I’ve been doing some ad-hoc research on gesture/touch based technologies and children. Exploring what is a child’s learning curve for touch based device, their technology expectations and biases, what is the driving factor for playing with specific technologies and what does this means for GUI design, User Experience, programming, development and deployment.

I’ve discussed some of the general findings with various people at the Breaking Development conference with a lot of interest from designers and developers from Intel, Microsoft and a tech guru. The next step is to start compiling and putting some qualitative structure into my finds and sending out via this blog. Posting my findings and thoughts out there is intimidating, but a necessary part in my professional career development and personal growth.

Exciting times.
