[KwartzLab] Felt Lab tour: call for participants

[doug moen]

The director of Felt Lab has invited Kwartzlab for a tour of their lab.

If you are a member or friend of Kwartzlab, and you would like to take
part, and particularly if you have ideas for how you or Kwartzlab
could work collaboratively with Felt Lab, then respond to this
message, and then we will book a tour and schedule a date.

Felt Lab is a kind of makerspace for UW students, focusing on large
scale interactive digital displays (touch sensitive, Kinect-style
gesture input, etc), and their commercial applications.  They have
several rooms full of advanced user interface hardware, and a variety
of student projects using this hardware.
