The foundations of spatial interaction design  
In this talk I’ll explore the carpenter’s workshop as a model for digital interaction. First, I will use insights from academic research in augmented reality and tangible computing to formulate some basic principles for spatial interfaces. Second I'll sketch the outlines of a room for understanding: a space where you are free to walk, build, model, compare and interact with information. Sjors Timmer

How animation influences us and how it can be used to create better user interfaces
Animation is an important part of user-interfaces because, if used correctly, it enhances functionality and makes apps more intuitive and pleasant to use. However, as animation has become more and more easy to prototype and implement, I often seen it misused, causing more harm than good.  In this talk I'll explain how animation influences us on cognitive and affective level based on the finding from animation research. I'll show you concrete examples of how apply these learnings for mobile applications in order to design more meaningful, semantic animations.
