselm Hook's piece "Augmentia" on the emerging issues around augmented reality, the ownership of the view, and the lens of reality.
- [Pour votre sécurité](https://www.elasticspace.com/2010/01/pour-votre-securite/) (2010): A single photograph of ‘Pour votre sécurité’ signage, posted in January 2010.
- [Touch](https://www.elasticspace.com/2006/09/touch/) (2006): A research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design on what designers should do with NFC, funded by the Research Council of Norway, running since March 2006.
- [Augmented reality experiments](https://www.elasticspace.com/2006/08/augmented-reality-experiments/) (2006): An afternoon with Even Westvang and ARtoolkit, drafting augmented reality markers by hand and confusing the tracker by drawing them in perspective.
- [The address book desk](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/12/address-book-desk/) (2005): An early Touch-project experiment: a grid of RFID tags under a desk with post-it notes on top, using the phone to call or SMS by touch.
- [Nokia 3220 with NFC](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/12/nokia-3220-nfc/) (2005): First impressions of the prototype Nokia 3220 NFC shell in late 2005: reading and writing RFID tags, interaction details and suggested improvements.
- [Graphic language for touch](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/11/graphic-language-for-touch/) (2005): Graphic design for near-field interaction at Design Engaged 2005, an early attempt at a visual language for the touch-point where phone meets tag.
- [Design Engaged 2005](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/11/design-engaged-2005/) (2005): Notes from Design Engaged 2005 in Berlin: Adam Greenfield on energy decline, Anne Galloway on the parliament of things, Fabio Sergio on whether interaction design has any material at all.
- [Tangible and social interaction](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/03/tangible-and-social-interaction/) (2005): Notes from two January 2005 AHO lectures on tangible and social interaction: Dourish on the history of HCI, examples from the Nintendo DS.
- [Sound objects](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/02/sound-objects/) (2005): Notes from Mikael Fernström's 2005 AHO lecture on sound objects in interaction design, sound as our fastest sense and the underuse of auditory interfaces.
- [Photos of touch-based interfaces](https://www.elasticspace.com/2005/02/touch-interface-photos/) (2005): Starting to collect images of touch-based interfaces. Oyster cards, bus ticketing readers and other ‘touchable’ interfaces on public transport.
