Design Promotion and IFIP TC14 WG7 “Art and Entertainment” will organize a workshop on the topics of “Design with Interactivity and Connectivity” at the DAPI 2021 conference on July 24-29 in Washington DC, USA.
The new industrial revolution driven by digital media, data, and the Internet of Things forms a key foundation of interaction and connectivity that has a great impact on the way people live, and the way businesses are organized. We are interested in the systems exhibiting both continuous (in physical and social spaces) and discrete (in cyberspaces) dynamic behavior, giving rise to not only new opportunities but also new challenges in designing products and services where human and technical aspects are massively intertwined.
Design Promotion participated in organizing WIDC & IDWE, by bringing the guests and designs to the World Industrial Design Conference 2019 and International Design World Expo 2019, on Oct 17-20, in Yantai China.
