Florian 'Floyd' Mueller
Floyd's current interest is in interfaces that deliberately require intense physical effort to facilitate social connectedness between remote participants. He has designed exemplary systems under this theme such as Breakout for Two, Remote Impact (together with Stefan Agamanolis), Airhockey over a Distance, Push’N’Pull, Jogging the Distance and Table Tennis for Three.

Stefan Agamanolis
Stefan was a founding research director at Media Lab Europe, Dublin, Ireland. There he led the Human Connectedness group, an interdisciplinary team that explored the future of human relationships as mediated by technology. He worked with Floyd on an exertion interface game called Breakout for Two. Currently he is Chief Executive of Distance Lab, a new hybrid academic/industry research laboratory for distance-reducing technologies that he developed in Scotland.

Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze
Nadia is a lecturer in the UCL Interaction Center (UCLIC) at the University College London. Her research focuses on creating technology that can sense the affective state of its user and use that information to tailor the interaction process. She is particularly interested in posture and body movement as a channel to recognize and affect the user experience. Visit : http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/n.berthouze/

Yuichi Fujiki
Yuichi is a Ph.D. student in University of Houston, TX, USA. His research topic is how to fight obesity using computer science technology. Obesity is a serious problem in the world, especially in U.S. The key is to create simple/motivating/ubiquitous interface that can change daily activity of people. In his whole Ph.D. work, he is going to pursue creating novel applications that work on small devices which people will carry around with them everyday (like PDA or iPhone).
