A chronological collection of inspiring talks by William Buxton
Bill Buxton is a Toronto-based scientist, designer, writer and lecturer. He has spent more than 50 years focusing on human aspects of technology—particularly concerning creative applications such as music, film and industrial design. His work has helped pave the way for many of the things taken for granted today—such as the multi-touch screen on phones or slates, or the technology used to video-conference. Buxton is currently a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. /via
