Dear all, 

last week CHI 2011 was held in Vancouver, Canada. It was good fun to meet so many of you in person. I decided not to include every interesting paper in the newsletter and instead i created a own blog entry. I just included papers that have relevance to the field of interactive tabletops and surfaces (there were a few other interesting ones, but CHI is get less technical every year). So here is my list. I try to just include papers that also having a nice video:

A lot of them were also featured on http://www.engadget.com/ 

(if you watched other interesting CHI 2011 presentations with topics around interactive surfaces and tabletops, please let me know or just write a comment under the blog post)

A nice overview can be found here (after the Google Chrome Book):

Of course the Bill Buxton collection was a highlight:
