Event overview
Dale Herigstad (co-founder of SeeSpace) presents past and current experiments that explore user interaction in spatial contexts.
In this edition of the Whitehead Lecture Series, advanced interaction consultant Dale Herigstad discusses his career in spatial interaction and display.
Dale has developed a unique spatial approach to designing navigation systems for new screen contexts. He was a part of the research team that conceptualised digital experiences in the film “Minority Report,” and has led the development of gestural navigation for screens at a distance. And as screens begin to disappear, Dale is focusing on navigation and display of information and graphics that are “off screen”. Virtual space and place are new frontiers of design.
"In my world, motion graphics and computer graphics have always been about objects in a 3D space. And now, as the world moves 'beyond the screen' with VR and AR, interaction is more complex and requires greater levels of simplicity. I will show past and current experiments that explore evolving approaches to interaction in spatial contexts, and seek to demonstrate logical progressions over time."
BIOGRAPHY
Now living in London, Dale Herigstad spent over 30 years in Hollywood as a creative director for motion graphics in TV and film. His mission is to apply the principles of rich media design to interactive experiences. He began designing interfaces for TV more than 20 years ago, and was a founder of Schematic, a pioneering design firm founded in innovation.
He has an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, where in 1981 he taught the first course in Motion Graphics to be offered to designers in the United States. He served on the founding advisory board of the digital content direction at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and also was an active participant in the development of advanced prototypes for Enhanced TV at the American Film Institute for many years. Dale is a member of the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences, and has 4 Emmy awards.
More recently, Dale co-founded SeeSpace, whose first product, InAiR, places dynamic IP content in the space in front of the Television, perhaps the first Augmented Television experience. And Dale is now researching and developing the design methodology for navigating virtual information for AR and VR.
