Just came back from FH Würzburg, the university I studied before I went to UdK Berlin. They invited me together with a couple of graduates to exhibit a current project at an event called "design.digital". So I took my CabBoots with me and had the chance to demonstrate them to a bunch of interested students and visitors. Furthermore it was a pleasure to meet my Profs Erich Schöls and Uli Braun again after more than 3 years and to meet a few former fellow students like Michael, Martin, Jan, Esther, Sebastian, Wiebke and others.

The exhibition was the supporting program for a panel with three great speakers: Prof. Philip Heidkamp showed a few interesting student projects from Köln International School of Design (kisd) and gave an insight into his conceptional view on interface design. Dr.-Ing. Didier Stricker gave an impressing overview of the work done at Fraunhofer Institut Grafische Datenverarbeitung. Especially interesting for me was the demonstration of the state of the art of computer vision, concerning my work EmotionsSensibleSchnittstelle from the year 2003.

Thus there was nothing new to me, the talk of Prof. Joachim Sauter was exciting as always. And as Michael also mentions, I had always in mind, that I already listend to Sauters first talk at FH Würzburg, in the same room, as a student, back in 2001. In retrospect his talk affected my interests and my studies so much and I could image, that several of the current students in that room had the same experience today...
